Think about the space you inhabit right this very moment. Perhaps it’s a place of business with gleaming marble surfaces, glass-fronted offices, and geometric terrazzo tile. Or maybe it’s a modern courthouse with finishes like warm wood paneling and intricate stone inlays that impart the values of freedom and justice. Maybe it’s a home you built with your spouse, where rooms were planned and constructed as much around past memories as future dreams.

These days, you can’t enter a room where construction professionals are gathered without hearing the phrase, “Operational Excellence.” Though it is by no means a new concept, dating back to the early days of the Industrial Revolution, economic conditions of the past decade have renewed our focus on sustained and disciplined execution.

Recognizing that eliminating as much waste as possible from the construction equation is mutually beneficial for clients and the company, Balfour Beatty methodically analyzes project performance to continuously hone best practices and improve processes. This analysis doesn’t stop with typical surface issues but goes deeper to the underlying causes such as poor planning, communication challenges, and ineffective meetings.
