Signature Safety, LLC.’s Post

Really enjoyed this session yesterady and a selected bunch with different experiences and standpoints made interesting discussion. A few stand out points for me were How the Building Safety Act is going to impact on Frameworks and collaboration moving forwards. I see it as a positive thing and a real opportuity to move forwards on what Lagan, Egan et al have reported on for 40 years. What do you think? Construction procurement is now about far more than just the activity itself. Someone talked about us becoming school teachers, parents, counsellors and much more as part of the social value agenda, which I believe in. However, this got me thinking. When the government procures IT systems (thinking the Post Office Horizon and the NHS, and more specifically, Fujitsu, then what Social value for those levels of contracts do they have to demonstrate and give? What did the suppliers in the PPE crisis have to do to win the contracts? I bet not as much as construction has to. This is not fair or right. Surely Social Value should be spread across the whole procurement piece fairly? What is your experience? What do you think?

Well chaired Dan Whelan. A healthy discussion with a common thread of frustration, coupled with optimism and a desire for action and change. The lack of respect of value, both in terms of what each party is able to bring to the table, as well as value diluted by “a race to the bottom” has to be one of the key issues across the industry. #value #values #respect #experince #expertise #yougetwhatyoupayfor

Going beyond the build for Brasfield & Gorrie, LLC. As one of America’s largest construction companies, almost everybody understands Brasfield & Gorrie is a builder. The key was helping audiences understand what makes the organization special: the why and the how that sets Brasfield & Gorrie apart from the rest.⁠ See the full case study: https://lnkd.in/gVp5-Hvz

Why rent space with long term commitments when you can do this “on demand” and pay as you go, especially if your space demands change during the year. If you’re a growing business you can start small and scale-up your space as your revenues grow. More innovation from the team at Visku .

It was great to join DDC Commissioner Thomas Foley, P.E., and DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez this morning at New York Building Congress panel and share all the ways we’re building a stronger, safer, more resilient future. Thank you Carlo Scissura for the opportunity to share the role and remit of the public realm team at City Hall. To recap, we are focused on doing 3 things: 1. Hardware - Advancing transformative public space projects to make sure they happen on time and on budget. From Fifth Avenue and Broadway Vision to Chinatown Connections and Queensway, we support capital agencies to get them decisions they need to keep projects moving. 2. Software - Creating vibrant public spaces is not just about building new. The real secret sauce is maintenance and programming which can transform the smallest unassuming spaces into something wonderful. Cities need partners to help us do that maintainance and activation work, but we don’t always make it easy for partners. How do we make it easier for partners to do this work in our public spaces? 3. Orgware - Many agencies have various jurisdictions over public spaces. How can city agencies better coordinate their policies, rules, regulations, and plans in a comprehensive way that is easier to understand for people to understand and navigate?
