OPEN WATER

Looking out across the sea to the horizon ~ what do you see?
What do you feel?
What do you wish for?
That’s where I’m going!
Maybe we could walk together for a while, and learn from each other?

Greetings earthlings! ~ Dear people, we are in the midst and truly on the cusp of the greatest transformation in the Built Environment since the First Industrial Revolution.The onslaught of digital is everywhere, even slowly invading the construction industry! Whatever your role, function, business or organisation, and in this case size doesn’t matter, no-one will remain untouched by this revolution. Sooner or later this will catch up with you! Irrevocable, inevitable, invincible.A data driven industry, transforming the environment and the legacy we leave for future generations. There has never been a more exciting time to be involved in our industry! Best wishes, J. :o)
