Theft is never a good thing, which often leads to other difficult times for businesses. Also, misplacing items or accidentally swapping items on a construction site happens as well. That’s precisely why we had these identification stickers printed, which are durable and water resistant, for whatever mess your tools and equipment go through. Thanks to Rob Breivik for the excellent design & creative work on these.
New Workers and Green Skills
As our skilled labour force in Canada decreases each year and the need for an increase in new skilled trades approaches, pushing innovated programs such as “green skills” mentioned in the article link below is a great method to motivate our young labour force. If we can increase the enrollment rate for Canada’s trade schools through emerging initiatives that will have an impact on our country and that these workers may actually be interested in, is a fantastic method to boost skilled trades. It’s thinking outside the traditional box of education programs that could really push our labour market forward. Not to mention that boosting green skills will be essential moving forward and a demand will most definitely appear for workers to have essential skills in green techniques. Who will be installing and maintaining all the solar panels? What about building all the charging stations for the electric cars on the road, or framing all the mid-rise wood buildings soon to be popping up in cities. It’s examples like these where we will soon need a young skilled labour force trained by the skilled workers now, to help Canada achieve our environmental targets and maintain them for generations. http://dailycommercialnews.com/en-US/Government/News/2017/8/New-program-will-help-workers-build-green-skills-1026720W/ via Daily Commercial News
Construction Management & Transparency
Here’s a nice article highlighting some key points on working with a construction manager (CM) but also the benefits and pitfalls of a CM model for construction projects. There’s always a time and place for different construction contracts, but the more transparent each stakeholder can be throughout the process, the better outcome, usually, will arise. At Bronnenco, we prioritize healthy and lasting relationships with clients, consultants and sub-contractors because through our experience, having a common goal and working together will always squash the challenges you face. Construction managers offer increased transparency and improve construction outcomes via Construction Dive
