In this episode, we sit down with Marques Manning to examine the critical role of early coordination in construction design, especially when it comes to integrating advanced audiovisual solutions. Drawing on real-world project experiences, Marques reveals the high stakes of bringing AV partners to the table from the outset—and the costly setbacks that can arise when stakeholders are out of sync.

Listeners will gain a behind-the-scenes look at the complexities of multi-team collaboration, the impact of rework on budgets and schedules, and the cutting-edge tools reshaping project management. If you care about building smarter spaces and lasting organizational legacies, this conversation is full of insights you won't want to miss.
