What was it all about?

As the housing market continues to be tight, builders are under greater pressure to deliver quality homes that are defect-free. Insurance carriers are demanding more proactive management of quality and performance, and penalizing those who don’t comply. Executive management is looking to reduce warranty claims and hold on to as much profit as they can from each sale, and buyers are even more watchful regarding the value they’re getting with their hard-earned dollars.

By cutting the fat associated with poor construction quality, builders can save $5,000 or more per house , not to mention the impacts to their business processes and reputation.

During this webinar, Richard Baker and Anthony Grisolia of IBACOS will set the stage by discussing the business impacts and cost of poor quality, and what to look for in general to ensure building durability, indoor air quality and occupant comfort. Then, they’ll strip down each of the top 5 construction quality issues they see in the field, sharing:

• How they happen – Get the building science behind how the systems are supposed to work. Learn what common construction issues occur and why.
• What they can cost you – We’ll share typical costs in dollars and cents per house, and discuss the more intangible business impacts.
• How to prevent these issues in the first place – We’ll share a quick list of technical and business best practices to prevent the issues from occurring.

Who should attend?

homebuilding executives, architects, engineers, construction managers, quality and risk managers, customer relations managers, others interested in improving quality and reducing costs
