Alan Greenspan, the former chairman of the Federal Reserve, is not ideally placed to opine on the threat posed by asset bubbles in financial markets. This is, after all, the central banker who is widely blamed for having sewn the seeds of the 2008 global financial crisis by refusing to prick the US housing bubble which triggered the crash. Yet Greenspan’s words still carry a lot of weight with market commentators and investors. So when he warned in an interview on Tuesday that “we... Reported by S.China Morning Post 4 hours ago.

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.

Outsourcer Serco's shares were on the rise this morning as the FTSE 250-listed company held its nerve on full-year predictions.

*The figures*

Underlying trading profit fell *30 per cent* to *£35.3m *in the six months to the end of June, from *£50.6m* during the same period last year.

Revenues edged down *0.5 per cent* to *£1.51bn*, from *£1.52bn *the year before, although they beat expectations of *£1.48bn*. 

Meanwhile, order intake increased to *£2.4bn* from *£900m* the year before, including the company's largest ever contract, a *£1.5bn *deal to operate Grafton prison in Australia. That pushed its order intake over the past 12 months to *£4bn*, the largest since 2012.

Underlying earnings per share hit *1.55p*, while net debt rose to *£148.9m*, from *£99.7m *the year before.

Shares rose *3.5 per cent * to *116.6p *in early trading.

*Why it's [DEL: interesting :DEL] "reassuringly dull"*

For a company whose investors have become used to dramas (cf. 2013's criminal tagging scandal; February's share price crash), these results were "reassuringly dull", said analysts at Liberum.

The company had expected a comparative slide in profits in the first half thanks to an unusually strong first half in 2016. Crucially, results were in line with expectations, while small details - the fact its book-to-bill ratio was over 100 per cent for the first time in five years; that giant Grafton prison contract - provided encouragement for shareholders.

And while political uncertainty may have a modest effect on the company, with the potential to increase labour costs, Serco pointed out it is well-placed to take advantage of the outcome of the EU referendum. 

"The repatriation of swathes of regulatory functions may lead to important opportunities," it said.

"Many of our largest customers - most notably the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Justice and the Home Office - still have pressing needs to reduce costs and increase efficiency."

*What Serco said*

Rupert Soames, the company's chief executive, said: 



Notwithstanding the well-flagged decline in profits compared with the first half of 2016, trading in the first half of 2017 keeps us on track to achieve our expectations for the full year, and represents an improvement in underlying trading profit on the second half of 2016.

The most striking element is the order intake, which for two successive periods has been very strong, totalling some £4bn in the last 12 months, and we have succeeded in maintaining the pipeline at broadly similar levels despite strong order conversion. However, as we said in June, we remain sensibly cautious in the light of the political environment in several of our markets becoming markedly more unpredictable.
