Unlocking the Power of Effective Communication in the Construction Industry
In the ever-evolving world of construction, efficient communication has become a crucial factor in determining the success of a project. Ron Nussbaum, the founder of BuilderComs software and the host of the Construction Champions podcast, has dedicated his career to addressing the communication challenges that plague the industry.
Addressing the Communication Gap
Ron Nussbaum's journey began in the residential construction sector, where he experienced firsthand the detrimental impact of poor communication. As he scaled a residential construction company to over 100 employees and an 8-figure revenue, he realized that the industry's long-standing acceptance of subpar communication needed to be challenged.
"We're talking over 30 years ago, and we just let it be acceptable in construction, it's a construction project. It's okay to be bad communicators. I feel differently about it."
Inspired by this realization, Ron Nussbaum set out to develop a solution that would bridge the communication gap between construction professionals and their clients.
