Since rejoining STRUCTURAL Middle East in February, I’ve embraced a new challenge managing our industrial sector. Reflecting on my previous experience in the commercial market, I’ve come to appreciate the significant differences between the two sectors. Commercial Sector: 1- A much wider pool of clients 2- Qualifying opportunities that fit our business model 3- Developing solutions that accommodate existing construction constraints (e.g., headspace) 4- Navigating commercial challenges (e.g., pricing) Industrial Sector: 1- Coordinating with operations team during the bidding stage to work around shutdown windows 2- Educating customers who are primarily focused on production 3-Managing challenging working conditions and schedules What are some other challenges you think each sector faces?

At HITT, we believe supplier diversity is key to building stronger communities. In 2023, nearly $500 million of our project spend went to certified diverse subcontractors, and today, we proudly partner with 1,350+ certified diverse small, minority- or women-owned subcontractors. By ensuring inclusivity across the construction industry, we're building a future where everyone has a seat at the table. But it goes beyond numbers—diverse suppliers bring unique experiences and problem-solving skills to our projects. As construction project managers, we have the power to influence the selection of these suppliers, driving both innovation and economic opportunities in underserved communities. Through HITT’s mentorship programs, we support our trade partners with resources, training, safety, and risk management. When our subcontractors succeed, we all succeed. Together, we’re fostering a more inclusive and impactful industry.

Very interesting graphic on overall construction business. Would be even more insightful to know which industries are giving each of them the most growth and in which markets.

Great to see WSP in the UK's own Tim Knobbs participating in a panel at the British Water Annual Conference discussing how off-site and modular build can deliver value for customers. Knowing and understanding the system you're going to integrate with, challenging the design (and standards) and getting clients and contracts involved in design are key. It's about getting the culture right.

Earlier this month the Culture in Construction Taskforce and Australian Constructors Association (ACA) hosted a webinar on the new Industry Culture Standard. BEC Content Lead Ainsley has curated five insights from the pilot projects.  Watch the full webinar on the CICT Resource Hub page: https://lnkd.in/g2yCV8AV
