As hospitality projects continue to grow in complexity, strong leadership starts long before construction begins.
BPGS Construction's Ivi Kusta, Director of Hospitality Development and Construction, was recently featured in Construction Tech Review as part of its Leadership Perspectives series, a forum highlighting industry leaders shaping the future of construction.
In the article, Ivi shares her approach to balancing cost, risk and quality, reducing change orders through early project alignment and fostering collaboration between owners, designers and contractors from day one. She also discusses how leveraging data and technology throughout the development lifecycle leads to better decision-making, while emphasizing that "development teams should challenge assumptions, identify conflicts and evaluate alternatives before documents reach the field."
"At BPGS Construction and Development Services, we have worked on 50+ hotels from independent to Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, Virgin, etc. and we have witnessed a fundamental shift in what owners require from their development partners."
Congratulations to Ivi on this well-deserved recognition and for representing BPGS Construction and our team with expertise, leadership and a forward-thinking approach to the industry.
