It has been a tumultuous few months for commercial buildings, and it looks like we are settling in for an extended period of disruption. It will certainly be challenging to operate for another 6-18 months before a “new normal” shakes out. Specifically, budgeting for 2021 will be a tough task, as traditional benchmarks will be less useful. That’s why we published The Commercial Building Manager’s 2021 Budget Priority Report, a resource for asset and property managers looking for best practices as they approach another unpredictable year.
With this webinar, we will dig into that research and have a candid conversation about the future. We will analyze our survey findings to understand what the industry is prioritizing for 2021. Everyone who signs up for the free webinar will be sent a complimentary preview of the report in advance of the conversation. We hope to be able to shed light on how your peers are dealing with so many unknowns and offer best practices that will make your own budgeting less stressful.
