The Contractor's Song: Builder As Advisor 鈥� Solid (As A Rock)
And soon both of us learned to trust / Not run away, it was no time to play / We build it up and build it up and build it up / And now it's solid / Solid as a rock -Ashford & Simpson

Over the first 25 years of my career, I spent a great deal of that time working as the engineer and advising owners from the engineering perspective. While I was involved in alternative delivery projects as an engineer, it wasn鈥檛 until I joined 竞彩足球app and focused on building water infrastructure projects for owners through alternative delivery projects, that I came to appreciate the role of the contractor. I鈥檝e come to realize, and I think more and more owners are realizing this as well, that a contractor is very well suited to perform the role of an overall project advisor. I鈥檝e discussed in past articles the challenge of supply chain disruptions, cost volatility, technical construction challenges, and start up and commissioning. As I鈥檝e jumped into these and other issues, I鈥檝e been enlightened that projects led by a contractor can provide some 鈥渟olid鈥� benefits to owners that are looking to have a single point of guidance as they deliver water infrastructure for their communities.
