The disadvantages of remote working teams... As Alexander Nikitin puts it: The biggest disadvantage is the face-to-face communication. We are human. We want to talk. We want to drink a beer. And, in a creative process we are better when we interact with each other. There's no doubt. ❓ Do you see any other disadvantages of remote working teams? ❓ #inventingconstruction

How to start implementing 4D in Execution Ross asked Omar Habib this: "I would say, start with MVP". "Minimum viable product". "Especially if you are working with a client or company, who has no experience with this". "Start with something just to prove the concept" "I would say as well, start with their problems". "Just solve something for them they really need, instead of just showing something really nice and fancy". ❓ What's your experience when introducing 4D in execution? ❓ #inventingconstruction

👷♀️ What is a Carbon Quantity Surveyor? Another podcast episode, listen here: https://lnkd.in/eD5_gZx8 Managing carbon on construction projects is becoming increasingly important the closer we get to 2030. If you don't want to see your projects strand because they can't live up to future sustainability standards, then this podcast episode is for you. We invited our very own Senior Commercial Manager, Roger Barkley, to discuss this new forming role of the hashtag #carbonqs. A role we, in KOSMOS, believe to be the answer to managing carbon on your construction projects going forward. We'll be discussing innovative strategies for managing carbon footprints, the importance of holistic project delivery, and the future challenges for asset owners as sustainability standards become increasingly stringent. What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction: - What is a Carbon Quantity Surveyor - Why you need to do your own carbon research - How we created a carbon database - How to strategically reduce embodied carbon - Why you cannot rely solely on softwares when calculating LCAs #inventingconstruction

The worst thing about BIM... According to Ralph Montague. If you don't know what BIM stands for, then what do you do? You go home and Google it... 😅 #inventingconstruction

🏗 How EPDs have changed the construction process... In reality, from a client's perspective, the carbon budget is just the budget. The Contractor is responsible for selecting the Supplier... And the Supplier has the responsibility to offer up the EPD. But not until you're going to the marketplace to test. The different Suppliers, the different prices, the different EPDs. That's quite a long chain. And the volume of information.... 😅 Having to test all of that from a Contractor's perspective that can't be done manually. You can't be, you know, ringing up the Supplier having a chat with them, trying to find a price. That has to be a digitized workflow of some sort. Otherwise, how inefficient is it going to be on these major projects... ❓ How else do you see EPDs changing our construction process? ❓ #inventingconstruction
