Amidst growing infrastructure demands, the construction industry faces heightened pressure for immediate action. To maintain a competitive edge, contractors must expedite the bidding process to secure vital infrastructure projects. Savvy firms have begun leveraging technology to transform their bidding and bonding strategies, enhancing speed and accuracy, to yield cost reductions of 4% to 6%. Digital empowerment also allows contractors to issue their own bid bonds through online platforms, enabling real-time adjustments for last-minute changes in labor costs, material supply, and price fluctuations. Digital tools, including project control platforms and cost-management software, provide real-time data analysis, minimizing the risks of underbidding or overbidding. This self-sufficiency fosters agility, allowing businesses to respond rapidly to evolving project dynamics without relying on intermediaries. JTE Claims Consultants Ltd. provides a wide range of services to the Canadian construction industry, including construction claims consulting services and commercial advisory and project control services.

Business-savvy construction executives understand that mitigating risks is as vital for long-term success as securing and executing profitable projects. They also recognize the significance of addressing their skill deficiencies through personal career development. In a robust #construction market, leaders tend to excel, as the adage goes, "A rising tide lifts all boats." However, it's imperative not to be lulled into complacency by the current market conditions and instead focus on continuous career growth. “A cooling construction market could also mean a shake-up in the top ranks at some companies”, says Alan MacNair, president of MacNair Retained Search. He says that when times get tough, the true talents—or shortcomings—of executives become more apparent. “I saw this during the Great Recession of 2008 and 2009,” he says. “Up until then, the status quo was fine. But if there is complacency in the C-suite because times have been so good, that’s a danger sign. Those people will be displaced by people who can build the business.” What skillset deficiencies are you currently seeing in construction executive leadership?
