Axis Capital Group Singapore: Worldwide Challenges Facing the Construction Industry - 1 views

    Worldwide Challenges Facing the Construction Industry,axis capital group construction equipment rentals in Jakarta, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur Worldwide Challenges Facing the Construction Industry Jakarta, Indonesia - Despite the industry's efforts and the emerging age of construction and industrialization in both developed and developing countries in the world, the issues and the challenges continue to rise and strive. Never will the industry or any other things, for that matter be without these challenges. There are some very serious challenges facing the construction industry that are motivating new approaches to how we design, build, operate, and maintain buildings and infrastructure. While these new technologies are designed to address challenges in the construction industry, I think that they are going to profoundly affect other sectors such as operations and maintenance, emergency planning, first response and urban planning. Axis Capital Group, a construction company based in Singapore and is distributing around South East Asia has listed some of the major hindrances a construction business should endure. Global Climate Change The construction industry is faced with the challenge to replace or renovate buildings to minimize environmental impact, for example, achieving carbon neutrality, and while at the same time yielding a respectable financial return on investment. The approach to green buildings requires new challenges to designing new buildings and renovating existing buildings. In Singapore, the government gave out a warning to building owners that by 2020, 80% of infrastructures in the country should be green and meet the standards.

How Do You Know Your Crew is Productive and Avoid the Complaints Afterwards - 1 views

  •  
    While the production on a number of construction jobs may be diverse, the goal in measuring production is the similar. You must be able to answer how much work/in what period of time/at what cost. Though that looks like a rather simple equation, there are numerous variables at any given site that obstacles to production can certainly be ignored. Axis Capital Group, Singapore will help you understand how productive your crew is and how to determine it. (Axis Capital Group, based in Singapore, is a company that sells and rents construction capital equipment from cranes to excavators and related heavy construction equipment throughout Southeast Asian countries such as KL Malaysia, Beijing China, Jakarta Indonesia, Bangkok Thailand and many more.) Begin and connect clear production objectives for every shift. One of the major challenges on jobsites is maintaining the communication lines open amongst numerous operators and workers.(Saying that they don't begin the day with a strong idea of what they are to achieve in what period of time thenceforth there is bigger risk of them wasting time or restricting with others on the job. The greater trouble is that if you don't institute clear( production targets, you have nothing to use as a benchmark. Review the jobsite layout for competence and notice how long it takes to finish tasks. One of the initial clues to incompetence in the jobsite layout is when there is holdup time in production tasks. Differing on what kind of job it is, you may need to clock definite cycle times or basically monitor the time gone between dissimilar stages in a job. Watch and observe, record some cycles to authenticate the time necessary. The same attitude might be useful to an underground utility job. The bedding materials, pipe and cover materials must be located with the purpose of the support machi

Construction Industry Recruits Women - 1 views

  •  
    Seldom do we see women in a construction site. Since the industry requires every aspect of manual labor, women, who are always considered physically weaker than men, seemed not fit for the job. Gender diversity is not usual in the workplace with women only occupying 11% of the whole construction employees' population, most of whom are employed for administrative task, working behind the desk and in-charge of data organization. Sexism is one of the main reasons for the low number of women hiring in construction industry. Axis Capital Group, a company which sells and rents quality equipment, states that both of their offices in Singapore and Jakarta, Indonesia has high attrition rate of female workers. Aside from family and risk issues that women need to adhere to as the reason for their resignation, some have complaints of worse treatment experience regarding the distribution of work or promotion opportunities. Today's bigger challenge is to educate the next generation that the industry is not one-gendered. Similar manual careers also have the same gender proportion problems. Analysts have concluded that the issue is one of the main reasons why there are also a low number of laborers and workers in the field. Construction industry is taking the warning of the lessening number of individuals interested to work in the sector at a more serious level. A person's gender is no longer important when hiring as long as he or she can do the job and has the qualification to do so. Moreover, the industry is already recognizing women attributes which can help in the betterment of the projects. With an industry struggling to find workers, the insights are worth reviewing for contractors. 1. Learning ability When it comes to training, women don't take anything for granted. In our culture it's sometimes assumed that all men have a certain mastery of mac

Wood and Timber in Construction - 1 views

  •  
    Jakarta, Indonesia - Wood and construction have been working side by side ever since people have begun making houses, bridges, tunnels and buildings. Lumber or timber is wood in any of its stages from felling through readiness for use as structural material for construction, or wood pulp for paper production. Lumber is supplied either rough or finished. Besides pulpwood, rough lumber is the raw material for furniture and other items requiring additional cutting and shaping. Forestry is the art and science of tree resources, including plantations and natural stands. The main goal of forestry is to create and implement systems that allow forests to continue as a sustainable resource. The challenge of forestry is to create systems that are socially accepted while sustaining the resource and any other resources that might be affected. Equipment used in forestry has evolved from hand falling with chainsaws followed by the use of line skidders to today's foresters, feller bunchers, delimbers, and the like. Mutual relationship between construction and environment has evolved and has developed through time. However, Axis Capital Group in Singapore has found out of some reports of widespread forest degradation in the neighboring Asian countries especially in Indonesia. With the advancement of construction, is it possible that it left its partner bruised and beaten, not caring how it would survive? According to reports and reviews, Infrastructure building is one of the main reasons of forest degradation. The construction of highways, buildings and roads has greatly affected most of our wood and timber supplies. Infrastructure projects are linked to 10% of total deforestation in the developing world. Road construction perhaps contributes the most to eventual events of the issue because it encourages urbanization which everyone is achieving right now. Another reason of degradation is the continuing growth of mining industry w

Axis Capital Group: Projecting Maintenance on Heavy Equipment - 2 views

  •  
    Nowadays we have smartphones, smart cars, smart buildings, smart grids, and smart meters, and we're starting to perceive smart tractors, loaders, spreaders, and grader and because of this, we can say that the smart age is here in earnest. Together, what these smart-age technologies stand is promise. For construction professionals, they may be yet attempting to find out how to place all of the pieces together for your organization. This basically denotes putting technologies in place to monitor and run important plant, property, and equipment. The test is to put this information to use in a method that openly impacts your bottom-line. As the long revival from the recession starts, companies are fixated on prolonging the life of the expensive capital equipment deprived of experiencing unintended stoppage and disruptions to their operations. This makes service and maintenance a serious element of lengthening the life of important equipment. For the several construction and leasing companies, this entails a greater must to work keener in order to match.
