11:15 The Design Process: From Start to Finish
Once a purchase agreement is executed, developers start quickly designing and entitling their building idea. But what precisely happens over the course of those months? This session helps us understand how to get from an initial "test fit" sketch to "issued for construction" drawings and introduce the challenges one faces along the way.
