    • "Selection Success!" should have a spot in your AEC firm library
      "Selection Success!" by Lori Stanley and Hilari Weinstein, is a thorough primer on the science and art of winning a qualifications-based selection (QBS) process. As with many of the "how-to" books you'll find in our industry, the book offers its highest value to the novice, walking the reader through the fundamentals of submitting a […]

    • Marketing perspectives: Where is your place?
      With several years "active watching" of construction industry marketing, I am starting to notice that industry participants fit into four distinctive categories.We don't 'market' because we believe in word of mouth and referrals.Common practice, indeed. Some contractors say they are so busy, even in the recession, that it doesn' […]
    • The (publicity) cost of getting it wrong
      The Ottawa Citizen yesterday took a pot-shot at a small local roofing contractor because of an apparent screw-up of the work on an elderly home owner's roof.The story "Excuses rain down on roofer's work" may disappear from accessible archives in a few days, but reading the story, I cannot help but think, "Why?"The "Why?

    • ABI reaches highest mark in more than a year
      The American Institute of Architects' Architecture Billings Index (ABI) reached its highest mark since August 2008 with its October rating of 46.1, up sharply from 43.1 in September and 41.7 in August.

      On Thanksgiving 2009, it seems fitting to list just a few reasons (of many) that I am thankful to belong within the AEC (architecture, engineering, construction) industry…. Not in any particular order, I’m thankful to work in the AEC profession because I’m: -Working with smart, well-educated professionals that WILL survive this economy in o […]
    • Scarlett Letter #62: Wacky creatures of habit…helpful or harmful?
      To date, I have taught about a dozen semesters worth of college level courses. Strangely, I have been both fascinated and baffled by the fact that my students seem to sit in the same seat or at least same general vicinity during every single class. The very first day of class, seating is completely random. The [...]
    • Scarlett Letter #61: Is your work a mystery? Or, do people clearly understand what you DO?
      It’s easy to assume that people really know what we do. Trust me, they probably do not. This includes internal colleagues, especially those at the C-level (even if you, too, are senior)! In your work environment, even if a professional colleague has watched you in action, they may not really know: 1. what you are best [...]
