CSO Perspective: Why I'm doing this
Why supporting the construction and development industry is my goal
Who we are
The construction industry is a vast network of creators, craftspeople and thinkers. They're able to transform a space into something that's not only useful, but can be quite beautiful as well. Everyone from City Planners, to electricians and builders, to designers and architects play a critical role in this ecosystem.
Construction is complex
Being in this industry for the past 14 years, I've been painfully aware of the many areas of opportunity we have to change things for the better. For one, municipal codes are hard. Every year over $238 billion dollars are spent resolving issues due to changing codes, which is over 11% of total build costs! These costs either directly impact the bottom line or are passed to the customer, which can stop a project in its tracks.
The industry has tried everything to address this problem - from manually collecting information and constantly gardening it, to purchasing (potentially stale) data and hoping for the best, to the age-old “just submit and see what happens.” We need a better solution.
Enter, Fordje
This is why I’m here - to continue to support an industry and community that I respect. Whether you’re building homes, or pushing for electrification, or anything in-between, the Fordje team and I want to help you reach your goals.
