Most construction projects don’t fail because of bad builders, they fail because of bad documentation and poor coordination. In this episode of Construction Champions, host Ron Nussbaum sits down with Marcy Sagal, Principal and Founder of MSA Interiors, a firm specializing in multifamily, senior housing, healthcare, and large-scale developments. With 25+ years in the industry, Marcy explains why getting design and documentation right the first time saves millions, builds stronger client relationships, and prevents costly mistakes.

Why designing it right the first time is the foundation of a successful build

How early collaboration between architects, engineers, contractors, and designers prevents expensive rework
Why weekly coordination calls save clients money and frustration
