Consider how skipping updates can lead to wrong assumptions and costly fixes later. Building trust requires clear communication, not silent work. Owners who understand the process can give better feedback and avoid surprises. That quick silence now often turns into long, frustrating talks after things go wrong. Taking time to explain steps actually keeps the project moving smoothly in the end.

Long frustrating talks after things go wrong" is way too real. I've definitely been the one causing them by thinking "I'll just fix this quick thing" without telling anyone, @carr.elliot. Then boom, surprise mess for everyone.
