How is working at your company different from doing the same job at your competitors? Answer this question to be able to show candidates what makes your company different. For general contractors especially, it's easy for people to view a Superintendent or Project Manager position at one company as the same as another. Your company is different though - show people what sets you apart. #groundupconstructionrecruiting

We get a myriad of superintendent resumes on a weekly basis. The #superintendent is our ‘field general’ in each location we work and they are our customer’s main point of contact for day-to-day construction operations. How do we identify your successful past performance. 1. You can identity specific examples of enhancing your 3 week and 6 week look ahead schedules and you can communicate how you compressed a critical path. You understand the production, crew and tool inefficiencies and can evaluate float that is disappearing. 2. That when you duel hat as a Quality Control professsional that you have a cadence and process for conducting quality control with the customer’s quality assurance. If you run both sides of quality you have a testing, inspection, and commissioning process that provides successful outcomes and you know it like the back of your hand. 3. That you don’t believe safety impedes building efficiency. That you have proceedures for stop work authority, retraining, and subcontractor craft professional suspension. 4. That you have and believe in KPIs. The crazy part of most of my interviews is that 95% of these smart individuals have zero accountability from their companies with crucial project health metrics/performance indicators. That they don’t understand if they are winning or losing the game. 5. Reputation. We listen to how superintendents discuss the customers they’ve worked with and how they solved challenges together. In our view, a superintendent makes the job faster and simpler for our customers. That they build a charter together and that they work to compromise while building a fantastic project. How many of your projects lead to second time business with the same customer? No lone wolf mentality. Are you better than the rest? Reputation… The modern superintendent must wear several hats. These are the hats that matter to us. #constructiontitan ⛰️⛰️🦺🦺🦬🦬 #purposebuilders #constructioncareers #aecindustry #builders #subcontractors #schedulemanagement #qualitymanagement #safetymanagement

Here are 10 signs that may indicate you’ve hired the wrong contractor: 1. No one on site regularly: A lack of workers or visible progress can be a major red flag. 2. The site is consistently messy: A poorly maintained job site suggests a lack of organization and professionalism. 3. No project schedule provided: Without a clear timeline, it’s hard to gauge progress or ensure deadlines are met. 4. No site foreman or supervisor on site: A missing site manager can lead to miscommunication and poor oversight of the work being done. 5. No fixed price contract: If the contractor refuses to provide a clear, fixed price, costs may spiral out of control. 6. Things don’t look level or square: Visible quality issues, such as crooked or uneven work, are signs of poor craftsmanship. 7. Inconsistent communication: If your contractor is hard to reach or avoids questions, it could mean they’re hiding something. 8. Frequent delays with vague excuses: Delays are sometimes unavoidable, but if there’s no clear reason, it may signal poor planning or mismanagement. 9. Using subpar materials: If you notice lower-quality materials being used, it’s a sign the contractor might be cutting corners. 10. Lack of necessary permits or inspections: Skipping legal requirements can lead to future problems with safety, compliance, and resale value. These are critical warning signs that indicate poor management or unprofessional behavior, which could lead to major issues down the line. #ConstructionFail  #PoorCraftsmanship  #UnprofessionalContractor  #MessyJobSite  #NoSchedule  #BuildingMistakes  #ContractorRedFlags  #JobSiteNeglect  #CuttingCorners  #HomeBuildingIssues

Hiring general contractors can be a nightmare. Use these 5 tips to find the best GC possible: 1. Check qualifications Do your homework. Google the GC’s name and business name. See if any reviews are listed on public sites. 2. Ask for referrals The single most important part of hiring a GC is finding one you can trust. Reach out to other property owners and investors to ask for referrals. If you get a referral, take that GC out for a beer or coffee to get to know them better. 3. Ask questions • What is your payment schedule? • How long have you been in business? • Will I have a dedicated team for my project? • How and where do you store your team’s tools? • Do you have end-of-the-day clean-up procedures? • How far in advance do you order materials and where are they stored? 4. Vet the team Talk with the job site superintendent and understand their expertise and approach to solving issues with subcontractors. Who's going to run the painting crew? It's more important to talk with them than the salesperson for the contractor's company. 5. Protect yourself when paying Pay through a title company to ensure the contractors get paid and you avoid mechanics liens. This way, the owner is always protected since the title company will be providing a date-down endorsement.
