    🤔 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐝 "𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞" 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐮𝐧? Here's a fascinating insight from the construction industry that applies across business: When material suppliers offer complimentary design services, it often leads to specifications that lock you into their proprietary solutions. While this makes the design process easier initially, it can double your costs and eliminate competitive bidding downstream. I recently encountered this in a major infrastructure project where a steel fibre supplier's "free" design recommendations effectively eliminated alternative solutions – including potentially better ones – from consideration. The solution? I've implemented two key requirements when onboarding consultants to projects: Complete design independence: No reliance on material supplier calculations or design advice without asking for the client’s approval  Standard materials first: Proprietary solutions should only be used when standard alternatives don't exist and clear benefits are demonstrated   The response so far has been overwhelmingly positive - both clients and contractors appreciate how this approach keeps bidding truly competitive and ensures best value through procurement.    𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧: 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞.   What are your thoughts on maintaining design independence in construction projects? Have you encountered similar challenges in your industry?   #Construction #ProjectManagement #Engineering #Procurement #DesignStrategy #ValueEngineering #BusinessStrate

    𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗿, 𝗪𝗵𝗼’𝘀 𝗣𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁? In today’s "race to the bottom" environment, the role of independent flooring consultants is sometimes questioned. “Why bring in a specialist when project engineers or contractors can do the work for free?” It’s a fair question – until you look at the risk that is involved. 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨-𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮 𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳, 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭. Here’s why: ✅ 𝗨𝗻𝗯𝗶𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 An independent consultant works solely in the client’s best interests. Unlike material suppliers, we don't have competing priorities or conflicts of interest like pushing our higher margin products or cutting safety factors to win a tender. We validate designs, verify execution, and provide solutions that align with project goals – nothing more, nothing less. ✅ 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Small oversights in floor construction can lead to big problems: operational delays, costly repairs, or failed automation systems. By identifying issues early and ensuring floors meet exacting specifications, we save time, money, and reputations. ✅ 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 At FACE Consultants, we apply decades of global expertise and cutting-edge tools to deliver precision. Whether it’s VNA floor flatness for high-density warehousing or the latest G2P technology, we help clients meet the growing demands of automation and robotics. 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 On a recent contractor lead Design & Build project, our independent review flagged several key gaps in the shop drawings and method statement that could have lead to big performance issues in the slab. We also found several QA issues on site during our pre-pour QA process. By catching this in time, we avoided costly rectifications for the client and helped to deliver a floor that performed exactly as required.

    Is my floor flat enough for VNA trucks? Have you asked yourself the above question? If a client wants to know if their floor is suitable for VNA trucks to operate, safely and efficiently they need a Profileograph survey from Face Consultants Ltd. Why Face Consultants? you may ask. Well because we have been checking floor profiles for over 30 years, using the most advanced instruments available with unmatched speed and accuracy. Our (in house built machines) are TRIED and TESTED with a history going back to the original Face Profileograph of the 1970's, see link below for the evolution of our Profileographs. https://lnkd.in/eSJAm2rg The image below shows just 1 of 15 such machines permanently based in the UK. We have 80 such machines currently based out of our 26 strategically placed (CoGri Group) global offices. In this photo we are checking for compliance with the UK TR34 defined movement standard, but we could just as easily be checking for compliance with The German DIN 15185 or the American F-Min standard. With the appropriate extra attachment’s it can even be used to check the floors suitability for automation, including AMR's, ACR's and ASRS systems. Proving the world is flat, and leading the way for over Three Decades. https://lnkd.in/dHZsfWkg #flooringexperts #concretefloors #floortesting #Profileograph #VNA
