    Is the façades industry getting its cost, safety, and sustainability right?

    A façade builds on a structure’s response to an external environment, protection capabilities, technical performance, and eventually contributes to the overall ‘health’ of a building. In ensuring optimal façades, important considerations are safety, sustainability and cost. On a recent podcast episode, Construction Week's Multimedia Reporter Disha Dadlani hosted Liam Northam, Façade Team Lead at Ramboll and Marina Kindelan, Associate Director, Façades at AESG to go over the important considerations, criteria, and gaps in designing and building façades.

  5. Why is it crucial to ensure early contract involvement from all stakeholders?

    ٠٧‏/١٢‏/٢٠٢١

    Why is it crucial to ensure early contract involvement from all stakeholders?

    Early contract involvement can perhaps make or break the way a project is executed and delivered. The industry has oft-discussed the need to ensure such involvement alongwith optimal collaboration for the successful and smooth delivery of a project. Collaboration by itself does not suffice, as the coming together of all stakeholders could be a futile exercise if not initiated or undertaken early on. Construction Week's Multimedia Reporter Disha Dadlani recently sat down with ALEC's Operations Director Sean McQue to go over all this and more in Construction Week's latest podcast episode.
