Building Michigan Avenue flagship stores for international brands like Zara is a sweet spot for Englewood Construction. With the 2012 Summer Olympics right around the corner, it got me thinking that with London six hours ahead of Chicago, much of what we’ll be watching will be old news taped from earlier in the day. While most of us will accept delayed Olympic news due to the time zone difference, the same isn’t true when working with international brands and new retail construction.

Sometimes in the evening when I’m working on a few things, such as this blog, I’ll also try to carry on a conversation with my wonderful and patient wife Sallie. Once I’m deep into the work, my end of the conversation decays into “uh huh,” “really?” and similar witty and relevant remarks. Clearly, I’ve stopped having an intentional conversation.

Insightful for Construction Office and Field Technology. Yesterday I received a gift via email that I thought I should share, this ebook. It’s a quick read from the president of AIIM International, who understands why doing business like you used to will be to the detriment of your business.

The interior design and construction of a workplace can make a huge difference in worker productivity. A host of big and little things contribute how healthy, happy, satisfied and, above all, productive employees are in their work place. Among the most important of these are whether or not employees work in groups or have their own private work spaces, the amount of noise in the area where they work, the furniture layout, thermal comfort and ventilation and lighting.

USDOT’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has delayed its promised changes to its Compliance, Safety and Accountability program, and the truck and bus industries are being vocal with their frustration. There’s no wonder they’re at odds: the FMCSA wants to ensure that its CSA program remains effective; the carrier industry wants its safety performance record to be portrayed accurately.

In fact, it’s great. Unfortunately, your firm may be suffering from “great idea-itis” and you have just walked into a minefield.
