Continuing on with the "Single Source Solutions" column from page 26 on game day, the winning team will most likely be made up of a few good, ordinary employees. In the building industry, superstars are seldom found. Instead, what makes for business success is teamwork by a group of ordinary people who have been educated and trained to perform as an integral part of the team.
And who makes up the team? In the case of a design-build-facility management (D-B-FM) project, the obvious positions are the project manager, design engineer, and estimator. Those not often perceived as part of a winning job are the administrative help, accounting, CAD operators, designers, pipe fitters, foreman, etc. Often, these positions go without notice and/or due recognition while these individuals accept their behind-the-scene role. They are the true team players.
