At Pepper, we believe that our client's projects represent the future. They provide us the opportunity to find new ways to deliver services, chart new paths for communities and serve as the starting point for inspiring relationships. We are singularly focused on delivering the best results for our clients, and we do that by understanding our customers' needs and aligning our expertise to build a better project.
In 2015, the construction industry experienced an accelerated pace of progress in innovative technologies and evolving construction methodologies. Years ago, building information modeling (BIM) changed how we deliver our services. Today, we're using it to enable higher levels of collaboration and integration. Our teams are at the forefront of applying and developing technologies - from virtual and augmented reality to quality and sustainable practices that drive improvements in a variety of delivery models.
These tools have the potential to not only change how we visualize and plan, but also the way we respond in real time to design and construction decisions. We are expanding the conversation to consider total lifecycle costs of a building instead of limiting our consideration to construction costs. This enables our customers to make informed decisions with a view towards a longer-term horizon, before we ever break ground.
While new technologies have the power to open new doors, success is dependent on the talented people who put the tools to work. Today, our seasoned thought leaders are joined by a new generation of builders who are learning the values and craftsmanship that have earned our company a reputation for high-quality construction and relationship-driven solutions.
We look forward to what 2016 holds for our company and our industry, and we are grateful for our clients, industry partners and subcontractors for their partnership and collaboration along the way.
