Builders just told us that costs are up an average of 3% vs. last year. However, one publicly-traded home builder just disclosed that their costs are down 6%. I look forward to digging in deeper on what is going on here. I assume that growing market share is bringing even more economies of scale to large builders. I think it is more complicated than that though.

"Yes, planning is a contested space that involves a range of perspectives, ambitions and viewpoints; but does it need to be so confrontational?" In his latest column for The Planner, Craig McLaren laments the paucity of true collaboration within the planning process. But the pilot Scottish National Planning Improvement Framework, which puts an emphasis on collaboration as a measure of local authority performance, may provide a pathway to change.

Based in Cincinnati, OH, the leadership of Jostin Construction includes diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as a founding principle. The concept of diversity wins characterizes this foundational tenet, as it is woven throughout the company’s culture. DEI is lived throughout the company and is pivotal to the company’s success in such a way that one cannot separate the two from each other. Dive into Jostin Construction’s experience with the application of DEI principles in the construction industry. This article serves as a case study of the successful integration of DEI into a company’s culture as a critical factor to ensuring long-term success in the modern workplace. ? https://lnkd.in/erkKQ6HX

Hall Chadwick // Case Study? ? One of my favourite projects and the venue for our Brisbane Book Launch event celebrating the release of The Next Workplace, this space speaks to so many of the principles I share with you in the book. ? ? Hall Chadwick are a 40 year old accounting firm, with strong ties back to Western Queensland, from the founding Partner, to the partners of today and a large agricultural client base. ? ? When I started working with the firm, they occupied a nondescript grey space with perimeter offices, high workstations and more filing than I have ever seen before. It really was where ambitious souls went to die! ??? ? But, inspired by this rich history we transformed their workplace into a symbol of their country values. Overtly through the material pallet and construction detail and more subtle through the flow of the space. Inviting visitors into the cafe space, the kitchen is a space for all, just as it would be if you visited a country friend. ? ? You can read more on their transformative journey and the impact it has had on their workforce, in my book, The Next Workplace: Designing Dynamic Environments that Inspire Human Potential. ? ? ?https://lnkd.in/gVq-YUCE Hall Chadwick QLD Dugald Warby Rob Sendall ? ? ? #workplace #workplacedesign #workplaceofthefuture #futureofwork #9tothrive #design #office #officedesign #book #author #culture #hyrbidworkplace #hybrid #brand #purpose #strategy #workplacestrategy #businessstrategy #business #leadership #ceo #people #planning #workforceplanner #entrepreneur #management #reimagine #ex #employeeexperience #employeeengagement

JLL is pleased to launch the sale of Union Stockley Park - a fully repositioned, best-in-class investment opportunity. USP is one of the UK’s most sustainable office buildings being fully electric with an EPC A rating, WiredScore ‘Gold’, targeting BREEAM ‘Very Good’ and CRREM alignment until 2042. The building is future-proofed following a recent ￡10m back-to-frame refurbishment. Significant unclaimed capital allowances available to a purchaser from the refurbishment programme. The three tenants have all come from off the Park, demonstrating the appeal of USP, and they are highly committed to their space having undertaken extensive fit out works at a combined cost of ￡3.6m. Letting the part vacant first floor improves the running yield by over 150bps. There are no empty rates payable on Stockley Park reducing void costs. USP is one of the few offices on the Park to benefit from attractive views over the lake, with a west-facing lakeside terrace. For further information, please contact Noel Lander or Yasmin Foley. #jllcapitalmarkets #realestateinvestment #investmentopportunity

Great reminder of a seemingly simple concept that we all forget from time-to-time. Thanks, @Cynthia Farrell. Great photo as an illustration. It makes me think of projects I worked on as a kid with my dad. I would get in a hurry and he would always stress "Slow down, son. Let's plan this out and get it right the first time." It also makes me think of how I have seen many companies waste money on sales training. So many times, executives are unhappy with the sales organization's performance, % of salespeople on quota, pipeline and forecast accuracy, etc. So, they bring in the latest sales leader's chosen sales training organization to teach their sellers how to sell. Great. Without taking the time to fully plan for how their organization will support the new methodology, tools, language, and proposed behavioral changes, they later find they have just wasted precious time and money only to have to tear it all down when they replace the sales leader 18 months later to do it again. As Cynthia pointed out: ?? Individual leaders and teams think they're going in the right direction, but everyone is charging down a different path. ?? Everyone is working harder than necessary. ?? No one is willing to admit and learn from mistakes. ?? Resentment and distrust builds. Thanks for the reminder! #SalesEffectiveness #SalesPerformance #SalesLeadership

The wide array of disciplines within our residential and planning teams are integral to the success of development projects and so it is immensely helpful to bring everyone together and refresh what we know, learn more and share opportunities.
