How can you include team members in the estimation process?
A for sure win is to make sure that everyone is involved! As project managers we have to ensure that no one on the team is left behind. In a way we can see the traditional approach is spoon feeding or even gate keeping. This needs to be addressed. The best way get your team involved in the estimating process is to get them involved! Invite them to the meetings with the clientele who are decades above their experience, invite them to the meetings with the directors, AVPs, and VPs. Exposure therapy is always necessary in my opinion. Having them involved is more security for a successful project outcome.

How can Construction companies engage remote workers?
In my opinion, communication will always be one of the top challenges in the construction world. But I believe this solution and change can start right now. There are plenty of channels that can be used to communicate, such as the everyday telephone, cloud based-file sharing programs, project management software and video conferencing. But in order for these communication methods to be affective, mass adoption is necessary. Let’s be honest, when it comes to the world of construction the mindset is usually “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. Additionally most, if not all of the communication needed requires field presence and familiarity. With that being said, I believe the change will occur very soon with AI’s rapid development.
