Technology is being integrated into virtually every industry, but there are still some areas that could use its help. Mike Merrill of WorkMax explains how technology could make construction estimating easier. #ConstructionEstimating #ConstructionTechnology Learn More: https://brnw.ch/21wKS3P

“Veksel/Veksle” is a Norwegian term for “Change” (I.e., to change, alternate, vary). Our key principle is to bring a new approach to the contracting and consulting worlds. In having experienced various facets of the industry… - Energy Services Performance Contracting #ESPC - #criticalenvironmant design-build - Private and public progressive design build - Bid spec, lump sum - Local/state/federal public works - Healthcare - Higher education … we observed a desire for a transparent, collaborative approach by Owners, Designers, and Contracting teams, but an all-too-infrequent integration of the necessary means/methods. Teams would generally make a good faith effort to work in a spirit of partnership but frequently fall away from genuine “trust” and towards old habits leading to high walls and a team at arms length. To truly embrace a transparent approach, fairly mitigate and spread risk, move quickly, and save cost and time, we’ve found this requires a different mentality. It’s been a natural approach for us, as we continue to define, and redefine what exactly it is that we do differently. It has enabled us to support a tremendous array of projects: - Recompose bringing a world-first #naturalorganicreduction solution to market - Vaagen Timbers / #clt design-manufacture-install - Multi-family development and construction (various clients) - Hyper-scale data centers with Vantage Data Centers - High-speed conveyance and sortation system design-manufacture-install with ConveyX Solutions, LLC for high profile clients such as Amazon. - The list goes on! It is demonstrative of our theory that the core skill set required of strong leaders in risk management will transcend nearly any industry when applied with an open-mind, a willingness to learn, effective communication, and humility. Some folks advise us to “specialize” instead of taking on so many, varied types of projects. Our speciality is our lack of specialization. It is our team’s ability to lean in to nuance that makes us who we are and provides a library of literacies and contextualizations that help us solve problems together. We genuinely care. We are excited to learn and be challenged every day (normalcy and routine are boring! Bring on the unique and complex!). Our Clients are our partners and we treat them as our own. We do not behave as a commodity, nor do we treat others as one. #teamwork #partnership #consulting #manufacturing #change #adaptation #innovation

Megaprojects are on the rise, and delivering these multibillion-dollar builds is uniquely challenging. “It’s the age of megaprojects. For sure,” said Jamie Torres-Springer, president of MTA Construction & Development, which manages the New York City transit agency’s capital program. “[We] recognize that we have to run billions and billions of dollars’ worth of work on a permanent basis, and we’re building an organization in order to do that.” Massive projects, from rail tunnels to computer chip factories, have myriad stakeholders and lengthy timelines that span political administrations. To gain and maintain public confidence, it’s important to manage projects wisely and reinvest in systems in order to demonstrate good stewardship of public dollars, Torres-Springer said.

As I have stated for many years the construction firms need to move away from the Carillion type business models and become much more agile and innovative. Net profits of a few percent in the best of years just isn’t enough to make a healthy organisation let alone a high growth long term profitable business so these statistics are no surprise to me. The construction industry has been given two huge opportunities to become relevant globally with two key market drivers being the need for a sustainable built environment to meet 2050 net zero targets and a drive by clients to create #smartcities and #smartbuildings. Both these opportunities should yield enormous opportunities to improve margins and derisk projects whilst reducing skills shortages however current methods of thinking means these opportunities are lost and thus construction companies are assigned to irrelevance or at best low cost unimportant organisations shunned by investors. For the sake of the #builtenvironment and global #sustainability we need a healthy #construction supply chain that is agile, open to new ideas and entrepreneurial! If you are an executive in the construction industry and want to see how workspace technologies, modern methods of construction using low voltage fault managed power can replace 230Vac equivalents and digital transformation can improve your business and meet your customer demands then why not be different and listen to global leaders discuss strategies across the supply chain at the Smart Buildings & Sustainability Forum on the 7th September. You will meet with peers from leading financial organisations, engineering consultants, end users seeking #netzero buildings and technology suppliers amongst facilities management and main contractors that have seen the way to a profitable future. As change is inevitable, embrace change and you shall become a leader! https://lnkd.in/dSN-xhYd
