“Projects, in my view, continue to grow in scale. They [also] continue to grow in complexity. The expectations of customers rightly continue to grow in terms of not just the what, but how projects get delivered.” ⬆️ That's Darren Mort, Bechtel's president of Infrastructure, in a recent interview with Construction Briefing — Darren breaks down why too many infrastructure projects can be set up for failure before the work even begins, and what disciplined execution actually looks like.
