Piety Group is also focused on “adding innovation to the business,” and “being progressive in nature.” In order to do that, they have started a focus group to evaluate new strategies, technologies and materials. For example, the company is currently looking at using carbonneutral concreteon their upcoming next project. They are also looking at technology that will allow them to test concrete strength through temperature monitoring via heat sensors embedded in the slabs, instead of relying on the old-fashioned cylinder break tests. If that method works, and the engineers approve, they could potentially save a lot of time on site. “Those are the kind of things we’re open to,” Lloyd explains. “We’re looking ahead. We’re evaluating new products and technologies. We believe it’s important to investigate and see what’s out there.” “We’re no longer the kind of builder that goes ‘We’ve always done it this way, so this is the way we’ll always do it,’” he adds. “If there’s a better way, then then we will look into it. That’s the culture we’re establishing here.” NOVEMBER 2021
