So grateful to be invited to Scottsdale today, to be a speaker at the Annual Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) Conference. Many thanks to my friend and teammate Andrea Rutledge, CMAA CEO, for inviting me. We're going to talk about risk-taking, life's 'jumping off points' and the Mary Oliver-inspired question: "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" 💛

As we continue to forge battles for Country first, the QS profession and construction industry …

Reminiscing on over three decades in the construction industry, from bidding to project execution since 1983. Learning to stand out among contractors by valuing relationships and integrity. Understanding the importance of fairness in every deal – a principle for peaceful nights. Acknowledging the significance of professionalism amidst the chaos. Throughout working for others, striving to embody excellence and adaptability. Building lasting connections where mutual respect shines even years later. #ConstructionIndustry #BusinessEthics #Professionalism

Projects are only as good as the team behind them, and we’re constantly working to raise the bar. That’s why we took part in the Site Work Estimating course, a 9-hour deep dive hosted by the Association of Builders and Contractors Construction Education Center. This course sharpened our ability to manage costs, anticipate challenges, and keep projects on track. Every lesson learned translates into smarter decisions and smoother projects for our clients. When we invest in our people, we invest in better outcomes. Better teams build better projects, and that’s exactly what Fortunato is all about.

Sean Keyes talking on Morning Live about the importance of industry accreditations. Accreditations in the construction industry are a vital process to ensure quality, safety, and professionalism, and businesses typically have to meet a series of stringent criteria set by industry bodies. While the accreditation process is comprehensive and gives clients confidence, the challenge lies in the ongoing enforcement and monitoring of standards after accreditation is granted.
