Dale from SOBAC: The Builder Who Cracked the Code on Difficult Client Relationships | Ep: 133

Ever notice how some builders make client relationships look effortless while others constantly battle difficult clients and scope creep?

In this episode, we spend the day with Dale Spencer, founder of SOBAC, a luxury custom home builder specialising in stunning beachside and holiday homes along South Australia's beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula.
