#232 - Jim Sattler & Ray Echlin

On this episode, we sit down with Ray Echlin and Jim Sattler of Design Build Associates for a candid conversation about the true value of experienced construction management in the HOA industry. Ray and Jim share the legacy they are building through decades of industry experience, why community managers should not be expected to act as construction managers, and why boards need to bring in the right experts for complex projects and major decisions. The discussion also dives into the importance of the Business Judgment Rule and how board members can better protect their communities by relying on qualified professionals. The episode is filled with real-world perspective, industry insight, and a few crazy stories along the way. Most importantly, Ray and Jim express their gratitude for Dennis Brooks and for all the volunteer board members who dedicate their time, energy, and service to their communities every day.
