Ethos Engineering’s Post

Great to see WSP in the UK's own Tim Knobbs participating in a panel at the British Water Annual Conference discussing how off-site and modular build can deliver value for customers. Knowing and understanding the system you're going to integrate with, challenging the design (and standards) and getting clients and contracts involved in design are key. It's about getting the culture right.

It's time to refocus on the heart of our industry: the people! Come break into the next big event happening with Breakthrough-Builders Network hosted by James Guntorius and Benjamin Carter. If you're a construction professional in the Dallas area, mark your calendar for May 9th – this is an engagement you cannot afford to miss. Our industry thrives on the collective efforts of each individual, and the success of our projects hinges on the dedication of every team member. Investing in our personnel is as critical as constructing our projects! We're thrilled to announce that Beth Bradford and John Beaty, CBPA from Insperity, alongside Nathan Nichols from Amber Electrical Contractors, Inc., will lead the discussion on the key issues that matter most to our teams.

Change is inevitable in the AEC industry. Whether you’re running a large engineering firm or a small family-owned subcontractor, people leave—sometimes unexpectedly. Your innovative CFO retires. A key project executive takes a job elsewhere. Your general superintendent faces an unforeseen health challenge. When critical roles are left vacant, the question is: Are you ready? Without a succession plan, these departures can send shockwaves through your organization, disrupting projects, teams, and your bottom line. But with a well-thought-out plan in place, those shockwaves become small ripples—and your business keeps moving forward. Succession planning isn’t just a best practice; it’s a safeguard for your future. At AEC Pathfinders, we help you create a tailored, fully functional succession plan to ensure your organization thrives no matter what challenges arise. Are you ready to protect your legacy and build a more resilient future? Start your journey today: www.aecpathfinders.com

Should be a great session.

System Planning is indeed a pivotal approach, especially in densely populated urban areas where the complexity of requirements, challenges and constraints necessitates thoughtful consideration of potential solutions. It is a process that demands not only the involvement of primary stakeholders but also a broader engagement strategy that encompasses various community groups, conservation trusts, and local authorities. As part of the Improving Urban Waters programme, we exemplify this approach by extending our collaborative efforts beyond the core multi-organisational integrated team. Such partnerships are invaluable, as they foster a sense of shared purpose and ensure that diverse perspectives are considered in the decision-making process.   I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the City of Edinburgh Council and Stephen Knox for hosting us for an all-day information & communication session, whereby we presented our plans and approaches, as a testament to the IUW programme's commitment to open dialogue and transparency. By presenting our proposed strategies and fostering discussions, the programme is able to align its objectives with those of the community and identify synergies for joint solution development. Building key contacts and nurturing relationships are fundamental aspects of System Planning, as they facilitate the exchange of ideas and formation of strategic partnerships.   #IUW #EnvironmentalImprovement #Teamwork #Agile #LeanManagement #ScottishWater #CaledoniaWaterAlliance #m2 #powerofcollaboration #Stantec
