Phillips & Jordan has the perfect construction niche for this century - emergency response and disaster cleanup from hurricanes, tornadoes and floods.
ENR (Tough Cleanup Missions Never Impossible) had a profile of P&J several weeks ago. They know the disaster response business well and are strategically committed to innovation in the context of improvement in performance and efficiency. Smart companies are always in search of smarter tools. Smart employees want to work for employers engaged in the process of making them smarter - - you end up with layers of the organization always thinking in terms of becoming smarter.. Linking layers of "smart" goals and technology is increasingly important in the AEC industry. Consider the following from the article:
"In 2011, P&J created and implemented an in-house automated debris-management system called STORM, or "strategic tracking of recovery material," for emergency-response work. It streamlines project tracking, reporting and reconciliation using web-based software system that is compatible with smart-phones and handheld devices; the software system captures, records and measures data such as time and date, worker and subcontractor, equipment and trucks, and type and quantity of waste. STORM relies upon photos, bar-code scans and satellite tracking for accurate, real-time progress reports, with data easily exported into spreadsheets."
