#EmployeeOwnership quote of the week: “We liked it because it aligned with our values. It was a gracious way to #transition from a few owners to essentially the entire firm. Anybody that’s here for a year starts to accrue shares and #value in the firm. It encourages people, maybe more than other architecture firms, to really understand the business side of the practice of #architecture and be more informed in their decision-making. -Laura Lesniewski, FAIA, LEED AP, WELL AP, BNIM #KansasCity adds another #ESOP! #MOreEmployeeOwnership #Missouri https://lnkd.in/g9Wcq2NX

Using all available data and AI to correctly price is nowadays an absolute must. Real Estate was one of the few industries still relying mostly on the expert knowledge of people responsible for pricing. This is changing and BuiltMind is bringing a deep-tech AI-based tool that brings higher total revenues from all units sold and better alignment of sales of individual units with the requirement of the financing banks. The new partnership with Cushman & Wakefield is proof of the right journey Martin Decky is taking with BuiltMind to transform pricing in the real estate industry 👏 . #realestate #AI #pricing #technology #innovation #data #analytics #sales #marketing #proptech #BuiltMind #CushmanWakefield #realestatepricing #AIpricing #propertypricing #realestateAI #realestatedata #realestateanalytics #AIrevolution #AItransformation #global #commercialrealestate #residentialrealestate #development #investment #brokerage #propertymanagement

STEENBERG GROUP TAKES STAKE IN CAPTIF Steenberg Group expands its activities significantly and takes a stake in Captif. In order to respond more effectively to customer demand for its subsidiary @Structura.biz, the Steenberg Group had been looking to expand for some time. This has now been achieved through the acquisition of Antwerp-based CAPTIF Office Architects. Whereas until recently the support of Structura.biz's clients stopped after a property transaction, now a complete design & build process can be offered following the lease agreement, or after the purchase. Here, the client is relieved of all concerns until the moment he occupies the new premises. Klara De Neve and Dimitri Saerens, directors of Group Steenberg, consider this step a logical extension of Structura.biz's services. “Whereas previously we had to refer our customers to the market with their furnishing questions, we can now reassure them of the same service within our own group,” says Dimitri. “The three aspects of customer demand, being analysis (VEQTOR), real estate supply (Structura.biz) and fit-out (Captif), are thus clearly distinguished. At the same time, the individual companies continue to work independently,” Klara adds, “because not every customer needs the whole package.” To ensure that all this is perfectly harmonized from an operational point of view, Partner Ann Verresen's role is also changing.  She will thus become co-CEO at Captif, together with current CEO Bert Bleyenbergh. After the acquisition, the 3 other founders will also remain on board as minority shareholders. At Structura.biz, Ann will be handing over the reins to Bert Cuyt (Head of Offices) and Alexandre Parmentier (Head of Industry), who will work in tandem on day-to-day management. The 3 sister companies will reinforce and complement each other depending on the specific needs of the customer. The trajectory should not only be linear, but thanks to the mutual enrichment, knowledge and services can be shared between the different companies, which continue to work independently.  The local anchoring is seen as a major asset, in a market where international players want to take the lead. The transaction was conducted by Deloitte and Finpa. Press release : https://lnkd.in/edriD-g6

Poor architectural decisions can have lasting repercussions for organizations. Remedying them later is more expensive and can impact your ability to scale with the business. It's essential to carefully consider trade-offs and avoid cutting corners when making architectural choices.
