Q: Of all the sites, locations, or Buildings That You Have Managed, which is Your Favourite, Most Challenging or Obscure? _________________________________________________________________________ Good morning and happy Thursday to my network. Following yesterday’s fascinating site visit to a prominent events facility in Edinburgh. It got me thinking. Working in Facilities Management provides some unique experiences that I like to think most other form of work wont. Almost a peek behind the curtain. I have been fortunate throughout my career to have experienced some absolutely fantastic workplaces and environments (like yesterdays). Whilst all are unique some of my favourites are: 🏭 Managing FM Site Services at Sellafield in Cumbria and whilst the entire site was uniquely amazing, certain processes and site specifics were mind blowing. Not to mention the environment and Ecological challenges it presented. 🚄 Seeing how signalling control centres operate and their high levels of security and resilience for Network Rail was something else along with the complexity of what they do. 🛬 The fascinating world of Rolls-Royce Aerospace and notwithstanding the sheer engineering excellence but how they manage, design, manufacture and assemble aero engines across the UK. 🏭 Countless secure manufacturing facilities from IT to defence along with corporate offices that cater for a selection of senior UK VIP’s. ❓ So, what’s your favourite workplace or unusual venue that you have been fortunate to support or manage.

The Edinburgh Tram Inquiry Report. Unfortunately due to its size [961 pages] the document can't be shared here but is available at https://lnkd.in/ede_g-uv. For anyone with an interest in: * Project governance * Procurement strategy * Contract drafting * Contract management it really is required reading. The report evidences that when the Trams project hit rock bottom and the parties reached an agreement to remove obstacles and work proactively together that more was achieved in three months than had been achieved in the preceding two years. The best drafted agreement in the world won't unfortunately guarantee professional integrity or competence. The analysis of what went wrong, and why, should be considered by all parties contemplating the execution of a construction agreement.

Do you ever wonder how your mission impacts your general contracting firm and attracting the right candidates? I often fall back on this famous masterclass on leadership by British Explorer Ernest Shackleton. In 1914, Shackleton set sail on the Endurance with 27 sailors to be the first person to walk across the continent. While they never reached their goal. For over 18 months, Shackleton's crew survived on the Antarctic Ice through the dark, traveling over glaciers and ice flows and scrounging for food before a heroic and miraculous rescue. Throughout the entire journey, Shackleton never lost one man. How did he do this? Because it all started with Mission. From day one, He first understood and communicated the mission. He was going to lead a crew to conquer something that had never been done before. As crazy as the story is, despite a very bleak job ad, before he even began he had over 5,000 men (and some women) apply to join him on his journey. If you're a leader in construction, you probably know the challenges and the sacrifice needed to construct high-quality buildings on time and also keep your clients happy, and find the right people to work for you. Contractors who build on mission attract a certain force to their cause and you want to be a part of it. But without a mission, it's just long dark nights, bitter cold, and danger. Reaching your goal will always be doubtful. If you're looking for a great book, I highly suggest reading "Endurance" by Alfred Lansing.

"The team feels proud, as do I, of our results in the last twelve months, and we continue to build an organization with the technical, financial, and legal capabilities to deliver this project," Gateway Development Commission (GDC) CEO Kris Kolluri wrote to commissioners about the Hudson Tunnel Project. Read more about what Kolluri had to say about his first year in the job and on the progress being made on this historic endeavor. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gPrQz2sY

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 .

Are you in the Hiring our plant and equipment industry ? This is the first post aimed at exploring the crucial role of equipment hire companies in sustainable construction. It's time to consider including a fair proportion of the capital carbon embedded during the manufacture in plant and equipment in your hire contracts. This could be a key aspect of Scope 3 carbon calculations and save the leasing companies having to offset these carbon values themselves to be net zero. By calculating the hourly rate for embodied carbon, you will contribute to transparent and comprehensive carbon estimates for construction projects. Interested in exploring this in detail, please contact us at https://lnkd.in/eMsW9vQy and follow us on LinkedIn Sterling | Driving Net Zero Construction #equipmentrental #embodiedcarbon #carbonnetzero
