Bridging the Gap: Breaking Down Misconceptions Between Contractors and Developers
Kickstart Sessions complement the Jumpstart Wilmington program and offer information around specific topics related to the development process.
In this session, Bobby Judge, Business Development Manager at Bancroft Construction Company, will explore the dynamics between construction managers, general contractors and developers, uncovering and dismantling misconceptions that may hinder effective collaboration and project success.
Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the underlying factors that contribute to those misconceptions, such as miscommunication, differing priorities, and preconceived notions. Bobby will provide practical strategies for overcoming these barriers and building stronger, more productive relationships between contractors and developers.

ABOUT JUMPSTART WILMINGTON
Jumpstart Wilmington was launched to help Wilmington residents to become developers of their own neighborhood through quality, community-focused real estate development training and financing options. Our program is modeled after the original Jumpstart Germantown Program, which was created by Ken Weinstein to facilitate the revitalization of the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia through high quality residential renovations.
Increased local developer capacity in Wilmington is the key to scaling development activity and revitalizing communities more rapidly. We see residents of Wilmington communities as the best resource for neighborhood revitalization, as many have potential to effect positive change in their neighborhoods. Jumpstart Wilmington can provide aspiring developers who live in Wilmington communities with the skills, knowledge, and support they need to rehabilitate key properties, one at a time. In the absence of established real estate developers willing to invest in smaller scale projects, this program will cultivate a force of new local developers who currently reside in Wilmington or have a commitment to improving Wilmington neighborhoods.
