I help developers transform their construction👷♂️projects to life | Status quo challenger | 🥐 Croissant maker | Team player | Business owner | CPEng | RPEQ | TMD | MBA | FIEAust
Here is the most common question we get asked almost daily. A quick answer is somewhat useless...sorry.. but IT DEPENDS. Over the last 12 months, we've seen COST PER LOT range from $40k to $250k. BUT HOW? Many factors made a difference: - Scope itself ie qty of earthworks and walls - Connection complexities ie depth and location of sewer connections - Economies of scale ie 2 lot of 55 lot subdivision - Basic landscaping or Botanical Garden style - Location So which one do you allow for, for your next land development project? Reach out to us as we can help you with more precise budgets so you don't get caught out making a wrong assumption.

Driving Digital Transformation | Translating Insights into Action | Strategic Planning & Business Storyteller | Architecting Growth
Such an amazing and insightful post. She brings up an extremely interesting and significant point. Unclear, misguided, or poorly managed initiatives and projects can be afflicted by severe delays (for a variety of factors). These effects can be astronomical and cause an exponential rise in costs. However, those costs are nothing compared to the repercussions of losing a vital or critical asset that we end up taking for granted. In So Cal, people regularly joke about if Interstate 10 will ever be fixed. I was there last December, 4 years after relocating, and I'm sad to report that it is still under construction. This of course, doesn't include the 35 years I lived there, or whenever the construction was started. I'm in TN now and often amazed or in shock & awe to see projects started and finished, especially when it's only been a few or couple weeks since I've been through a certain area and you can tell a project was freshly completed. We need to do better. I'm hopeful the infrastructure bill will do some good and it wasn't for naught. #AEC #ACEC #infrastructure #ironorbit #INFINITYworkspaces
Do you think we should build more freeways and bridges? What about our aging infrastructure? Karen Tatman, P.E., a leader at CONSOR Engineers tells us the price of delay and delivers a sobering wake-up call. 🏗️ Check out the full video at https://ow.ly/quug50Qi3fR #ACECOregon #BuildForTheFuture #Engineering #InfrastructureMatters #Construction

We always undertake a site visit at the start of a project. It really helps to understand the existing structure and how we can make it work for the proposed project. If we can re-use the existing structure it will help lower our Client's costs as well as lowering the project's embodied carbon. #structuralengineer #valueengineering #costsavingtips
Cost saving tip number 2 is maximise the existing Building potential Assess the existing structure to find ways to save costs. Reuse structural openings and foundations where possible. Early value engineering can optimize structural performance and reduce waste, ultimately saving time and money.

We understand that progress can sometimes look messy, especially when it comes to rehabilitating bridges. Beneath the surface of dust and construction chaos lies a commitment to ensuring the functionality and longevity of our critical infrastructure. This is the transformative phase where aging components are replaced, and modern technologies are integrated. Prudent Engineering navigates the rehabilitation with precision and expertise, ensuring that the end result surpasses expectations. #PrudentEngineering #BridgeRehabilitation #InfrastructureTransformation #SustainableDevelopment

LEED Green Associate | Environmental Science and Sustainability | Communicator and Educator | Passionate about creating a more sustainable future
The inclusion of green and blue roofs is imperative, especially in urban spaces. As precipitation events become more extreme, the question of what to do with massive amounts of storm water that comes so fast it overwhelms our sewer systems is increasingly at the forefront of our minds. Extreme events cause flooding and destruction of property and can even takes lives. Adding a green roof also helps with the urban heat island effect as green plants absorb heat and moisture. Adding green space anywhere in urban areas is needed. Making roofs vibrant green spaces can enhance the beauty of the city and help make it a cleaner, healthier and more environmentally friendly space. Great job American Hydrotech, Inc. and Northwestern University! #greenroof #blueroof #greenbuilding #urbanplanning #sustainability #climatechange #climatechangesolutions
Elevating stormwater management to a whole new level, on the roof! Revisit the innovative solutions used on Northwestern University's Biomedical Research Center in this great case study on Hydrotech's Blue-Green Roofs. Discover how the design team combined water detention and retention to meet the requirement of detaining 10,000 cubic feet of water on site. https://lnkd.in/g7Aeg5sF #stormwater #stormwatermanagement #BMP #roofing #waterproofing #greenroofs #blueroofs #greenbuilding #greeninfrastructure #architecure #landscapearchitecture #architects #landscapearchitects

"The concept of ‘smart’ – irrespective of the discipline it’s considered within – is often contested, and poorly understood. When we start talking about the possibilities in the construction sector, we encounter a wild divergence of opinions as to the progress being made in enhancing the buildings of the future with technology." In this piece for the New Civil Engineer, Charlotte Markey DipCIM, our Green Urbanisation Innovation Manager, discusses the value of smart products, smart systems and the implications for future resilience.
