36942, 'attributes' => ['border' => '0', 'width' => '624', 'height' => '468']]) The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) revealed that the biggest challenge facing builders this year is the cost of materials with nearly 89% of survey respondents expecting building material prices to be their top concern. The second biggest problem builders reported is the availability of materials along with the time it takes to obtain them. Why projects suffer When it comes to multifamily construction issues, there’s more to it than building costs and labor pains. A recent study showed that the leading causes of poor productivity and cost outcomes had little to do with externals, and everything to do with internal management and monitoring. A combination of poor organization, inadequate communication, flawed performance management, contractual misunderstandings, insufficient risk management, and limited talent management resulted in a long and arduous construction process. After analyzing more than $1 trillion worth of capital projects over five years, the research uncovered that “improving ‘basic’ project-management skills offers the most potential to improving site performance.” Although the answer to productivity may be improved project-management skills, the typical property manager isn’t using the kind of software that encourages the speed and scale required to manage a large-scale project. Additionally, there are inconsistencies in reporting which means managers and owners...]]>

2067, 'attributes' => ['border' => '0']]) Note how the reviews simply leap out at you; you just can’t ignore them. And prospects certainly don’t. The communities with strong reviews rate over three times higher in “likelihood to visit” as those with weaker ones. Your ORA Score The ORA™ (Online Reputation Assessment) was created by J Turner Research. It’s a score of your property’s online reputation on a scale of 1 – 100, based on millions of reviews of over 122,000 properties. This score compares your online reputation to that of peer properties. And that’s why it’s essential to know: you’re marketing your properties in competition with others, and in our review-driven age, the one with the best reputation is far more likely to get the signed lease. Your ORA™ score is the optimal way to monitor how you’re doing in generating good reviews for your properties – something you should be actively pursuing rather than merely hoping for. Solutions such as Modern Message today give you an easy platform for motivating residents to leave positive reviews about your properties. The more you succeed in driving good reviews, the higher your ORA™ score rises, marking your steady ascent in reputation vs. peer properties. If your score isn’t rising, then either you’re not doing a good enough job stimulating those good reviews or the properties themselves h...]]>
