Construction’s Golden Girl We speak to Monika Slowikowska, founder of Golden House Developments, a booming London property builder which has grown six-fold in the space of two years W R I T T E N B Y: C AT H E R I N E R O W E L L
SINCE ITS ESTABLISHMENT in 2014, Golden House in London has turned the construction and building industry on its head and won a multitude of awards. The company has recently been part of George Clark’s TV programme Ugly House to Lovely House, successfully completing the build of a large number of houses and flats in seven weeks. Founded by Monika Slowikowska, 6
April 2017
the company’s turnover at the end of 2014 was approximately £1.5 million, but has now grown to over £10 million. With a background in advertising, Slowikowska fell in love with London and swiftly relocated from her native Poland. Experience within structural engineering, cladding companies and a partnership with her brother in a former business fully cemented her passion for the construction
industry, rising from administration and procurement, to property project manager, before going solo. Slowikowska is exceptionally down-to-earth regarding her achievements not only as founder, but also behind her motivation in driving the construction company, being one of the only women in the world to do so. She cheerfully adds on meeting George Clarke:
“In his 20 years I was the second woman he met in construction.” Growing the business Unlike a large number of companies which subcontract each package, Golden House has an entire in-house team, with 170 employees on board, solely utilising external subcontractors for specialist work. Slowikowska explains: “Ever since 7
PROFILE the beginning, I decided to follow this strategy because I believe that people who know each other and are a team can work together better”. This in effect also minimises potential risk and conflict, but also incorporates less management. Previously working alongside her brother enabled Slowikowska to gain essential experience in contracting, financial and logistical elements, exposing the often-complex side of contracting. One of the duo’s projects was previously nominated for the Royal Institute of British Architect Awards (RIBA) back in 2011, at which the project incorporated a number of sophisticated technologies and world-class design. She adds enthusiastically: “You build houses which are comparable or similar, but this was very different. What was satisfying was that a lot of architects’ details were modified by us and improved, which made it work”. When building Golden Houses from scratch, Slowikowska recalls that “it actually took a good four to five months to make up my mind and come up with enough courage to take on the challenge”. A hands-on approach has enabled 8
April 2017
the development of key relationships with workers, but Slowikowska is all too aware of the consequences of becoming disengaged, with this being the biggest asset the company has. She explains: “As a leader, if I become too estranged, then the values which we operate on would not be so alive during daily operations.” To this effect, she spends time on the different sites each a week, but also has formal meetings
CONSTRUCTION’S GOLDEN GIRL
with clients and its own in-house designers when they are on site. Building a resilient workforce Strong internal working relationships and teamwork is essential within Golden Houses operations, and Slowikowska stresses that the amount of investment and time it took to build the team has spurred her to ensure workers are never without work. She comments: “I have never sent
people home due to no work, there is always a continuation and they have that security”. Slowikowska shows deep pride in her workers and has a passion to see teams grow. With this in mind, she has based her management around tackling challenges in a constructive way, taking interest in how to support her workers to reach their key potential. However, Slowikowska admits that any worker who is not willing to work 9
PROFILE
hard and embody the core values of the company are swiftly let go, stating: “Its tough love – I’m not keeping on the books anyone who cannot pull their weight or do the work, because no one wants to work with someone who is lazy.” With such a hard-line approach, teams are able to self-manage themselves and managers have not had to micro-manage workers. 10

Company growth Nonetheless, with the vote to leave the EU, the future for building and construction in the United Kingdom is unclear, with over 10 percent of the UK workforce originating from Europe and eastern Europe. Slowikowska acknowledges that such change has the potential to affect the industry dramatically, but cautiously adds,
CONSTRUCTION’S GOLDEN GIRL
“this depends on the conditions which are negotiated”. Despite this, she adds that “ever since the beginning of 2016, wages for workers are increasing; we have captured it as a 12 percent rate increase, which we are prepared to do in order to match current market rates”. With the company’s accelerated growth, it is able to be selective in the projects it undertakes, and has therefore increased the minimum number of projects in process. The long-term goal is to undertake projects for £8 million and then work on a couple of projects to provide sustainable turnover. However, Slowikowska notes that “there is a very delicate balance between growing too fast and losing touch with what’s happening on the ground”. The company is continually on the lookout for good management to match its increasing growth. However, Slowikowska is quick to caution too rapid a growth, citing a possible compromise of company values. Recognition The company has been shortlisted for a second time by the National Federation of Builders (NFB) for
several awards, at which Slowikowska is continually humbled by such recognition. She recalls her disbelief at being shortlisted for the European in Construction Award and gaining recognition for the work at Golden Houses. She recalls that “it was a lightbulb moment, where I realised that myself and the company are doing something right and it gave me courage to see whether what we do at Golden Houses is comparable with other companies”. Since this time, both Golden Houses and Slowikowska have won a multitude of awards, such as the Construction News Awards, where the company’s innovative approach was acknowledged by the biggest contractors in the market, and fellow judges were impressed by the company’s new and completed projects. With the aim to provide built homes which will become desirable properties, Slowikowska continually looks for projects in which the company’s in-house design team can make prospective builds work better with the space allocated, rather than what she firmly classes as “shoeboxes, where there is not enough storage space”. It is clear 11
PROFILE
that Slowikowska envisages building houses or flats which show respect for prospective clients, at which she adds, “clients deserve properties which are better designed, better built - the cost difference of doing it badly and doing it well is not illegible”. The future of construction In addition to providing buildings which are well designed, constructed and fit for purpose, Slowikowska also aims to create buildings which do not hinder human health. She describes it as a challenge within modern construction, believing that the industry will soon have to counteract this to improve 12
April 2017
the health of tenants and residents. She explains: “With electromagnetic radiation in houses, we are living with steel beams, thousands of cables, and we have more and more intelligent equipment, all of which operate on a frequency comparable with mobile phones”, further adding, “we are creating houses which are as alien to the natural environment as we can possibly imagine”. This also extends to the products which are utilised in construction, increasing the level of allergies and breathing problems, linking to sick building syndrome (SBS). The construction industry is
CONSTRUCTION’S GOLDEN GIRL
continually undergoing a number of other challenges, Slowikowska adds that “unfortunately it is a traditional industry. Some professionals have shown a lack of respect, providing designs late, costing the company a considerable amount.” In past projects, designs have been changed at last minute, or essential details have not been provided, creating increased pressure. However, it has allowed the company to play to its strengths and to see what work can be completed to a high standard within certain timescales. Slowikowska adds: “When we are faced with a challenge like that - how
to resolve things, how to do unusual detail, I love that as it pushes us.” “Whether its supply chain, design, networking or collaboration, I find joy in seeing how I can tweak everything to make sure that it works well.” Acknowledging that this has become the most challenging role in her career, she adds that “it is our dream and desire for Golden Houses to be associated with good quality builds, quality design and a demonstration of care.” She will no doubt continue to push the construction industry to provide innovative solutions in building and design. Watch this space. 13

SKANSKA’S UVA HOSPITAL EXPANSION PROJECT, VIRGINIA Written by: C AT H E R I N E R O W E L L
Project Executive John Calvin discusses Skanska’s aim to develop and expand the University Hospital in Virginia by utilising key technologies and utilising a highly skilled workforce
COULD YOU PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF YOUR ROLE WITHIN THIS NEW EXCITING PROJECT?
After becoming fortunate enough to win the project, I became part of the construction management (CM) team to help facilitate the design scope and cost as the constructor. University of Virginia Health System had the vision to procure designers and construction managers early in the Schematic Design phases. During the design phase, I led the Skanska team and participated with the designers to work on scheduling, cost estimating, cost trending, assembling Design-Assist subcontractors, value management, constructability analysis, construction phasing and document reviews. I managed the procurement phase to secure a team of qualified subcontractors to work directly for Skanska. The construction phase services include construction administration and full responsibility for the successful completion of all construction. 15
TECHNOLOGY UVA Hospital has seen significant growth in the number of patients visiting the Emergency Department. The emergency department, operating rooms and inpatient bed area comprise the expansion of the current emergency department. The new wing, including the emergency department, operating rooms and additional inpatient beds will provide 80 beds and enable the facility and its professionals to treat patients effectively, particularly those requiring special equipment. The new wing of the department is being built on the site of the hospital’s ground helipad. It will include a sixstory bed tower – three of which are shell space at this time – directly above the new wing, with a rooftop helipad. The first three floors are known as the Plinth, which will support the Emergency Department, along with dedicated space for mental health care, more operating rooms, expanded radiology services and cardiac labs. The new construction is approximately 440,000 square feet and the associated renovation is approximately 90,000 square feet, through many phases. The work will encompass new drop off and entries into the emergency department for ambulance and ambulatory patients.

utilities on Crispell Drive, another street bordering the project; inclusive of electrical, storm, sanitary, steam and chilled water to the new building
Air intakes and an ambulance-ambulatory temporary entrance. With the enabling projects phased out of the existing site footprint, the team has now concurrently started construction on the Plinth and tower. We are currently standing steel on levels G, 1, 2, 2M and 3 of the Plinth. The east stair concrete shear tower has been topped out to its full height, approximately 175 feet tall. Our two tower cranes are in place and are servicing our project, the whole time coordinating this work with the still-active Trauma helipad located adjacent to our construction site. Currently we have $60 million dollars work in place.

TECHNOLOGY
HOW IS TECHNOLOGY HELPING YOU UNDERTAKE WORK MORE EFFICIENTLY AND TO A HIGH STANDARD?
The technology tools that we are implementing at UVA Hospital improve our communications, productivity, efficiency, first cost, life cycle cost, constructability, productivity, schedule and quality, to name a few benefits. Specifically, we enable utilisation with field connectivity; we install temporary infrastructure to support on-site data stations, deploy software programs, allow for mobility in the field using electronic tools; and use many communication devices from the field to the office. They all allow us to notify our construction team in “real time� and ensure the construction documents are up to date. We have found it to be an essential part of our success in providing a quality project to our customers. Construction documents include plans, specifications, safety programs, modelling, submittals, tracking programs, inspections, clarifications, schedules and many other aspects.
18

U V A H O S P I TA L
For this project, we have elected to use various programs by Autodesk. We have found that their systems are user friendly for all members of the construction team as well as provide detailed information about the status of the project. We are using the Revit, Navisworks and BIM 360 Glue programs for the coordination of the mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) trades. These systems do well in detailing the required information in addition to presenting an overview of site logistics to owner representatives. For quality control, we have implemented the use of BIM 360 Field which provides us with more than ample documentation of Owner, Designers and Contractor concerns and inspection items in the field, in addition to the most current construction documents.
This tool has allowed Skanska to document everyday milestones and challenges that are encountered throughout the project. There are many additional levels and layers of technology applications that are implemented for every CM employee. Through the use of high speed internet, multiple servers, Wi-Fi accounts, smart boards all as a home base in the collaborative, big room job trailer we are able to execute our technology plan daily. Our plan starts early in pre-construction and is then implemented daily in construction, which includes:
WHAT TECHNOLOGIES ARE YOU USING FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT?
• Noise/vibration inSite Monitor • Primavera P6|Oracle • Virtual reality tools • Mobile technology • A SharePoint portal • O n site kiosks with real time information.

TECHNOLOGY
“Real time” data is essential to the delivery of a quality project. At the peak of construction there will be approximately 400 workers who must be notified of changes that occur in design. The technology available allows our team to implement these changes in the field and provide the most current information.
IS DATA AN IMPORTANT PART OF SKANSKA’S OPERATIONS?
IS SUSTAINABILITY AN IMPORTANT PART OF SKANSKA’S PROJECT DELIVERY? Sustainability has become integral in the measurement of success for construction. Skanska is proud to utilise the most advanced technology to ensure our team delivers the most green construction available. The team is well versed in LEED projects and is committed to environmental, economic and social sustainability. This project is designed and being constructed to a LEED Silver project list following the LEED 2009 for Healthcare, USGBC document. 20

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGES YOU HAVE FACED THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT?
A successful construction project requires a collaboration of individuals from various backgrounds. These backgrounds often stem from a mixture of traditional construction methods to new technologies that have not yet been tested in the field. The biggest hurdle faced as a Construction Manager is maintaining patience with new users. To overcome these challenges, Skanska pushes construction team members to attend regular training sessions and have resources readily available on a national and international level. It is a challenge to implement new technology to improve efficiency, yet margins are extremely competitive, projects are complex, access to a skilled labour force is tight and wage pressures are mounting. Communication and updating as a team continuously with remote resources located around the country or internationally is another challenge. We also have to ensure that the temporary infrastructure
is set up to handle the high-tech requirements to implement all the new technology and handle the volume of users on a large project. We also must be able to hire, train and retain a skilled workforce on a project from start to finish that have the proper background to implement the technology. It is a hot market and the employees with this skillset are in high demand. Finally, it is crucial to communicate and utilise the advanced and changing technology to all levels on the project. We have to ensure the most technical of engineers; the creative architects, finance people, superintendents, and the skilled worker in the field can all obtain useful and real time data all at the same time. 21
TECHNOLOGY
With the ever-increasing volume of technology, Skanska is constantly looking for the best ways to improve quality and production. Lately we have seen the emergence of artificial intelligence and the utilisation of virtual reality. In upcoming years, we could see the use of artificial technology for interpretation of construction documents which would drastically improve the daily production for Project Managers. The use of Virtual Reality will be a tool to convey the design for our customers. We envision that this tool will provide our customers with a clear design intent without the use of mock-ups, saving the client both time and money. This is already being utilised on this project to some degree. Robotics and Mechanised construction aspects will be emerging as an option, due to the skilled trades people becoming harder to find when the market is hot. The everimproving sustainable technologies such as wind, solar and water will also be constantly incorporated into projects as these industries improve and become more cost effective.

How Turner Construction is helping to raise standards at Texas State University by drawing on a century of experience Written by Nye Longman Produced by Tom Venturo
TURNER CONSTRUCTION – TEXAS UNIVERSITY
T
asked with carrying out a $62 million expansion project for the Texas State University Events Center (UEC), Turner Construction is achieving something truly special. Leveraging over a century of construction industry experience while deploying a team highly experienced in expansion work, the global construction company is ensuring that the UEC will be a focal point for the university for many years to come. We speak to Eric Wildt, who is overseeing the construction as its Project Manager. We discuss how Turner Construction’s approach is delivering timely, cost-effective results while minimizing disruption at one of the busiest venues in the area. With nearly 50 offices across the United States, and with a presence in over 20 countries, Turner Construction offers a truly global experience. Employing in excess of 5,200 people, the company completes around $10 billion of construction on 1,500 projects every single year. “It is a pretty significant project,” explains Wildt. “It’s not just upgrading an arena - it becomes the front door of the campus and that is very significant in terms of kind of the image that the university has for future students. It is definitely impactful.”
36
April 2017
CONSTRUCTION
The project As Texas State University continued to grow in popularity and student numbers subsequently began to swell, the case for a greatly expanded and upgraded Events Center gathered speed. “We are adding around 1,800 seats to the arena,” Wildt says. “We are also adding new locker rooms, coach’s offices, and renovating a fair portion of the arena and putting in new fire protection and new lighting in the existing area. “It is pretty significant because the president has committed that
future generations’ families will no longer have to watch the graduation on a big screen, instead they can watch it live in the UEC. It’s a pretty big deal for the university.” Wildt recalls a time when the university was a much smaller operation – one that has now grown to house upwards of 37,000 students, whose Event’s Center hosts rolling ceremonies, as well as countless sporting events. Designed by Sink, Combs, and Dethlefs Architects, the 81,300 gross square feet (gsf) expansion consists of space dedicated to

ceremonies, athletics (relocated from Jowers Center) as well as space for a variety of functions. The adjacent Riverside Apartments have been demolished to make way for a chilled water plant, loading dock, parking, sports locker rooms, and offices. The project will also enable the Jowers Center to be turned over for 100 percent academic use, while all current Department of Athletics offices and functions will move into the UEC. “We are giving them a new scoreboard and a new

the thought we put into how the existing building would tie in with the new expansion,” Wildt continues, somewhat modestly.

expansion projects that did not involve full cessation of operations. “I did a large expansion to the Washington state penitentiary a number of years ago,” Wildt recounts. “There was a situation where the end-user’s business was basically sacrosanct. You couldn’t disturb the operation of managing the inmates. We had to really collaborate and interface with the owner in terms of work planning and sequencing to make sure we were aligned. “I’ve also done some airport work inside active terminals. It is
one of things that Turner does a lot of – it’s going into somebody’s house while they’re working and conducting work and trying to be as least impactful as possible.” Turner Construction recognized that the building can’t be shut down for two years: “We were able to tweak our work plan and timing on events and sequences to work with their schedule,” he adds. “One of the things that we are pushing heavily on this project is LEAN construction. For us, it is removing constraints and roadblocks and making sure

people have the right tools and a clear path to do their work. We make sure to engage all the stakeholders – universities facilities, administration, athletics all the way to the end user, all in a room with our people and the sub-contractors.” Ensuring that all parties involved in the expansion project are informed of the latest best practices, Turner Construction takes a top down approach. Wildt explains: “On a project level, it starts with me and if I am not living and breathing it then nobody else will. On a company level it starts with our executive leadership and works down.” This more holistic approach even extends to how the company conducts its meetings: “We try to run all of our meetings no longer in the old school way where the superintendent will come in and throw a schedule on the table telling the subs this is what you have to do.

“We do more collaborative pull planning and identify a milestone and we make sure everyone is making a promise to be done with the work on a particular day. It becomes a real group effort instead of lecturing to people, everyone has some input which means that they take ownership too.” In order to ensure that the teams are well versed in the most recent methods, Turner Construction deploys a mixture of different methods while training its workforce. Wildt explains: “There’s the formalized classroom training; we have a one week program called Advanced Lean. It really gets you indoctrinated and thinking about what you can do and how you can improve the world around you. There’s also more traditional ‘on the job’ training.”
Wildt and his teams have also benefited from introducing technological solutions into the project. “Everything is on iPads now, we’re using Blue Beam pretty heavily,” he explains. “Everyone has access to the latest structural drawing on their iPad - people can check the drawing and go out in the field and use their iPad to have the drawings right in front of them when they’re building.” He concludes: “You have to put yourself in the mind-set of their operations – you don’t want that to be affected. You need to look at what you’re doing under the guise of putting yourself in the owner’s shoes. How are things going to react to what I’m proposing? How am I as an owner reacting? How am I doing my work?”

ABB delivers intelligent power to secure the data needs of tomorrow. Data centers need power 24/7 to avoid outage costs of a reported $1 million or more per hour. ABB’s data center solutions and integrated systems are designed for heavy-duty applications and the world’s ever-increasing data demands. As an expert in power and automation, we have solutions for every type of data center; cloud, colocation, telecommunications and financial services customers. With today’s data centers consuming 30 times more power per square foot than the average office building, and with the demand for electricity continuing to grow, it is critical that we plan to use our resources more effectively. We believe that intelligent data needs intelligent power and provide technologies which allow for stronger integration of renewable energy resources. We adopt a three-pillar strategy to improve efficiency and ensure continuous operation:
VERT
1. We don’t just view energy as electricity – it could also be hot and cold water. We use smart intelligent connections to get heat out and product cooling back to the data center. ABB can offer innovative power grid technology and expertise required to integrate multiple power sources as well as grid power into your data center.
2. We all know that increasing energy demands lead managers to over-plan capacity
from the outset. At ABB, we take a different view, by provisioning electrical infrastructure with more industrial thinking. The use of elastic critical infrastructure allows operators to purchase the required amount of capacity from day one, reducing costs and driving energy efficiency. ABB’s entire portfolio is designed for modularity, from components like circuit breakers, UPS systems, all the way through to our engineered solutions like substations.
3. We also provide solutions for more environmentally friendly data centers through
deep component visibility. Data centers can be complicated things; they include a myriad of devices, from servers to fire extinguishers to cooling equipment, all of which need to be connected. By using industrial protocols that transfer more content and data we minimize the amount of cables and reduce complexity in the architecture
Just imagine how everyone is depending more and more on data, computing power and connectivity, with an increasing reliance on optimum data center performance. At ABB, we can help you meet the data demands of today and tomorrow.

The non-stop construction project Director of Construction Spencer Myers is in charge of budgeting, scheduling, hiring the construction teams and generally managing the overall building program by keeping stakeholders and management informed along the way. He stepped up to the role after being the company’s senior project construction manager, prior to which he spent 14 years as senior project manager at engineering consultancy firm Alfa Tech. Two new facilities are in development on its existing Santa Clara campus, which will deliver an additional 24MW of capacity, bringing the total capacity of the campus to 75MW. V6 began construction in October last year, and it’s estimated it will be up and ready in the summer of 2017 with another 9MW over two stories. V5 begins construction this month, bringing 15MW of new capacity in a four story building when it’s finished in 2018. While the internal construction team has around a dozen people,

there can be up to 250 people working on the project each day once construction has commenced. As Myers explains, “we’ve had to find ways to duplicate ourselves or delegate responsibilities by adding more project team members, more construction team members, and basically aligning ourselves with more partners so we could still get the work done within the necessary timeline. We had a zero to 60 ramp up speed when all of a sudden everything had to get done. We hired a bunch of people to leverage their skills and resources to allow us to do that.” The building designs are flexible, making it possible for them to handle different rack heights, room configurations, power redundancies,
cooling strategies and more. The two new buildings will deliver raised floors (V5) and slabs on grade data modules (V6) that allow for highly variable layouts and configurations to meet any specific customer needs. Additionally, the buildings are designed to be as energy-efficient as possible. In the case of the Silicon Valley campus, it abides strictly by California’s Title 24, which states that buildings must keep their impact on the environment to a minimum. As Justin Thomas, Vice President of Design Engineering and Construction says, “wasted energy is wasted dollars”. Thomas is in charge of the data center building projects for both campuses.

planning and design for expanding into new markets, coordinating with sales, understanding customer requirements, and translating these plans into physical, deliverable products. In his current role he has helped the facilities achieve lower PUEs (Power Utilization Efficiencies) than many other data center providers in the region. The PUE is the multiplier of energy that goes above what is used to power the computer racks such as cooling, lights, and security cameras. “We try to be very cognizant of the design, especially on the mechanical side,” Thomas explains. “Mechanically there are a lot of different technologies
you can use to drive it down. We try to be an industry leader in terms of the wholesale side, and having our PUE down in the 1.2 to 1.3 range.” All the keys to success While the architecture and design of the facilities are integral to its success, having an expert workforce plays a big role in it too. Three years ago Vantage moved most of its operations in-house. This was possible thanks to having highly skilled on-site engineers. Staff regularly attend external courses to add to their skills and take part in in-house training programs. Vantage

Overcoming challenges The biggest challenge now lies in the land. While in Washington it’s mostly unencumbered greenfield, in Silicon Valley it’s significantly more expensive than elsewhere in the country, partly because most has already been built on. For instance, the second Santa Clara campus was formerly a fruit processing plant, so Vantage is taking it all the way down to the ground and re-building it from scratch. There are other hurdles too. “Maybe there isn’t enough power,” Myers explains. “Let’s say we identify a property, it can take three to six months just to figure out if it’s viable.” After that it may be another two years until the facility is ready, factoring in obtaining permits. Space in Santa Clara may be at a
premium, but Vantage is maximizing what’s available. “We have to go vertical, so instead of building a single story data center our projects are now four stories high. We’re literally going up,” Thomas says. The company has achieved huge levels of success, juggling complicated construction projects while staying ahead of competitors. But there’s no letting up as Vantage continues to keep a keen eye on expansion. Beyond all the work already underway, Vantage has also secured land for a completely new second campus in Santa Clara. This project will leverage all of the great work and learning achieved to date as the team brings four additional buildings and another 69MW to the market in the coming years.

osendin was founded by Moses Rosendin. The company started life supporting the agricultural business in turn-of-thecentury Silicon Valley, winding pump motors, and rural electrification. As Rosendin grew over the next 95 years, the company developed into a multi-billion dollar, full service design+build electrical contractor and technology integrator. Expansion was first derived from working with Intel across Oregon, Phoenix and Albuquerque then jumped to geographich expansion encouraged by other customers, leading to what Rosendin Electric is today. For Bill Mazzetti, Senior Vice President, his journey with Rosendin started back in 2005 and his introduction represented what he describes as a “changing of

the guard”. Mazzetti joined after divesting his family’s engineering business in 2004 to his old partners. “Looking at our progression as a company in the late 90’s and into the 2000’s, management bought out the Rosendin family via an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), which widely distributed ownership of the firm. And then starting in 2005, several new executives joined a growing number of home grown leaders all to add new perspective to the company,” he says. “As we had some new ideas and our existing markets were getting a bit crowded, we started looking at opportunities that weren’t organically grown. Before, we worked with existing clients like Intel, we now work more prospectively and in concert with a strategic plan for the company.” Some of that growth came in the renewable energy and data center businesses. While the renewable energy business was founded as a wind power group in 2000, in the past five years, it has blossomed into a leading provider of grid storage, distributed generation and grid-based

solar work. Similarly, their data center business grew from zero in 2005 to over $650M in installed work in 2016, while simultaneously giving birth to Modular Power Solutions, Rosendin’s factory-built provider of complete electrical systems, and the leader in the field today. Rosendin Electric is the largest speciality contractor in the United States and works with some of the US’s largest companies, with particular focus on tech companies in Silicon Valley, Rosendin’s home court. While Rosendin works with many of the most sophisticated companies in the US, their tech clients press the known limits for speed to market and innovation for their builds. By all accounts, everyone marvels at the work’s size, scope and design aesthetic. Some projects are so large that the Pentagon could be dropped into the middle of them and the Pentagon would not touch the outside walls. “Like many of the large, complex and rapidly-constructed projects we are engaged with, there are often times that labor resources or the
“If you don’t have customers, you are not a contractor” – Bill Mazzetti, Senior Vice President sheer speed of the work demands a different approach to delivering the project on time and with quality.

and techniques simply won’t work at that scale and speed.” While the public has seen the design and scale of the recent projects in Silicon Valley, it’s the construction techniques that are the most innovative approaches that Rosendin had ever seen. The use of prefabricated system, modular

power and the general assembly of the building electrically will give a road map for what is now possible. “This level of innovation in construction will make people turn their heads and is reflective of where we feel the industry needs to go. With the commercial construction business losing skilled craftsmen at twice the rate it is replacing them, the construction methods and habits must address this labor shortage. Especially with one of our ongoing projects, it is a good step in showing people that, actually, we can do something different and change our methods to address projects

that while aren’t labor-constrained but certainly very, very fast.” With a commercial construction project, the size of the project often dictates just exactly which company can take on the project. Once a project is announced, contractors must look at the resources at hand, the field leadership, their finances, and supporting resources, both internal and external to the company. For large and complex work with a high degree of schedule or performance risk, this makes the list of contractors who are compatible with the project relatively shorter. It is an arena that Rosendin thrives in.
Another key challenge is the resources available. Mazzetti believes that there is a general societal mindset that looks down upon the construction industry - that it is not technology savvy, too dangerous, difficult and therefore unworthy of their consideration. In the current economic climate, this poses an especially acute problem as employments rates are persistently low in the most active construction markets. “There just aren’t enough people coming through the door who see construction as a noble, intelligent and worthwhile career,” he says. Couple this with the fact that even

though there are a huge number of young people who come out of college and into the construction industry, the process in going from fresh out of school to fully licensed and certified electrician or electrical engineer ready to work is often a long one. “Our cycle time between layman and fluency is a much longer than most jobs and when the economy is busy, good people are hard to find. That is not news, but it is one of the biggest challenges the industry is facing today.” This is nothing new for Mazzetti. When he was chairman of his former business, Mazzetti, his own father spoke of the challenge in getting fresh out of high school and college kids excited about construction and engineering. This generational problem has been one that has been tackled with constant outreach, but Mazzetti admits that while the mindset is changing, it is still an ongoing and difficult process. Recognition 2016 has proved a very successful year for Rosendin Electric, with
two of its projects being selected for the 2016 Global Best Projects Awards by Engineering News Record (ENR). When it comes to singling out achievements though, Mazzetti places greater value in two areas – customer satisfaction and employee retention. “The rewards you don’t see is what keeps 6,000 people in the field and 800 people employed in the office every day, the customers coming back,” he says. This echoes the ethos that Mazzetti has had with him since he was a child, the most important aspect of being a contractor really is the customer. “If you don’t have customers, you are not a contractor. The key to building a great firm with a great team is having great clients that allow you to do that every day. Those sophisticated customers have high standards and unique demands. “Rosendin really takes that and says if you don’t offer something different then you don’t get to work with those customers.” Integrity As a contractor, competition is

“The key to building a great firm with a great team is having great clients that allow you to do that every day” – Bill Mazzetti, Senior Vice President inescapable, and in all ways healthy. There are a wide number of other people out in the market who could take on a job that you are chasing. But when it comes to what separates Rosendin from others is the integrity of the business. “If we tell you it’s going to cost a dollar, it’s going to cost a dollar. Or should we suggest any one of several courses of action, they will be viable, with proper cost, schedule and risk attached to them. It is about arming our clients with the information to make the right decision for themselves. This is in our DNA. Clients reach out to us because they want a peer who is sophisticated and forthrigth,” says Mazzetti. This “straight shooter” approach is something that Mazzetti firmly believes in, but admits in some instances has lost potential customers. “The

buying process and experience varies widely in construction, as it does for all commercial endeavours for that matter. But when you are trusted with hundreds of millions of dollars of your client’s capital, and in all cases, being further trusted to deliver a strategic asset absolutely vital to their business, there is no room for nonsense and not having a crisp, truthful and sober approach to it all.” Integrity, and bringing out the best behaviour in people to generate a more beneficial relationship with a client, is a mindset that is coached throughout the business from the CEO on down. It is this approach that has allowed Rosendin to retain customers over the years, a level of trust and respect but also safety in the knowledge that the company will be the best for the job. “There’s a saying I have, ‘I worry

Technology Rosendin has invested heavily in its people and not simply the customer facing part of the business. Training, employee ownership and safety are hallmarks of the Rosendin culture. And while Rosendin has been entrusted to deliver for our clients and our confidence in that is no issue, Mazzetti is mindful of one thing – complacency. “The fact is, you want to stay far enough ahead of everyone so they can’t catch you but at the same time not too far where you are not relevant,” he says. “In every way, we are only as good as out last project.” What most folks don’t see is

that technology is continuously transforming the commercial construction industry. Rosendin has extensively invested in technology over the past decade. “The realities of our business today is that the speed, financial size, operational complexity and the sophistication of the projects themselves demand it.” That includes drone observation and testing, interactive design and building modelling system and business intelligence. For Mazzetti, technology has enabled Rosendin to ask the question, whether it comes to budgets, quality of work, timescales, safety or logistics, are we in the spot where we believe we are and is the project going as we expect it to? “To put it simply, we are giving the pilot better instruments to fly with,” he says. Rosendin uses Oracle software for data analysis and their ERP and this allows the company when working on projects to understand exactly where it is with regards to its projected outcomes. This is something that isn’t restricted

to Rosendin, but its customers too. Over the past three years, process automation and business intelligence has reached every corner of their business. That allows us to give a very accurate picture of where our projects and the firm is every day. “Sophisticated customers want sophisticated reporting and execution,” he says. “Customers want jobs completed faster and cheaper with very high quality, and you have to have the processes in place to support that.” Globetrotting Looking to the future, Mazzetti sees Rosendin expanding both geographically and in its offerings. The company has worked with their tech clients in countries such as Sweden and Israel. As it was in the first days of expansion Rosendin follow its clients. Whatever the future does hold for Rosendin, Mazzetti is wise enough to acknowledge that the economy is uncontrollable, but as a company it can continue to make smart business decisions. “We are a company that flows to need, like the river flows where it flows. While we have strong roots in several industries and markets, we are wise enough not to force it either, we’ve all learned the hard way earlier in our lives,” he says. “Rosendin allows me to do what I want to do and what is best for our clients, which is solve problems for clients and customers every day. There’s an inescapable draw based on our capabilities and our client’s challenges that we can’t resist.”
