delivery method, the team can work to address these and other challenges before the building construction is underway. Labor shortages are equally severe because they affect both timeliness and quality. Many trades’ core groups are aging, and fewer high school graduates are entering construction. Often, many individuals don’t know about the AEC industry and are unsure how to get into it. This lack of familiarity is why Hogan & Associates Construction actively supports ACE, a mentorship program for high school students to learn about careers in design and construction, and encourages other firms to get involved. Hogan also offers company-wide internships, apprenticeships and mentoring opportunities to welcome the upcoming generation into the construction industry. Overcoming these challenges starts with trusting, listening and understanding each other within the OAC triangle. When it comes to procurement, we prioritize submittals. This focus means we aim to complete them quickly, have colors chosen early and identify and procure, with the A|E team, scopes of work that may take longer to procure. Hogan’s goal as a “construction advocate” is to create a collaborative space throughout the design, pre-construction, and construction processes to meet the owner’s budget and vision through the architect’s design while delivering a top‑notch building. Ross Cox is Hogan & Associates Construction Estimating Manager. He coordinates the estimators' schedules and workloads and ensures Hogan produces accurate and timely estimates on each project. In addition, he works as the lead estimator on a range of projects. Partnering with a CM|GC during the design process helps all involved produce the best value facility and protect the contingency when starting construction.
