Today we talk with Dr Lin Song, director of the University of Houston Construction Management program and three professors – Dr Ahmed Senouci, Dr Lu Gao, and Professor Dave Staysich. Those of us in the Houston Texas area are fortunate to have the University of Houston in our community. They provide a world class education and research in both engineering and construction. And that research is today’s topic. Our guests are working at the core of innovation in the construction industry. The U of H Industrial Construction Management program is located at the Western Hemisphere’s primary hub of the industrial world and the energy capital of the US, Houston Texas.

So, it is an honor for me to have these guys on the show. You will enjoy this conversation about their research into:


Construction productivity
Module transportation
Scheduling research
And the gamification of construction training

We talk a lot about technology on this show, but my favorite topics will always be about people and culture. After all, technology means nothing without the people who build it, operate it, and maintain it. Today’s guest, Stephen Coffee, has a keen understanding of people in the projects, in the critical importance of investing in culture in projects.

Our guest today is Mr. Stewart White of Kiewit. He is the Director of Advanced Work Packaging and is here to tell us all about what advanced work packaging (AWP) really is. According to the Construction Industry Institute (CII) website - AWP is a planned, executable process that encompasses the work on an EPC project, beginning with initial planning and continuing through detailed design and construction execution. AWP provides the framework for productive and progressive construction and presumes the existence of a construction execution plan.

Stewart is a busy man and a true champion for the industry. In addition to his role at Kiewit, Stewart is also an active member of the the Construction Industry Institute where he serves on various teams and committees such as:

· AWP CBA – Leadership Team
