This #ConstructionInclusionWeek, it’s helpful to spotlight that sometimes our preconceived notions of who can be successful in construction can unintentionally keep us from recruiting and retaining people who could be rockstars in our industry. To learn more, consider taking my online course Unconscious Bias in the Construction Industry. In this self-directed training, you will learn what unconscious bias is, how it shows up in the construction industry, and what we can do to overcome it to create a more welcoming and fair construction industry.

In this article, Naomi Whitesel shares the benefits of collaborating early and often throughout the design/construction process. I have had the opportunity to partner with her as she puts this into practice and seen the short and long term positive results. For those of you unfamiliar with the collaborative-delivery model, the following quote captures the idea well: "Traditionally, projects are delivered with a design-bid-build contracting method, where design and construction operate in silos. With modern collaborative delivery methods, however, by bringing the contractor into the design and early planning stages of the build, it is possible to incorporate cost, scheduling, logistics, and safety expertise into the overall project. While this collaborative approach may not always be seamless, as you're combining the different skills of execution and creativity, this conflict can be overcome to create trust, communication, and alignment and to truly leverage this wealth of expertise for the greater good of the project." https://lnkd.in/gtVWuitU
