When it comes to current retail and commercial construction trends , we all know there aren’t a lot of new shopping centers under construction right now, or new office buildings under construction for that matter. Instead, landlords are focused on renovating shopping malls and remodeling office buildings to attract new tenants and entice existing tenants to renew their lease.

Over the past six months, I have had the wonderful privilege (ahem) of bidding about 15 public Requests for Proposals. While I have complained constantly about the process, I probably wouldn’t have any work at all at the moment if they were not available. As a brand new company there are very few private owners that would take a chance on an untested and unproven no-name.

Video conferencing has been around for sometime and has either been expensive or of questionable quality.

It’s okay to talk with my friends and family but a CEO will not tolerate the delayed image feeds or freeze ups. It’s just not professional. .

When it comes to best practices in shopping center development or mall construction, I have a long list of “dos” and “don’ts”. After all, that’s what happens when you work as a shopping center general contractor as well as a national retail contractor. You hear the good, bad and ugly from shopping center landlords, mall and retail developers, architects and subcontractors.

I am looking to partner with contractors on the following publicly bid projects. If anyone is interested in partnering on this work, I will provide pre-construction and bidding services and then aid in the project management. This is a great way to get work without the costly expenditure of bidding time. Since there are several bidders on jobs these days, it costs a fortune to bid enough jobs to actually get one.

For some reason I was sent an article this week from the Winter/Spring 2005 issue of the Fairleigh Dickinson University magazin e regarding generational differences in the workplace. I suppose I was sent this because I’ve often made mention of the differences between older and younger folk at work. Or perhaps someone was trying to tell me that I need to learn how to get along with and perhaps respect my elders a bit more.

What ever the reasons, we have Revit projects in 3 different versions going on right now. This causes quite a bit of confusion. One thing we have done to help is to subdivide our local file folder into version years and change the default path in each version of Revit MEP to put local files under the correct year.
