“Scaffolding” is a term that engineering professionals are familiar with and cannot be more familiar with. With the auxiliary platform provided by scaffolding, towering buildings can rise from the ground. Similarly, cost engineers need to learn to set up scaffolding for themselves, gradually iterate, and have better work opportunities, positions, and platforms. This may be the aspiration of every cost engineer..
How to promote the implementation of aspirations? Step by step, set up your own scaffolding to truly gain something. Here are three short stories that may inspire us..
Young student A is responsible for cost management in the construction of a comprehensive tertiary hospital. Due to the professionalism of hospital construction and the rapid development in recent years, professional talents are in short supply. In the infrastructure team where student A works, no member has participated in the construction of such a large-scale hospital building from start to finish, and there is a lack of practical experts. Relying solely on theoretical knowledge reading and understanding, it is obvious that they will take a detour..
A student attended a medical conference and listened to the Director of the Infrastructure Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, a director with over 20 years of hospital construction experience, sharing the theme of purification engineering..
At the end of the sharing, student A mustered up courage, shamelessly, and with an extremely respectful and humble attitude, walked to the podium and expressed his intention to ask for the contact information of the director. At that time, there was no WeChat, after all, the phone was a very easy way to disturb. Perhaps being sincerely moved, the director hesitated for a moment and still left his own phone number..
Next, because there are many professional project evaluations and evaluations in hospital construction, I am very eager to find experienced professionals who can accurately match and provide forward-looking and constructive opinions to avoid pitfalls. A student thought of the contact information left by the Director of Xiehe Infrastructure, so he sent a text message to contact Director Zhou of Xiehe. Of course, the text message was sent after repeated wording modifications. Unexpectedly, Director Zhou was able to spare time to attend the review on the construction site and provide very valuable suggestions..
During Director Zhou’s participation in the on-site evaluation of the construction site, A provided thoughtful and attentive service, received and guided the team, and repeatedly expressed gratitude to the director for participating in the evaluation and providing valuable suggestions. As a result, they had the opportunity for further communication. After a few exchanges, they became familiar with each other. On the one hand, for A, he unintentionally chatted with the director and learned about some issues in infrastructure construction, Expanding one’s knowledge and experience accumulation, on the other hand, if there are difficulties in the project, the project leader will seek advice from Director Zhou from student A, so in the infrastructure team, student A has added the label of “having network resources”..
A classmate told us that setting up scaffolding is about connecting professional experts.
Through the guidance of experts, it will help you and the projects you serve to avoid detours. How can you meet influential people?.
Firstly, it is important to recognize that “meeting a benefactor” is not luck, but rather an ability. Without resources, seeking opportunities and disregarding face can be achieved by everyone..
Secondly, after connecting with expert experts, we need to constantly provide feedback to strengthen and extend this connection. In fact, there is no shortage of professional experts around us, observe carefully, establish connections, and keep getting closer..
Most of the work is focused on repetitive content, but overall.
