“The benefit of DFI is the networking, meeting with others in the industry and learning things that you can apply to your own projects — innovations that you can bring to your clients that can save them money and time. Everyone likes to be innovative, to look ahead and propose a solution that can help, be good for the environment, or save time or cost.”
