Calling all real estate developers, building owners, and facilities directors, on behalf of my fellow editors at Building Design+Construction, I’d like to invite you – or the appropriate member of your organization – to participate in a short but valuable survey: “What Building Owners + Developers Want from Their Design and Construction Project Teams.”
This survey is for an editorial research project by the BD+C editors that will be published in the February 2021 issue of BD+C, with extended coverage online at BDCnetwork.com throughout February and March.
PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT a solicitation for sponsorship. There is no cost to your organization.
The survey takes about 3 minutes. By participating, you will gain several exclusive benefits:
• You will get all the data – at no cost – before it is published, without having to register. Others will have to register and pay a fee to get all the data.
• You will discover the most crucial criteria for selecting architects, construction firms, and specialty subcontractors for your projects.
• You will gain insight about the most popular strategies real estate owners and developers are using to achieve building operating efficiency, sustainability, and occupier wellness.
• You will learn how other real estate organizations have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In short, you will gain big ideas and hard data that your organization can use to create even more successful projects in the future.
Your responses will be 100% confidential. All data will be agglomerated for anonymity.
(Click here to take the survey if the button does not work.)
Thanks for your time and valuable input!
