#5: Transparent Communication Builds Trust and Better Buildings in Commercial Construction Projects

Clear and transparent communication between all parties is vital for a project's success in commercial construction. From day one, Sela Building Corp has been founded on having an open and honest relationship with our clients, subcontractors, suppliers, and partners. This transparent approach provides numerous benefits and helps ensure efficient collaboration.

So, what exactly is entailed in transparent relationships? An uncompromising commitment to absolute integrity and sharing information freely between project teams.

It starts by asking clients who select Sela to execute their commercial construction projects and work with us based on open and timely communications, which is essential to a productive partnership. This critical aspect establishes a mutually beneficial fit for launching any construction project. 

Why is this so important? Because despite our best intentions, unforeseen hiccups or mistakes can happen regardless of the source of the challenge. As commercial construction project manager, Sela assumes responsibility for every aspect of the project. Rather than engage in unproductive finger-pointing, we focus on sharing and discussing each issue openly while proactively making changes to offset whatever has occurred. Keeping the project moving forward is always the number one priority. 

We demand the same commitment from our subcontractors. “We’re all in this together” is the basis for selecting partners who work with us hand-in-hand to resolve any issues, conflicts, or setbacks. 

From our early days as a small firm in a highly competitive and saturated industry, we focused on those aspects that would make us different and better; most importantly, as a family-owned business, we recognize every day that our future depends on our ability to serve clients at the highest levels of execution and satisfaction. 

Transparent and timely communication facilitates relationships that ensure consensus and mutual agreement on the project's critical milestones and goals by all participants. There is a collaborative dialogue, including schedule approvals, inspection requirements, turnover dates, etc. This unified vision helps keep the train on track and minimizes potential interruptions or conflicts.

Some of the key benefits of taking an open and transparent approach include:

  • Shared purpose and alignment

  • Improved Collaboration & Teamwork

  • Shared Stake in Successful Execution

  • Open Lines of Communication

  • Early Issue Identification & Resolution

  • Reduced Delays & Cost Overruns

  • Increased Accountability Across Teams

  • Stronger Professional Relationships & Trust

The benefits of our approach greatly outweigh any negatives. It lays a foundation for efficient, drama-free projects that finish on schedule and budget.

We never promise an uneventful or perfect execution of a commercial construction project. Instead, we commit that you’ll experience authentic and transparent collaboration with a partner who believes in continuous improvements and a strategy to predict and prevent anything that can derail a project. It’s a tall-order goal we aren’t afraid to take on. A lot is riding on the success of your completed project, and the same holds true for our team’s ability to thrive and grow.
