Innovative Act: “Most recently, I introduced and began implementing an integration of green LEAN building principles and incorporating them into our design-build process. This is an innovative concept in design-build that provides synergy with our commitment to working more efficiently and ties in well with supporting a more collaborative team strategy. It also formalizes and ensures more success in planning, procurement and overall project efficiencies. We will be rolling out team training in the New Year.”
