FTI Consulting is proud to welcome Alex McBride, PE, PSP as a Managing Director. Alex has more than 12 years of experience providing project advisory services, forensic damages and delay analyses related to construction projects across multiple industries. Get to know more about Alex here. What does a successful construction project look like to you?   The most successful construction project is one where there is a mutual understanding of the expected outcomes among all the stakeholders at every step of the way. Avoiding adversarial situations by negotiating fair contracts, balancing risk, collaborating, and working together ensures strong working relationships and future work to come. To make that possible, you need an engaged team who can make high-quality decisions quickly during the project. Establishing processes that are both simple and reliable is worth every penny if the contractors and owners alike are able to "sing from the same sheet of music," to quote a great project manager I worked with.   What has been your greatest achievement before joining FTI Consulting? While I've worked on some amazing projects and seen incredible outcomes for clients, my family is my greatest achievement and daily motivation. This insight isn't unique to me, but I often feel it can be advantageous to keep the human element in mind when it comes to the motivations of the people we interact with in a professional setting. It has been my experience that better outcomes are often downstream of prioritizing relationships alongside high quality work.
