Flanagan has done it again. The multidisciplinary firm — which spans civil engineering, surveying and MEP — has landed on the Zweig Group’s Best Firm to Work For list for a second consecutive year, ranking #4 in its size category and #7 among multidisciplinary firms nationally. For most firms, one appearance on the list is cause for celebration. Two in a row raises a different question: what is Flanagan actually doing that other firms aren’t?  According to Managing Member Reese Flanagan, the answer isn’t a perk, a policy or a program. it’s about paying attention.   Behind The Scenes   “If I had to point to one behind-the-scenes practice driving our success, it’s taking the time to understand what motivates each person and helping them build a career around that,” Flanagan said. “Happiness at work is about more than money. Some people value flexibility, some want growth opportunities and others want more balance between work and family.”  While t...

Acquisition provides one view into every source of project data, delivering the context needed for reliable answers BOSTON  —  Newforma , the leading project and information management company for architecture, engineering, construction and owner (AECO) firms, today announced it has acquired  Lumi AI , a Toronto company whose analytics engine turns plain-language questions into accurate, explainable answers. According to Newforma, AI used to inform project decisions should meet three tests. Answers must be explainable, so the reasoning is visible. They must be verifiable against the source data, so they can be checked. And they must be accurate enough to act on, because on a live project a decision carries liability. Lumi built its engine around those tests. It asks clarifying questions when a prompt is vague, shows the logic behind every answer, and proactively flags data quality problems when it finds them. Architecture and engineering firms hold years of project history...
