Inventing Construction

There’s a kind of quiet chaos in the construction industry. Not the noisy kind with jackhammers and rebar, but the hidden kind, buried in emails, ignored in meeting notes, and overlooked in the schedule. It’s called change. And we’re still not managing it properly.We've invited João Dias, a civil engineer with 15 years of global experience in project controls.From West Africa to the Caribbean, Denmark to London, João has seen it all: the same mistakes, the same blind spots, repeated again and again.Today we'll learn from the repeating mistakes he has seen througout the years. Mistakes that are still being repeated to this very day.What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction:- What is the project controls gap- Why there is a lack of change management on major projects- FIDIC vs. NEC contracts: pros and cons- Why hiring consultants is smarter than going cheap- Why we need public authorities and asset owners to lead this changeYou can also listen to Inventing Construction on these platforms:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2aAxc0iqOe2JJly3jCh9jV?si=8db208888a9a4e4cApple podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inventing-construction/id1629403210YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmFqJlVzEa6Lc_7LOTjvac2oTbRRk9HdKWe would love for you to continue the conversation with us on LinkedIn:Ross: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ross-griffin-kosmos/Elia: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eliaarquitectatecnica/João: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joaopaulodias/KOSMOS: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kosmos-dkThanks for listening!

A common misconception is that more data equals better decisions. Information Managers gather, process and distribute information at the right time and in the right format for all project stakeholders.The Danish term for the role, IKT-leder (leader), highlights its importance in ensuring structured, timely, and relevant information flow across all phases of a project.
