Builders and remodelers work hard to earn trust, but trust can be lost quickly when payments are redirected, customer information is exposed, or a vendor issue slows down the project. In construction, cyber risk is not just a technology problem. It can affect timelines, subcontractor coordination, customer confidence, and the overall buying experience.
This session gives builders, remodelers, and trade partners a practical look at common business risks, including payment fraud, email compromise, vendor exposure, and smart-home handoff concerns. The goal is not to make construction leaders security experts. It is to help them understand where problems tend to show up, what matters most to protect first, and what simple steps can reduce risk without making the business harder to run.
Attendees will leave with practical ideas they can use to support smoother operations, stronger trust, and a better customer experience from permit to purchase.
How the session complements the conference focus: BuildRight SellRight-From permit to purchase-building success at every step: This session supports the BuildRight SellRight theme by showing that business success is not just about building well. It is also about protecting the buyer experience at every step. Strong business practices help reduce disruptions, strengthen trust, and support smoother transactions across builders, remodelers, and the broader supply chain.
