My Quality Sunday nite investing more unpaid time into BuildingTools just got a pleasant jolt from David Chandler OAM impassioned email about the need for improving Class 1 quality. I agree👍. However, Todd Symons @ Eden Brae Homes, Rawson’s bruvs @ RAWSON HOME BUILDERS & many other Builders I meet all the time wanna build well … & usually do. It’s all got to do with what David says ‘Old style - proud of what they did & able to do it time & time again’✔️ I was marking up a new Tool™ … where we’d got the Draft wrong. So if BuildingTools takes intense technical🎓craftsmanship to create, how the hell can well intentioned rookies & even older tradespeople know what to do when suppliers give us crook products or TAFE Textbooks are outdated? Or no one can interpret the NCC or the hopeless reference documents they force us to try find answers in? Like we are told that tiled external decks need only be water resistant? Nonsense … always go WATERPROOF 🙏 And please use & charge for graded LVLs plus add a counter layer of glued & screwed FC if the Client insists on large format tiles. Case Study - a really good builder Richard Crookes Constructions was sold suspended ceiling grid which rusted in under 3 years. Governments TAKE NOTE … MAKE SUPPLIERS GIVE US FIT FOR PURPOSE PRODUCTS!!!!! 😠 … I am SOOO angry that the real villains are getting away with blaming good Builders & Tradespeople for their product failures … or disadvantaging enthusiastic young kids because, sadly, most TAFE & University syllabuses are obsolete & do not invest in resources / Tools™ that their stewed ants 🐜 & Graduates can find / refer to / supervise successfully with for the rest of their careers 👍🏻 Have a look at my mark up below. Then think hard about the next complex detail that needs you to get it right so David & I … and YOU can be proud! Quality starts SUNDAY nite 😉 …. where ‘new style’ Builders using ‘old style’ craft take back the Industry! Sooner, rather than later :) Build well Monday - Saturday!

50 DAYS TO GO - 60 REASONS TO VISIT BYTNAR LTD STAND THIS YEAR   🔵 REASON NO 11🔵   WE ARE AGILE! Ohhh… so you work in software development? We surely do develop software solutions for our operation that make us smarter, safer and more effective. This approach also spills into our operation as we chunkify the project development process to weed out any inconsistencies, clashes or issues at the early stage and iterate quickly to deliver projects more effectively. How does that look from the outside? We communicate often and directly. Picking up a phone to have a quick chat about this that and the other to agree on the way forward before sending that convoluted email that does not mean much before you untangle what your Architect or Engineer has to say, likely resulting in a phone call or/and a meeting. We do not have time for nonsense and frankly, we think you do not too. So, if you want an AGILE partner on your next project or you have not yet realised what a breath of fresh air such a partner is, BYTNAR LTD is where you will find him.

Building success is like building a house. 1. Foundation: You need to examine the dirt and location you will build your foundation on. That will determine if there are rocks, holes, or gaps that need to be filled in or addressed prior to laying the foundation. Once you have a better understanding of what your foundation will be sitting on, begin laying the foundation. The foundation bears the weight of the house. This is the most imperative piece of the house. To build success on a solid foundation, everyone must look at collective commitments. This will help when things get shaky or some of the infrastructure comes down and collapses. Addressing the common commitments is like looking at the foundation all over again. Are there cracks that need to be addressed? Did a seismic shift happen that caused damage. Circle back to common commitments to ensure all is well at the foundation level. 2. Frame: Once the foundation is laid and examined, begin framing the exterior walls that establish internal infrastructure. Exterior walls are a focused mission. These walls serve as a barrier to the external elements and offer safety and shelter in times of turmoil. When the exterior framing is solid, it serves as a scaffold to hold the roof. Exterior framing secures the internal walls, floors, and stairs. The focused mission serves as the anchoring point of action. When there is a focused mission, everyone is working within the same walls. If there is damage to the exterior walls, the infrastructure as a whole is compromised. Staying focused on the mission is like anchoring yourself to the strength of the exterior walls or leaning into the scaffolds to bear the weight. 3. Roof: Once the roof is on, it is time to sit and take in that clear vision. Celebrate this monumental moment in building success. You have now established a solid foundations of common commitments; framed out the mission to stay focused and anchor to; and now you have placed the roof where the vision is elevated and extended. Take a minute and examine everything before you move on. Level everything out and make adjustments if necessary. And breathe in the beauty and hope found in that vision. #education #instructionalleadership #motivatingsupervision #teambuilding #schoolturnaround #schoolimprovementplanning #teaching #actionplanning #buildit #onestepatatime #projectmanagement #leadership #coaching
