Building Skyscrapers is Harder Than You Might Think
Turner Construction is a 117 year old global construction firm headquartered in New York. The amount of teamwork involved in estimating, procuring, and building a modern structure boggles the mind. Dozens of companies, hundreds of people, designers, architects, plumbers, woodworkers, steelworkers, tile setters, and on and on. It is an arcane dance that involves constant learning, constant communication, and expert adjustment to keep to the schedule, to the budget, and especially to keep everyone safe. We worked with Turner in all aspects of planning, procurement, and construction to visualize work, increase the fidelity of communication, and provide constancy of purpose for all involved in their jointly herculean task.
