Multivista Looks to Capture New Jersey’s Renaissance

Visual construction documentation firm, Multivista, opens a new location in northern New Jersey to support the boom of construction development along the Hudson River

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) August 03, 2017

Multivista has brought its pictures over interactive floorplans to northern New Jersey due to the booming development occurring along the Hudson River.

Veteran franchise owners—Joe Ferro and Michael Niswender— have extensive history servicing New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and now, New Jersey. Since 2008, Ferro and Niswender’s local “boots on the ground” team have captured and serviced more than 850 construction projects in the Northeast.

“Jersey City is ripe with development as well as cities like Hoboken and Weehawken along the Hudson. This area has been dubbed the Gold Coast because of the amount of occurring and proposed development,” says Niswender. “Since New York City has maxed out for new areas to build, New Jersey will be the next growth boom as a suburb of the city.”

Over the past decade, Millennials have flocked to cities, but with rent in Manhattan and Brooklyn surging, younger generations are looking to New Jersey as their new residence due to the proximity to New York City and the mass transportation options available.

With the growing demand and generous tax incentives, developers are rushing to build— 6,000 units of housing are currently under construction, and another 18,000 have been approved. On the Hudson River waterfront, between Fort Lee and Bayonne alone, there are over thirty residential construction projects currently in progress, one looking to be the tallest high-rise in the Garden State.

Although the market has increased from 12,421 permits for new residential buildings issued in 2009 to 28,119 in 2014, this number is still drastically less than what the state saw a decade ago, before the market crash. Developers believe the amount of new construction will keep pace with the growing demand, ensuring not to be as reckless as it was leading up to The Great Recession. Those developers are now leveraging advancing technology and construction software, like Multivista, to stretch their investment dollars further.

Multivista photo documentation, “provides ‘a forever set of eyes’ behind the walls and ceilings, and below the slabs, that help prevent shoddy workmanship requiring expensive rework and the lengthy lawsuits that accompany it,” stated Ferro.

Ferro and Niswender are currently offering Multivista’s full-suite of visual construction documentation options throughout their region, including the company’s most requested offering—MEP Exact Built, which captures inspection-grade images of the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, while they are still exposed, in the critical post-inspection phase. The institutional memory that this visual documentation creates has been proven to reduce the cost of construction and mitigate the inherent risk that accompanies any project.

For more information, please contact Nick Schooley, Multivista New Jersey, at 607-423-2973.

  • Multivista, part of Hexagon AB, has been contracted on over 2 billion square feet of construction projects worldwide and is trusted by the industry’s leading companies to mitigate risk, create efficiencies, and deliver a higher level of project insight throughout a building’s lifecycle.

Multivista offers a full suite of visual construction documentation services on an intuitive cloud-based website platform with local boots-on-the-ground support in over 70 international markets. Along with streaming webcams, professional facility management videos, and virtual walkthroughs, the company delivers interactive as-builts by linking inspection-grade photos to architectural plans to capture every project with exceptional clarity.

Up-and-Coming Vacation Rental Platforms Surge as Summer Heats Up

0

Vacayrx: While changes continue on the largest listing platforms, new start-ups are springing up to address user pain points.

(PRWEB) August 03, 2017

Summer is in full swing and the vacation rental industry is busy with its seasonal travel rush. However, beneath the surface remains turmoil as the industry writhes with the changes forced upon it by the largest listing platforms.

In the past twelve months property owners and managers have watched “Direct Bookings” evolve from an option, to a suggestion, to a mandatory requirement. Phone numbers have disappeared, emails and links have been redacted from in-platform messaging, and whispers percentage based listing fees are now in the air.

Although many property owners and managers are taking to the web to voice their dissatisfaction, concern, and frustrations with such changes; the changing landscape is providing opportunities for up-and-coming vacation rental platforms.

Take vacayrx.com for example. The small, Jackson Hole, WY based start-up has recently rocketed past 1,000 live property listings and boasts properties in more than 30 US States. The majority of such listings belong to small-to-mid sized property managers throughout the country, and are largely a result of growing fears that property management services will be hindered by the lack of direct communication between managers and prospective guests pre-booking.

For high-touch property managers, such fears are justified, as the preclusion of phone calls and direct emails pre-booking can result in higher risks of damage, theft, and neighborhood disruption. While some users remain optimistic that these risks are minimal, the reality remains that the elimination of such communication makes guest screening nearly impossible.

Property managers are most likely to bear the brunt of these changes as guest screening is one of the services promised to the homeowners who entrust them with access to their homes. Problem guests that are not sniffed out in advance have proven to be extremely damaging to the reputation of management companies and horror stories of raucous parties and neighborhood degradation can lead to reduced property counts, bad reputations, and lost income.

While the large corporations who dominate the industry have turned a blind-eye to such concerns, companies like Vacayrx have gone against the grain and are beginning to reap some of the reward. “We believe that guest screening can only be achieved through direct owner/manager communication with guests pre-booking” a spokesman from Vacayrx stated. “It’s not just about the screening, it’s about providing service early on in the booking experience. Many property managers feel that the experience they offer to guests begins with the first phone call. This is an opportunity to set expectations, ensure that a home is the right fit for a specific guest’s needs, and ask questions to ensure that a guest can be properly accommodated.”

While the industry giants have suggested that instant gratification of bookings is a priority for guests, the fact remains that many guests are allured by the thought of a more personal experience in a vacation rental than that of a hotel.

“The fundamental difference for guests between a vacation rental and a hotel is that if you want a continental breakfast and a newspaper then clicking a button to book is sufficient. If you want to know that a property has two boogie boards, beach towels for the entire family, a downstairs bedroom for grandma, and a fantastic pastry shop around the corner--then you want to talk to someone.”

The CRM benefits from having the entire suite of data visualizations including time to respond to leads, weekly call activity, lead responses/conversion, and call duration. Additionally, the VirtualPBX Desktop Softphone benefits from this integration by being able to click-to-call contacts directly out of a salesperson’s CRM window.

Historic Bridge in Tamaqua, PA Receives Award-Winning Makeover with the Help of Structural Precast Concrete

0

Design flexibility of precast components solves structural deficiency issues while maintaining design of original structure.

Lancaster, PA (PRWEB) August 03, 2017

A major rehab project on a historic bridge in Tamaqua, PA relied on the use of structural precast concrete to solve structural deficiency issues while maintaining the historic design and integrity of the original structure. Northeast Precast was the precast partner for this project, which earned industry accolades from the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI). Northeast Precast is located in Cressona, PA and is a producer member of the Mid-Atlantic Precast Association (MAPA).

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The charming, masonry arch bridge in Tamaqua was identified for the rehab project due mainly to the condition of the existing sidewalks. According to inspectors, the original stone masonry core was determined worthy of rehabilitation, but the retrofitted sidewalk structures were beyond repair. It was also determined that the original stone arch core was a contributing element to both national and local historic districts. This designation necessitated the involvement of consulting parties in the project design, including the local Historical and Architectural Review Commission (HARC), which oversaw the design concept and provided input.

Because of the bridge’s historical significance, the project team had to devise a way to replace the existing dilapidated sidewalk structures with a new system that was worthy of standing next to a thoroughly-restored stone masonry arch from the 1890s, shared Paul J. Rea, senior associate with Ammann & Whitney, the project engineer. For this reason, Rea and his team chose a precast concrete solution.

“The design flexibility provided by precast concrete allowed us to develop a system that was fully functional and simple to construct, yet aesthetically pleasing and complimentary to the historic stone masonry arch,” added Rea.

PRECAST SOLUTION

The structural system included prestressed, haunched concrete beams as the main focal point of the proposed new sidewalk structure. Arched variable depth shapes allow for a long-span look that complements the adjacent stone arches while exposing as much of the historic arch as possible. Earthy tones were chosen for the precast concrete pieces to blend naturally with the original stone masonry.

The use of precast concrete also enabled the structure to achieve continuous action for live loads and superimposed dead loads, while allowing for shorter beams to facilitate delivery and erection in a tight urban setting.

Rea shared, “The ability to customize precast concrete to certain project specific requirements allowed us to tailor a special solution to address all of the aesthetic demands and geometric complexities inherent to this out-of-the-box project.”

One of the most innovative features of the project was a scheme to allow the prestressed concrete beams to pass over the dry stack retaining walls and be supported on a solid, integral abutment while creating a faux concrete seat and end diaphragm at the dry stack wall to give the appearance that the beams were supported there with part of the wall all along. “The members of the HARC and the Museum Commission really loved this approach, since it looks historic while meeting current design standards,” Rea said.

Stakeholders were pleased with how the project turned out. “We set out to develop a restoration design that would rehabilitate the stone masonry arches while replacing the sidewalks with a new system that complemented and honored the bridge’s historic arch core,” he said. “With the use of precast concrete as part of the solution, I believe we accomplished that goal.”

PROJECT AT-A-GLANCE

Location: Tamaqua, PA

Precaster: Northeast Precast, LLC (Cressona, PA)

Owner: PA Dept of Transportation District 5-0 (Allentown, PA)

Engineer: Ammann & Whitney (Philadelphia, PA)

How Singapore’s Gig Economy is Disrupting the Labour Workforce and Improving Businesses’ Bottom-lines

Disruptive innovations continue to have a rippling effect across various industries, and the rise of gig work is one example of such that is being felt in Singapore today. MyWork Global comments on this growing trend, and tries to address an important question for businesses and jobseekers alike – would the gig economy create opportunities for economic growth in Singapore or stifle it?

Singapore (PRWEB) August 03, 2017

In 2010, a research led by Emergent Research and Intuit examined the range of demographic, economic, social, and technological shifts affecting and changing the way we live and operate globally. One of the research’ predictions, “a world where gig work is as common as traditional employment”, has become a reality and is having a rippling effect across almost every industry. This trend is now more commonly known as the Gig Economy.

Recent studies conducted by Accenture, Microsoft, and UpWork, provide supporting data on how the Gig Economy trend has been growing steadily in the last 7 years. A 2014 study by Oxford Economics showed that “83% of executives surveyed say they are increasingly using consultants, intermittent employees, and contingent workers.”

In Singapore, the results of a recent 2017 Graduate Employment Survey conducted by the Ministry of Education, supports this rising trend, showing a higher proportion of people taking on temporary jobs or gig work instead of permanent full-time ones after graduating.

The rise of gig work and its disruptive innovations continue to have a rippling effect across various industries, resulting to businesses and jobs evolving at a faster rate. An important question for businesses is, would these disruptions create opportunities for economic growth in Singapore or stifle it?

Executives ranked that the “lack of adequate leadership” willing to embrace the trend, as well as the “lack of adequate technology” to implement, are the top two impediments to adapting into the Gig Economy. Despite the obvious benefits and the increasing number of primary (full-time) and secondary (part-time) gig workers in Singapore, businesses have been slow to make the transition.

The long-established tasks of job posting, applicant screening, matching, hiring, done by recruitment agencies and online recruiting platforms are time-consuming, impractical, and costly for gig work. These traditional platforms also do not provide a way to monitor work output in real-time, especially with work that needs to be done locally. On top of these hurdles, Singapore businesses have a unique need of tapping into a specific labour niche, that of Singaporeans and Permanent Residents (PR).

In SBF’s National Business Survey 2016/17, respondents nominated high operating costs (68%) and manpower issues (66%) as two of the biggest challenges they face in doing business. Manpower issues were broken down further as: rising labour costs, manpower rules and regulations, attracting and retaining younger workers.

Lawyer and Entrepreneur Rebecca Chiu saw these challenges, and in 2016 decided to establish MyWork Global with the aim of creating a platform that would aid businesses in Singapore that want to make the Gig Economy transition. Last April 2017, MyWork Global launched its mywork app. To date, the app now has over 50,000 verified Singaporeans and PR gig workers that businesses hire for ad-hoc tasks via their smartphone.

The rising Gig Economy trend, along with the release of the mywork app, has the potential to address Singapore’s labour shortage and cost. Accenture’s research highlights that having an ad-hoc workforce “delivered results faster and at lower cost than with conventional methods 60% of the time”. An ad-hoc workforce is not only more efficient and cost-effective, but also grants organizations the ability to change rapidly, adapt, and even innovate in ways that were not possible before.

As aptly put by Rebecca Chiu, “The primary benefit of the Gig Economy to both employers and jobseekers is flexibility, which has a direct influence on overhead costs – but it comes at the expense and risk of stability. The Gig Economy, together with MyWork, mitigates these risks to stability.”

mywork app provided solutions by implementing the following features:

*Hire Staff On-Demand – Post a job in seconds, hire workers in minutes. The app automatically matches your post with available and qualified applicants.

*GPS Timesheet Tracking – Automated tracking of workers’ shift timings and payments.

*Payslip Generator – Generate MOM-Compliant payslips every month end, inclusive of CPF computations.

*Team Access – Provide controlled access for your team members who can help you manage and hire workers.

*Reviews and Ratings - Our feedback system ensures performance standards are maintained by the whole community.

**Shift Scheduling – A soon-to-be-released feature allowing employers to build a complete work schedule in just a few taps with estimated labour costs.

MyWork Global has the current top Gig Economy app in Singapore due to its fast growing number of gig workers and holistic management features. Singapore-based businesses interested to get acclimated with the app and immediately cut labour expenses can schedule a free demo though MyWork’s website myworkglobal.com, email at hello (at) myworkglobal (dot) com or call +(65) 6493 2133.

The future of work, the Gig Economy, has arrived in Singapore and early adopters are reaping the benefits. Businesses must embrace disruptive technological innovations, in order to remain efficient, competitive, relevant, and to address the labour shortage which may be the biggest challenge for Singapore’s economic growth.

TerraGo Magic now offers new features including laser range finder integration, navigation, guidance and proximity alerts that can be instantly added to any customer app and are also immediately available with TerraGo Edge on iOS and Android

Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) August 03, 2017

TerraGo announces today the availability of new features in TerraGo Magic including laser range finder integration, offset data capture, Apple® & Google® turn-by-turn navigation, proximity alerts as well as extended waypoint guidance for finding off-road assets and infrastructure.

TerraGo Magic is a zero-code platform-as-a-service that enables customers to build their own custom mobile apps without writing any code by choosing from a menu of available, field-tested features. TerraGo Magic is also the underlying platform used to build TerraGo Edge, which includes these latest features in version 4.1, available for download from the iTunes App Store and Google Play.

“With the addition of laser positioning and offsets for remote data collection, TerraGo helps us rapidly capture high-accuracy data for more assets and infrastructure, even those in difficult to reach locations,” said Fernando Mutia, IS Supervisor, San Jose Water Company. “By integrating Laser Technology’s TruPulse® laser range finders, the field user no longer needs to physically occupy the position of the asset but can capture all the information remotely on an iPad®, which is not only imperative for challenging terrain but also accelerates and improves data collection work by minimizing personnel movements, saving time and money.”

“With TerraGo Magic, we totally change the traditional way of thinking about how custom mobile app versions get built, released and upgraded. When we publish a new feature in Magic, it’s immediately available to all customer apps but doesn’t force it on all customers or require an upgrade beyond their control,” said Dave Basil, Vice President of Product Development at TerraGo. “With TerraGo Magic’s platform-as-a-service, customers can evaluate and include features based on their priorities, timeline, business requirements and users’ needs, giving them the flexibility and control of a custom solution – without the cost of custom app development.”

Benchmarking of Brand Value for Sponsors Across Entire League Utilizes Advanced Computer Vision

Santa Monica, California (PRWEB) August 03, 2017

GumGum Sports, the leader in sports media valuation using computer vision technology, today announced “Beyond the Broadcast™” - a valuation index for current and prospective sponsors during the 2017-2018 NBA season. The index will offer NBA sponsors a better understanding of the value assets (including jersey sponsors, as well as current assets in games) seen across team-owned social media are driving within the league. The NBA benchmark data will be layered into the comprehensive media valuations GumGum Sports performs for rights holders and brand clients, who also receive reporting on the enormous incremental value driven by non-team owned accounts. To receive a copy of the index, visit gumgum.com/nba

“We chose the NBA because it is the leading edge in terms of sports leagues with social media. The NBA fosters a healthy content syndication ecosystem where 70-90% of an NBA team’s sponsorship media exposure comes from non-team owned accounts,” said Jeff Katz, General Manager of GumGum Sports. Brands are getting more sophisticated and want to ensure media valuations are comprehensive, actionable and based on a rigorous methodology. “Our Beyond the Broadcast” index breaks out value by signage location and scores each brand exposure based on six factors, going the extra mile compared to other solutions on the market which only offer limited visibility into data.”

GumGum Sports social media solution provides the only pure universal and global view of valuation in today’s measurement market through the ability to track all team and non-team owned accounts. These insights provide an increased understanding of holistic value for key stakeholders within the NBA - teams, brands and agencies.

GumGum Sports already provides media valuation services across the NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, EPL, MMA as well as Stadium, a new, first-of-its-kind multi-platform sports network. Using advanced computer vision technology (not just logo detection) GumGum Sports scans both team-owned and non-owned accounts throughout the long tail of social media and provides social media valuation metrics by sponsor location.
