How Collaboration Tools Benefit Project Teams

Whether ground-up construction or an extensive remodel, silo activity of team members and/or misaligned assumptions can derail the process.

Finding Value in Property Technology

There is a recent surge in popularity for PropTech (property technology) solutions as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has building owners and property managers seeking out safer and more efficient ways of operating their real estate portfolios. With a heightened focus on health and safety, many of these solutions help to mitigate the inherent risks of multiple users navigating, occupying, and simultaneously using building spaces and systems. Common areas of focus include access and security, wayfinding, and facility management. With the influx in visibility of these technologies, it’s important to consider the value of any solution before it is implemented in your space.

When is the Right Time to Engage a Project Manager for Your Construction Project?

Whether new construction or a “simple” remodel, projects of any scale can easily become more complex than initially thought. For owners who don’t spend their days managing design and construction projects, this is often a byproduct of “not knowing what you don’t know.” A good project manager (PM) provides value well before the actual physical construction of the project ever begins.  Relying on the experience of someone who has “been there before” from the very beginning will ensure the team makes smart strategic decisions regarding site selection; engaging the right design and construction teams; and determining appropriate project scope, timelines, and budget. Each of these tasks can easily overwhelm an owner and strain company resources, distracting from other daily operations. Partnering with a project manager early in the process brings clarity and best practices to any project.
