How to Hire Good Building Construction Executives?
Posted on Monday, December 12th, 2016 at 6:40 am
Finding the right building construction executive is a time consuming and delicate process. First, you identify the right candidate from a large pool of candidate; then you find whether your needs and goals are aligned or not. And finally, you offer the candidate a good pay package. It isn’t that smooth as it sounds. There are a lot of factors to consider before you take a final decision.
A proper hiring process for construction executives involves a lot of steps. This includes:
1. Determine What you want
Before you hire building construction executives, determine the missions and goals that you want your new executive to accomplish. Review your plans and targets and find out which tasks can be fulfilled without hiring a new executive. Afterward, match the goals in your plan with the expectations that you’ll be having with your new executive. This helps you narrow down your choices and recruit only those with just the right skills.
2. Create a Roadmap
Start your recruitment process early. Learn the industry scenario. For instance, find out what other people in similar positions are like. Develop a list of attributes, a priority list and understand the job scenario. Also, understand what attracts a candidate to your position or what is making them leave their positions. Get firm hold of the entire hiring process.
3. Weigh intelligence
Make efforts to ascertain the intelligence that the candidate will be bringing on the table once you hire them. Intelligence is one of the most important variables in deciding the success and failure of a construction executive. Intelligence helps a construction executive make right decisions, remove hurdles, and maximize opportunities. The best way to judge intelligence is to ask the candidates for a problem that your business faces. Their recommendations will expose their thought-process and their strength and weaknesses.
4. Hire construction recruitment services
This is one of the best ways to hire the right candidate. Good construction recruitment services (like us) are industry insiders and have access to a wide pool of talents. Since they are a specialist in hiring process, they are well aware of your requirements and know how to locate the right talents.

Principal Real Estate Investors’ Strategy for Commercial Real Estate
Posted on Monday, January 12th, 2015 at 7:04 am
A prominent institutional real estate manager in the U.S. has released its strategy for commercial real estate. This annual strategy outlook report provides a detailed insight into the key themes that are expected to be responsible for driving the commercial real estate market of the United States in 2015. The details also include continued monetary policy and stronger economic growth.
Report Details:
A few areas of interest that will benefit commercial real estate investors in the year 2015 include the following:
‘Extra Innings’ Entry for Capital Markets- In the coming year the commercial real estate investors will be able to make the most of capital market’s ‘extra innings’ with the yield curve growing flatter in support of current cap rates, even as the Treasury yield curve’s long end remains bound in some way or the other. Also, if the space market fundamentals happen to remain strong, the cap rates must also stay stabilized or modestly compress according to the type of property/market (as and where applicable). It is also necessary for commercial real estate’s risk-premia expectations to remain stable.
Four Quadrant Strategy Highly Recommended- Underneath the base case economic scenario of the investor, its four quadrant strategy has been designed to be modestly biased towards subordinate debt (that is focused on those markets that are still in early recovery stages) and value-add private real estate equity (that is focused on those job growth markets that are stronger), giving proxy for ‘growth’. When the investor refers to property type, it is actually favoring industrial and office as well as high-end or luxury oriented retail for delivering above-average net operating ‘income growth’. The core real estate that is moderately leveraged also needs to perform well even as the upward pressure on low interest rates and cap rates is limited.
Defensive and Offensive Moves by Investors- Commercial real estate investors should aim at increasing the same-store rent growth, despite the fact that the capital market environment is more favorable. Only then can the investors make profit from the improving economic conditions, or protect themselves in case the cap rates rise, reducing drawdown in value.
Conclusion:
Finally, the report ends with this note: “After nearly five years since the end of the global financial crisis, the U.S. economy appears to be heading towards a modest period of escape velocity growth in 2015. The winding down of quantitative easing by the Fed also suggests its growing comfort with the economic outlook. For real estate investors this likely means that a remarkable period of central bank aided performance is coming to an end, with the baton of growth transferring from the capital markets to the space markets. The timing for such a transition could work out well, with demand firming and expected to accelerate across most property types, and a capital market environment that is still expected to remain supportive”.
