What is the key to delivering successful building projects? Nick Clements Beyond the Guesstimate Podcast Episode 30 with guest Jim Gleeson from Keystone Build Most building problems don’t start on site. They start when expectations, scope and communication aren’t clear from the beginning. In this episode of Beyond the Guesstimate with Nick Clements, Nick talks with Jim Gleeson from Keystone Build about what it takes to create a building experience where everyone knows what’s happening, what it costs and what comes next. Jim shares why detailed scopes of work, open conversations and timely communication are central to the way he runs projects. They discuss what happens when clients make changes during a build, why assumptions become expensive, and how communicating the cost of a decision before work proceeds can prevent conflict later. Jim talks about how he has become effective at sales without considering himself a salesperson. It is all about listening to the client’s needs and then helping them meet them. They also explore Jim’s approach to fixed-price building, project management, back costing and using technology to track a project from the first client conversation through to completion. For builders, designers, and homeowners alike, it’s a valuable look at how clarity and communication can turn a potentially stressful build into a genuinely collaborative experience.
