Author: By FOUNDATION Software September 2, 2022 Duration: 34:56

Project development in the construction industry is an extremely complex undertaking that requires a large breadth of skills to get right. Home building has some of the most complicated moving parts in the industry and it can be intimidating for those looking to get into home building and development. Instead of looking at it one piece at a time contractors can get lost in all of the requirements and demands and never take the steps to become a developer. 

In this episode of the Mobile Workforce Podcast, we welcome Dominique Main - Director at Epcon Communities onto the show to share the top ten challenges contractors will face when building homes and how to best overcome them.
