But when he visited construction sites, he found that what was needed to overcome obstacles was not design theory, but an accumulation of construction experience. He realized his lack of on-site expertise and wanted to improve things.<\/p><p>And so, ten years ago, Jeong Seong-ung joined Samsung C&amp;T Engineering and Construction (E&amp;C) Group, challenging himself to do better. Explaining this transition, he said, \u201cI always thought of myself as a semi-technician who knew only design. I thought that if I could harmonize design knowledge with construction experience, I would be more complete.\u201d<\/p><p>An opportunity presented itself on the site of Singapore\u2019s UIC Project: there was an opening in facilities construction management. At the suggestion of the site manager, and with the promised support of the experienced leader of the electrical team, Jeong boldly threw himself into the world of construction.<\/p><p>Currently, Jeong is in Kuala Lumpur as leader of the M&amp;E team for Samsung C&amp;T E&amp;C Group on the site of the construction of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/en\/samsung-ct-wins-bid-construct-kuala-lumpur-city-centres-podium-building\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Petronas Podium<\/a>.<\/p><p>From drawing up the blueprints to building maintenance, this project utilizes building information modeling (BIM), famously put to use in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/en\/aspects-ddp-world-around-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">construction of Dongdaemun Design Plaza<\/a>\u00a0in Seoul.\u00a0Globally, the application of BIM in construction is still in its infancy, but the trend is growing. As a pioneer, Jeong Seong-ung is convinced that this experience builds not only his own capacity in this area, but that of the company as a whole.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e0592eb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e0592eb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/jeong-seong-ung-photo-2-1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzYwMDcsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9uZXdzLnNhbXN1bmdjbnQuY29tXC91cGxvYWRcLzIuMFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvc2l0ZXNcLzNcLzIwMjBcLzEyXC9qZW9uZy1zZW9uZy11bmctcGhvdG8tMi0xLmpwZyJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"367\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/jeong-seong-ung-photo-2-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-36007\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/jeong-seong-ung-photo-2-1.jpg 940w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/jeong-seong-ung-photo-2-1-300x143.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f10119c elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"f10119c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d6a5e7c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d6a5e7c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Challenge after challenge, and the effort needed to master them<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76ba92f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"76ba92f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To transform from a design expert into a construction expert, Jeong Seong-ung has continuously worked hard. For example, he has made data, designs and plans easy for the client to understand, which required constant practice at giving presentations. This helped him overcome communication problems with the client and obtain special approval for several suggested designs. To accumulate as much knowhow as possible, he asked questions of colleagues, asked partner firms for reference materials, and studied examples from other worksites. All this enabled Jeong to make up for his lack of on-site work experience and put down roots in the field of construction.<\/p><p>Describing that initial period, Jeong Seong-ung reflects, \u201cIn the beginning, I thought about how to look ahead at what will happen at least a week in advance. So I got the partner firms to give me a three-month work schedule, reviewed it and compared what was needed for things to go smoothly. It was clear that we were really short on time.\u201d<\/p><p>Now, as M&amp;E team leader, Jeong Seong-ung is carrying out the joint tasks of operations and management. With this experience as an expert in two work areas, Jeong\u2019s mind is constantly racing, looking for the best solutions to challenges that the construction world throws at him.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cb2263d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cb2263d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/jeong-seong-ung-photo-3-1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzYwMDgsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9uZXdzLnNhbXN1bmdjbnQuY29tXC91cGxvYWRcLzIuMFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvc2l0ZXNcLzNcLzIwMjBcLzEyXC9qZW9uZy1zZW9uZy11bmctcGhvdG8tMy0xLmpwZyJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"367\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/jeong-seong-ung-photo-3-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-36008\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/jeong-seong-ung-photo-3-1.jpg 940w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/12\/jeong-seong-ung-photo-3-1-300x143.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-581521d elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"581521d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d3f8df4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d3f8df4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">A leader who stresses fundamentals and principles<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-233b0243 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"233b0243\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Even after ten years, Jeong Seong-ung sees the value in putting emphasis on fundamentals and principles.

As an example, he cites the Singapore UIC site manager, who taught the truth that problems can be solved when everyone communicates openly and sincerely, as well as the leader of the electrical team on that same project who supported him practically and mentally when Jeong was still new to the on-site world.<\/p><p>He explains, \u201cWhen I had just started construction, the leader of the electrical team encouraged me, saying let\u2019s do this together, and you can do it,\u201d adding, \u201cI experienced lots of trial and error in the beginning, but I\u2019m able to stand here today because my colleagues waited for me, helped me and believed in me.\u201d<\/p><p>After a decade of pushing himself to master a new field, Jeong Seong-ung explains, \u201cThe sense of achievement that you feel from a process where you\u2019re doing something that looks hard to accomplish or trying something for the first time is what keeps me in the game.
