The establishment of Arlozrov 17 in Tel Aviv. This was my first significant project as a project manager, from its beginning to end. I enjoyed taking on the responsibility of managing the project, tackling its engineering and management challenges, directing the team along with being able to teach and train young supervisors. I am proud of the work relationship I developed with the contractor and the commissioner, who not only gave me trust, but also saw me as a partner throughout the project.

I supervise the execution of the project on the sites. The essence of my job is to oversee the building process, quality assurance, adaptation of plans, and to simultaneously manage the contractors and consultants.

Share with us your proudest professional achievement

The moment that a project is finished! The outside perspective, so to speak, of a building project that you were a part of provides immense personal satisfaction, the kind that cannot be described with words. All of the difficulties that are experienced throughout the years spent working on a project pale in comparison at that moment, which creates the feeling that you’ve been a part of something huge (no matter how cliché it may sound).<br /> As the song goes, 'Here I built my home with my two hands."

What do you enjoy the most about your current role at WXG?

The complexity, the dynamics, the combination of so many parameters... It is never boring; you always must use your brain to find a solution for something.

I serve as Urban Renewal Manager, within the department for Urban Development. My role is to ensure approval of the best possible plan in the shortest possible time span. This is so that optimal project execution occurs both for the apartment owners and for the city.

Share with us your proudest professional achievement

I find that the biggest achievements in long and complex city construction planning are actually the little things, such as successful consultant meetings for optimal planning, gaining local committees’ advice on project plans, recruiting consultants to take part in the project, and regularly updates to the customer about small successes throughout the process.

What do you enjoy the most about your current role at WXG?

The greatest pleasure I get from my job is the sense of partnership in creating and changing areas in Israel. I see it as my contribution to society. Urban regeneration and crowding of cities in Gush Dan is inevitable; the challenge is to manage it effectively. Taking a part in those processes gives me a sense of pleasure and achievement.

Tell us about your role at WXG

I manage mega projects in their pre-production stages. In previous years I led the planning of the Azrieli Sarona project; and then for two years I have lead the international management team that dealt with the planning of the Azrieli group’s Spiral Tower. It was their tallest building at the time, with the height of 320 meters.

I am happy to say that there are many moments that I am proud of. For example, receiving a Form 4 earlier than our given deadline; and seeing "my baby spread its wings", which in this case was the populated building. <br /> I was also very moved when a previous client personally requested me for a new project he was setting up. <br />

Share with us your proudest professional achievement

When I finished my studies, I really wanted to be a part of the execution field, and as a woman I had experienced a lot of difficulties finding a job. When I started working in supervising, there were many people (especially contractors) that raised an eyebrow and had difficulty understanding what a woman was doing on the construction site. I loved seeing how the raised eyebrows and the half-contempt turned into respect and recognition for my professional abilities, regardless of my gender. I am glad to see that today there are more women in execution and supervision. This is a great achievement!

"I have an interest here with the construction workers…" I especially love the execution phase, which allows me to work on multiple fronts: with the contractor, with the consultants and with the entrepreneurs. I love dealing with unexpected obstacles and finding solutions even in a short amount of time. The work so dynamic and unconventional, that no day is like any other.

Right from the beginning, we set ourselves a goal to develop our field on a professional level, rather than staying in its existing position.<br /> Within this framework, we have built tools to assess and predict project costs. We introduced the use of BIM to our day to day work, with which we rated the measurement techniques in a way that raised their level of accuracy and reduced arguments with contractors.

In one of our projects we established a luxury residential building on the seafront. While approaching the approval date for population percentage, the commissioner decided to change the finishing materials in all of the public spaces in the building. Even still, we managed the execution stage by aggressively setting goals, and we were able to not give on the quality of the project. Thanks to the great work relationship and the teamwork within the main contractors’ crew, we were able to meet our deadlines against all odds.

When managing a mega project, each project is a matter of years of work. In my opinion, receiving any building permit, contractor appointment, commissioner approval and/or budget approval on behalf of the commissioner, is a "win."<br /> However, when you hold a project's Form 4 in your hand, approved after many years of work, and you receive the clients' appreciation for all of the efforts you invested; it is an exciting and empowering moment that cannot be forgotten. <br />

What do you enjoy the most about your current role at WXG?

I am happy to say that I am blessed - I enjoy every day! The dynamic at the site, the packed schedule, and the number of daily tasks, are all so powerful; that these projects are done with love and by choice.
