Leveraging Resources...

Re-Engineering a CM Practice
Handling 13 projects and 6 project coordinators scattered around the state was a tough job — for a one man, one assistant office.

CMIS group calendars make keeping in touch a breeze. A new way of handling documents distributes the workload more sensibly. Phone calls have dropped dramatically. And project archives are now accessible online from the field.
Caltex Refinery
 Financing a 50 man multi-discipline project office out of cashflow required efficient billing and prompt payment.

A robust time keeping database — separate from the accounting system — made it work.
Bangkok's Expressway
 Designing a 26 mile segmental box girder elevated expressway through the heart of Bangkok in 22 months was a challenge in the late 1980's.

Coordinating work in three countries using stand alone 386's, phones, fax machines and DHL was critical for success.

Elegant systems — control of CAD files — not technology, made it possible.

Our Approach to Technology

Competitive Advantage

Technology is a tangible resource that anybody can buy.

Your systems — the way you use technology — are capabilities that give you the edge.

We will help you get that edge.

  • Show school districts how you can manage multiple projects with the same size support staff.

  • Create a more detailed, better organized record of events, monitor status of RFI's, answer questions more quickly.

  • Extend your relationship with school districts to carry over from one project to the next.

  • Create additional products and services to justify additional fees.

    Pay Attention to External Factors

    Last year's success does not guarantee the same profits this year or next. You have to watch your marketplace, study, think and keep getting better!

    What kind of a market are you in — are the barriers to entry so low that others can compete easily? Are clients pressuring you to lower prices? Do they believe you are worth a premium? What new products and services can you offer to create new revenue? How do you create a continuing relationship with existing clients?

    Take a look at today's technology. Are you keeping pace with the NJEDA?

    Competing with Resources

    Companies compete using resources. Resources may be tangible — like a good location, or a patent. Or intangible — like reputation or very loyal employees. Sometimes companies compete on capabilities — like access to low cost suppliers or management that makes decisions quickly. Or how they use technology.

    Every buisness must keep investing to upgrade resources.

  • Nurture the crown jewels — your critical resources (maybe client relations, perhaps your construction savvy or maybe your ability to untangle contractual disputes).

  • Build for the next round of competition — invest and upgrade resources.

  • Leverage resources — organize around those resources considering external factors and the potential for growth in your marketplace.
