There is a certain finesse to increasing profitability. Howie Rosenthal, Vice President of Customer Success with Blueprint Systems, spoke with Host Tyler Kern and Co-host and Managing Partner at Kelley Austin, Hunter Austin, about how businesses can create new efficiencies to maximize profitability.

A key aspect to business profitability is making sure customers are seeing value in the platform. When Rosenthal joined the Blueprint Systems team 7 months ago, his task was to reinvigorate that environment.

“Today, I lead a team of customer success professionals which covers technical support, delivery, implementation, and just insuring that our customers are always getting value out of the platform,” said Rosenthal.

With the company forging a new path forward, Rosenthal is re-committing his customer-focus finesse to improve the growth trajectory. Rosenthal implemented a self-developed framework he called, “LUV…LUV is an acronym. L-U-V which stands for listen, understand, and value your customer.”

The key to improving customer regard is to listen, understand, and learn how to solve in a way that can add value and improve efficiencies for the customer and the business.

Currently, some companies struggle to understand the technology they adopted in a rush, “What we’re seeing is that customers have lost track of what’s actually going on in their technology stacks,” stated Rosenthal, “…They know that automation is something they need to do at the enterprise level and they’ve made that first dive in but now realize ‘Hold on, we need to slow down, we need to take a step back, we need to understand and assess what we have before we make any more decisions about how we go forward.”

To help those companies, Rosenthal implements strategies which help strengthen and deepen his and his team members’ relationship with their customers. He said, “I believe that communication and transparency is really one of the pillars of a successful customer success organization.”

By building teams dedicated to helping individual customers needs and strengthening their relationships, Rosenthal’s Customer Success team is able to ensure prescriptive, intelligent success.

Mass timber can cut weeks off schedules, but insurance and keeping it dry decide who wins

Mass timber can cut weeks off schedules, but insurance and keeping it dry decide who wins

Mass timber can frame faster with less labor. But moisture protection and builder’s risk placement can make or break project economics. For owners, success is now a planning discipline.

  • 01The schedule benchmark is no longer theoretical: Redstone Arsenal’s CLT hotel cut structural duration by 37%, and that number is showing up in owner discussions about delivery models and labor planning.
  • 02Insurance is becoming a design input for mass timber, moisture exposure and remediation lead times belong in specs and logistics plans before panels ship.
  • 03Mass timber’s most practical upside often lands outside carbon: exposed structure reduces finish scope, but it forces earlier HVAC decisions in open-ceiling spaces.

Hybrid CLT offices are making tenants manage the base building like critical infrastructure

Hybrid CLT offices are making tenants manage the base building like critical infrastructure

Hybrid cross-laminated timber (CLT) is moving from a design talking point into an operations and risk-management item in commercial leasing, as occupiers chase lower embodied carbon and flexible floorplates while tightening controls on fire strategy, moisture, and fit-out interfaces. Structure Tone London’s Cam Hummerston argues tenants in hybrid CLT buildings need contractors who understand how base-build timber interacts with the office fit-out, including water management during construction and moisture detection once occupied. A concrete U.S. reference point comes from Bowdoin College’s 46,000-square-foot pair of mass-timber academic buildings, which Metropolis reported as Maine’s first commercial-grade mass timber projects, designed as all-electric and served by a shared heat-recovery chiller system for tight temperature and humidity control. Together, the sources indicate that procurement and facilities teams should treat mass timber as a package of structural, MEP, and monitoring requirements that must be written into leases, O&M documentation, and commissioning plans, not left to aesthetic intent.

  • 01The fastest practical way to de-risk mass timber for occupiers is to push fire strategy, moisture controls, and O&M deliverables into the lease and fit-out scope, because hybrid CLT performance depends on the base-build and tenant improvements working as one system.
  • 02A single headline carbon figure can hide scope differences: Structure Tone London cites 20–60% lower embodied carbon versus traditional construction for mass timber generally, while Metropolis reports a project team estimate of an 80% reduction versus a comparable steel superstructure at Bowdoin. Buyers should pin down what boundary each number uses before it becomes an RFP requirement.
  • 03If the use case has tight humidity or collection-grade environmental needs, Bowdoin’s choice of shared chilled and hot water produced by a heat-recovery chiller plus peak electric equipment is a useful precedent for how all-electric mass-timber buildings can be conditioned, and what that implies for metering, redundancy, and controls integration.
