Architects design buildings. Contractors build buildings. Developers orchestrate the building of buildings and owners deal with the consequences. We are all creatures of habit and real estate players are no different. Architects and GCs will often design the specifications (‘specs’) of a building based on the last building they built. Contractors will build in a fashion they’re comfortable and know. Developers will rely on their consultants and partners that they trust and owners then expect a certain outcome.
I agree. As a trusted EV charging advisor, I work diligently to get a call with the Multifamily building owner to walk them through the options for monetizing another portion of their asset, while helping them improve Net Operating Income (NOI). Many simply see the EV charger as a necessary amenity capital expense and they haven't been educated on the true value of having EV charging at their property. Just following a spec simply makes you a price-driven commodity provider; bringing the dialogue to the strategic level and aligning the EV charging solution with their business value-hypothesis makes you a Trusted Advisor.
