Bohler’s Keith Simpson Featured in Construction Tech Review

In his article, “Five Strategies to Streamline Construction,” recently published in Construction Tech Review, Keith Simpson emphasizes the critical role of thorough site civil due diligence in avoiding delays in land development projects.

Keith points out that clear and well-prepared construction documents can significantly reduce errors and simplify the bidding and construction processes. Drawing on his 24 years of experience, Keith outlines five actionable strategies to address challenges that may arise once construction is underway:

• Utility Profiling – Identifying potential utility conflicts early.
• Geotechnical Due Diligence – Ensuring accurate soil data to avoid issues.
• Quality Documentation – Reducing the need for revisions by ensuring contractors understand the plans.
• On-site Kickoff Meetings – Aligning all stakeholders from the start.
• Local Knowledge – Leveraging familiarity with the area to anticipate challenges.

Keith also addresses best practices in handling inevitable delays, suggesting solutions like redesigning around obstacles, reusing existing structures, and forming a unified approach with contractors. These strategies ensure smoother construction and better project outcomes.
