Meanwhile, 'TFLM Ltd' (Transport for London) has for the second consectutive Period scaled the leaderbaord with another 23% improvment.

As is usual with Period 6, there have been some stormy movements in the leader board. 'TEAM 3' from AtkinsRéalis Ireland and 'Cant Engineer Group (CEG)' take on the top 2 spots, after 'Construction Cheetahs' (AtkinsRéalis India) slip to third.

As the teams settle into their strategies, its important to remember that their are many decisions to get right. Make sure that you make enough estimating effort to give an estimate you can have confidence in. If you're not winning your bids it's because you're not competitive, your margins may be too ambitions but these need to be added to a sound estimate. If the estimate isn't sound it may be too high and uncompetitive, it may be too low and unrealistic, so you need adequate estimating effort. Also watch the relationship between turnover and capital. If your turnover is low your capital isn't working hard enough. There may be better things you can do with your capital.

Who will best traverse the storm is anyone's guess, as it's still wide open.

The 34th edition of MERIT has launched, as construction organisations from around the globe field their best and brightest in the race to become MERIT 2024 Champions.

The hours of trialling and discussions on strategy will now come in to play as the next 7 weeks see risers and fallers in the overall league table.

AtkinsRéalis India's 'Construction Cheetahs' are the early pacemakers with an emphatic 39% rise in performance, giving them pole position on a score of 1386. TEAM 3 (AtkinsRéalis Ireland) enter in second place, followed by 'Cant Engineer Group (CEG)' in third, and 'Digbeth Drip Detectives' (AtkinsRéalis) in fourth.

However this is just the start of the process and there is still lots of time to review your position, refine your tactics, and consolidate your momentum, without going too fast too soon!

Looking forward to next week!
