Carolinas Design and Construction Digest

03/28/2024
Editor's Pick
GroundBreak Carolinas sat down with Clemson University’s N. Mike Jackson, Ph.D., P.E., incoming Construction Science and Management (CSM) department chair and professor, to learn more about the “why’s” behind this fall’s Second Annual Symposium for the design and construction industry — scheduled for October 12 in Greenville, S.C. — as well as his vision for the future of Clemson’s CSM program.   
Top Stories
 
 
Japanese automakers Toyota Motor Corp. and Mazda Motor Corp. recently announced plans to invest $1.6 billion to build a U.S. assembly plant.  While a site has not been selected, at least 11 U.S. states are vying for the project, including North Carolina and South Carolina. 
While promises made during a presidential campaign can’t always be taken to the bank, the construction industry is nonetheless preparing for a rise in federally-funded projects based on the Trump campaign’s promise of increased infrastructure spending. Contractors taking on this work must take steps  to prepare for a whole new realm of potential liability under the False Claims Act (the “FCA”).
The benefits of integrating technology into project closeout can best be seen rather than described. The paperless workflow that is maintained through preconstruction and construction phases culminates in the final element of the project closeout. In traditional project closeout, owners find themselves with stacks upon stacks of binders and endless loose papers. Through digital, paperless closeout, we not only eliminate the need for a Rolodex system in the facilities office, we put any and all information right at the owner’s fingertips.
