Diversity In The Workplace: #IWD2017What if you had someone in a position that could offer expertise at no cost to you?
We all know the importance of expertise in a field or subject. Having the ability to involve experts from different sections of a project from the get-go allows for more educated and informed decision-making.
These decisions have a significant impact on the overall costs of a project. Experts will provide an enhanced understanding of how all aspects of the thermal model can be met. What the importance of particular products or coatings are and so forth.
We understand what you expect for your project: windows that look great and offer curb appeal. They also should be smooth and easy to operate, virtually maintenance-free, offer thermally advanced performance, security, and will last for years to come. So it’s integral to speak with the experts around you. Looking at your projects from a holistic perspective and you can find savings on your next project.
The important part is to understand when to engage with your experts. In the same sense that you would speak to an engineer or architect at the initial steps, when should you involve specific product experts? For something like the windows, which are an integral part of the building design and performance, it’s early on. The difference is these experts, while still acting as a consultant, add nothing to your bottom line. They’re simply there to see the success of your project.
Knowing when to ask the right questions is vitally important from a cost perspective. Failure to grasp all of the aspects of something may lead to inflated costs. This is something that we commonly see in today’s construction world. Building and windows in particular, are more complicated than they were 3 to 5 years ago. In construction, that’s basically yesterday. So as things evolve, making a sound decision becomes difficult and more costly. Centra Windows understands the importance of being that window expert, that’s not on your payroll.
