Do You Ever Have Clients Who Think They’re Too Involved In The Process?

Trust is the foundation of every successful construction project. In this eye-opening discussion, licensed general contractor Alex Kosley tackles the delicate subject of client involvement during builds, revealing why excessive site visits and micromanagement can derail even the most promising projects.

Drawing from years of experience, Alex shares candid insights about what he calls "the daily hard hat client" - well-meaning homeowners whose constant presence and impromptu directions create unintended consequences. "When clients are overly present, such as showing up unannounced, asking subs for changes, directly trying to manage things on site, it doesn't help. It actually hurts," Alex explains. His compelling analogy comparing micromanagement to giving pilots flying tips from the passenger seat perfectly captures why maintaining professional boundaries benefits everyone.

But this isn't about shutting clients out of the process. The episode reveals StreamHome Construction's thoughtful approach to meaningful client engagement, including strategic milestone walkthroughs, their innovative digital dashboard system, and biweekly progress meetings. These structured touchpoints maintain transparency while protecting the project's flow. Alex also introduces their "space shuttle philosophy" - the concept that comprehensive planning before breaking ground prevents costly mid-project changes and delays.
