🚧 Are you letting complacency put lives at risk on the job site? 🚧 "I've done this 100s of times; it will never happen to me." Sound familiar? Complacency bias is a silent killer in the construction industry, especially when it comes to trench safety. According to OSHA, trench collapses are among the most dangerous hazards in construction work, yet they are entirely preventable with proper precautions. Doon’t overlook the importance of consistently reinforcing safety protocols and remaining vigilant, even in routine tasks. One moment of complacency could lead to devastating consequences for workers and their families. Let's commit to a culture of safety where every trench is treated with the respect it deserves. #SafetyFirst #TrenchSafety #ComplacencyKills #OSHAStandards #IBuildAmericaOhio Queue up the podcast on your way in to work and listen to a trench collapse survivors story.

In Norman's recent blog he echoes Mark Farmer's thoughts on the construction industry and how MMC will play a vital part on the route to recovery. "At MFS we have seen a number of enquiries from main contractors planning (or even already working on) projects with a reinforced concrete frame and Metsec Infill, at its core. RC frame is a well-established, default construction method, but with an ever-acute skills shortages and spiralling material cost increases, many projects are facing huge challenges in getting started, or completed, within budget and on time." But, is there a viable & cost effective solution?

Even after all these years, and having evaluating thousands of deals, I am constantly surprised by the power of reference checks (in all of their many wonderful forms) to provide real-world validation to a hypothesis, and (in a few rare cases) pre-emptively reveal shocking surprises that I was glad to have uncovered in time. It is one of the essentials in the toolkit of a VC diligence done right, and yet is discussed surprisingly little. In our latest episode on the Practical Nerds podcast,Patric and I attempt to uncover what reference checks are all about, and the nuances of reference checks when it comes to Construction-tech companies. I am sure you will enjoy this one. Do give it a watch/listen and share your comments.
