I came up with a disruptive idea that was more than just your average idea it was a solution for multiple situations across construction. I explored the idea with small group trials that have been proven successful over a 6-month time span from implementation to testing, including 3 active months of testing. With positive results from ideal participants, the people involved in the process and not just the data. Resulting in true ease of use platform for all.
1. Come to work each day willing to be fired.
2. Circumvent orders aimed at stopping your dream.
3. Do any job needed to make your project work, regardless of your job description.
4. Find people to help you.

7. Never bet on a race unless you are running in it.

9. Be true to your goals, but be realistic about the ways to achieve them.
10. Honor your sponsors.

revenue annually. Give people the agency to solve problems that affect them and create a value incalculable solution before the solution’s inception. By focusing on necessary
outcomes rather than methodology and providing project teams with the resources to develop new
digital tools, construction management companies can enter a radical new era of competition on the
cost to do business. The CMs who first begin to train young project engineers in programming or hire software engineers to focus exclusively on development for individual projects will reap enormous
benefit from the solutions developed to teams' problems in the field.
Digital management tools and the use of staff on multiple projects are industry-wide methods
employed as cost-saving measures. Changes in software and hardware usage have been ‘top-down.’
