One of our most important and rewarding roles for clients is political due diligence … When considering a site, the most important factors are inevitably commercial and financial. Yet, political factors can be equally important. We have seen too many examples of sites being acquired with little if any understanding of the local council’s attitude towards development or indeed the local politics. Is the local authority pro development or openly hostile? Does it have an effective and efficient team of planning officers? Is it politically stable? Are there site specific local political issues? These are important questions which Team Terrapin can help answer … If you are looking at a potential site as an investment or for development, please contact Team Terrapin. We will undertake a detailed due diligence of the local politics. You can then make a decision based on informed and detailed knowledge. Team Terrapin : Best in class. Best fun … ??????

"In this frank and pacey discussion full of examples from their own experience, the panellists explore: What behaviour they’d nominate as the most helpful in getting megaprojects over the line; What a winning culture in the leadership team looks like, and how to foster it; How to cascade that culture all down through the megaproject’s total organisation; How to manage stress in the full glare of public and political attention" https://lnkd.in/e7nDchzM

Dear Gallant Engineers, I understand in leadership we focus so much on making a difference. This is possible by following someone's every step of the way, their willingness to listen and take action on behalf of the people for a common cause, her passion & commitment as her leadership experience tells it all. My fellow Engineers, i suggest you take sometime and watch. Lets all turn up and vote for Engineer Annet Nsiimire. With her background in bringing men & women forward into positions of responsibility within the Industry, she deserves to be given the chance. We all know that the world of the livery companies remains far too dominated by lacking ideas, when, if it is to be at all relevant to the 21st century, this has to change, and the sooner the better. Eng. Nsiimire Annet Uganda Institution of Professional Engineers- UIPE (Official) Eng. Atwine Ronald

The construction industry is massive, and impacts just about every single person in modern society, either directly or indirectly. We also have some huge threats to the industry, and one of the largest is a worsening shortage of workers. There are a lot of complicated factors that go into this, but one of the biggest is that we suck at advocating for ourselves. Sometimes, we only tell the bad stories about the industry, and not the good, and that pushes people away. Sometimes, we hide the ugly parts in a well-intended effort to attract people, who ultimately feel cheated and leave. Sometimes, we just skip telling stories altogether and choose to bury our heads in the sand. All of these are wrong. If you are passionate about the construction industry, and want to help to strengthen our workforce, and protect our future, I have an awesome program for you to be a part of. Crew Collaborative is hosting fall sessions of the Ambassador program on November 7th and November 14th, from 3:00PM to 4:30 PM Central Time. I did the program in fall of 2023, and it is incredible. For individuals considering it, you will learn how to be an advocate for the industry, how to tell the truth of how great a career in construction can be without hiding the rougher parts, and learn some critical leadership skills. For leaders who are wondering, "Why should I have my employees participate?", this program gives your people the tools and skills to be a spotlight for not just the industry, but for your company. Crew Collaborative is focused on strengthening the construction workforce and changing negative misconceptions about the industry. An Ambassador on your team is an asset that can tell stories to strengthen how your company is perceived by potential future employees, partners in the industry, and your local communities. The best part? Participation doesn't cost a dime. I'm #onthecrew . Do you want to be? Check out the comments.

Celebrating 25 years at Aggregate Industries reflects not just personal growth but the incredible opportunities that exist within the construction industry. Beginning my journey in the laboratory provided a solid foundation in materials we provide, which allowed me to transition into various roles in Operations, commercial sectors, and then into a number of leadership roles, Each experience reinforced the value of teamwork and innovation, ultimately leading to my current position on the UK Executive Team. This journey serves as a reminder that dedication and a willingness to embrace new challenges can open doors to remarkable opportunities. Looking ahead, it’s crucial to inspire young professionals entering this field. The construction industry is about more than just building; it’s about creating a sustainable future. Focusing on reducing waste and minimizing carbon footprints is essential for making a positive impact on our environment. I encourage aspiring leaders to embrace these values, as they are key to driving meaningful change. Your contributions can shape the industry and demonstrate that a career in construction can lead to both personal fulfillment and a legacy of sustainability.

It is always so inspiring to read on innovative engineering solutions in action.
