Engineers and surveyors appreciate a party invitation. We enjoy attending groundbreakings, topping outs, and even ribbon cuttings. We welcome participating in events that celebrate the milestones of a project.
Recently, the engineers and surveyors at Hall & Foreman, Inc. received party invitations. Our team members proudly attended the groundbreaking ceremonies for the Irvine Valley College Life Science Building in Irvine, the 1111 Wilshire project in the City West area of Los Angeles, and the FedEx Branford facility in the Sun Valley-La Tuna Canyon Community area in the City of Los Angeles.
We love seeing our projects come to life. We’re just as excited as the project owner to see a project move forward.
The development cycle can be a long and tenuous one. In today’s economy, with so many projects stalled or shelved, it is invigorating when ground breaks or the last beam gets placed in a building. Such milestones are cause for celebration by all disciplines who worked on the project.
Hall & Foreman team members attend recent groundbreaking ceremonies for education, mixed-use, and commercial projects.
When a project owner invites the full complement of disciplines and team members to the celebration it creates a win-win for all. Everyone benefits from:
- Stronger relationships between team members. People work best with those they know, trust, and have built a bond with.
- Lead generation. Success creates success, so successful teaming on one project lays the foundation for successful future projects.
- Networking. Valuable information is exchanged when design & construction experts mix with local dignitaries and politicians. Knowing what’s being talked about and who’s planning what provides insight into future opportunities.
- Expanded publicity. Team members can increase visibility for the project through their own promotional efforts.
- Professional pride. Acknowledgement for a job well done builds satisfaction in the work completed.
So to all the project owners out there who are ready to celebrate a project milestone – remember to invite everyone on the team. Acknowledging progress and sharing success creates a win-win situation. Keep the invitations coming. We love a party.
