When entering into the construction phase to build or renovate a space, it is integral to work from the pre-construction plan and be flexible for what may occur during construction. When construction has finished, it is equally important to make sure that everything is properly finalized. Building on material in the previous LEARN IT | BUILD IT | MANAGE IT webinar on Building/Renovating Creative Spaces, Randy Dalton of The Dalton Company will detail necessary steps and key considerations pertaining to communication, budget, scope of the work, close-out documents, warranty period and more to ensure that the construction and post-construction phases of your build or renovation are efficient and successful.

This webinar is intended for non-profit arts, culture, heritage, faith and community organizations looking to build or renovate a creative space as part of a capital project.
