After the boys were done taking jabs at each other, they each take this question and apply it to their fields: building (Jake), designing (Steve), and enclosure review (Pete). Much of the discussion centers on cost and expectations that both building professionals and clients have or should set with each other. Another main theme is that pulling in expertise early in the design process may seem as though it is more costly but in the long run, better to spend a bit upfront and get key input during design rather than costly changes deeper into the build process. And interestingly, the conversation went from cost to trust as a key element of Pre-Construction.
