Pro-Accel Employee Promoting Tip! If you wish to introduce a new position in your growing construction company, I highly suggest you do your homework and get very clear on what that new position means for your company today AND how it'll shape your future. I hear way too many stories of growing contractors who introduce a new position in their growing company by just telling one of their employees they're promoted without even knowing how to position that employee for success BOTH for the company and themselves. Know the full list of skills and responsibilities of what's needed for that role, hire or promote the person who has the most matching skills, THEN develop employees to quickly gain the skill gap they have (everyone has skill gaps). I suggest you also understand the roles/responsibilities of whom this person will be reporting to and try to offset some of the responsibilities to the newly appointed position. Why? Since you are growing, the person who is now this new positions supervisor will ALSO be taking on new responsibilities and skills needed to bring the company to the next level. They need to evolve and grow as well! It's not about one role, every role changes when companies grow. #proaccel #constructionoperations #constructionconsulting

Helping ambitious contractors achieve greater profits, improved cash flow, and sustainable growth with proven strategies that deliver real results with hands-on experience / Construction Operations Consulting
I see foremen getting less info on expectations as companies grow. Early on, they were a major part of the team, but as the company grew, they can often get sidelined. In larger companies, they sometimes don’t even get mentioned. These are the designated leaders in the trenches driving the production you NEED for sustainable growth. Make sure you’re setting clear expectations daily and keep them involved in your project meetings. Superintendents might not always communicate everything because they don’t always speak the same language as those physically doing the work. If your foremen know what’s expected, they’ll immediately understand what’s needed. Keep your supers in the loop, but get your foremen involved when talking costs and production goals. You'll see a major positive difference in your productions! #proaccel #construction #leadership #growth

Check out our take on what a Construction COO role looks like.

From Assistant Project Manager to COO: The Journey of a Project Manager Ever wonder what it takes to rise from an entry-level Assistant Project Manager (APM) to a Chief Operating Officer (COO) in the construction world? It’s not just about moving up the ladder, it’s about gaining the right skills, mindset, and leadership abilities at every stage. In my latest blog and video, I dive into the lifecycle of a project manager, and give you my take by explaining each step of the journey: 1) As an APM, you learn to manage tasks, paperwork, and stay ahead of the game. 2) As a Project Manager, you take on real leadership, owning projects and solving problems. 3) Senior Project Managers think big-picture, manage multiple projects, and shape company culture. 4) At the top as COO, it's all about vision, strategy, and leading the entire team toward long-term success.

To be a great construction professional you need to be creative and be a self-starter. Ownership needs to respect this as well.

To be a great construction professional you need to be creative and be a self-starter. Ownership needs to respect this as well. Many people (including me) talk a lot about implementing processes in your business. BUT what nobody seems to talk about is how putting too much process in a business will turn your people into robots who'll eventually hate their job and leave. There I said it. Honestly, most processes won't even be followed. In the construction business, standard operating procedures (SOPs) can eliminate a lot of fire drills, especially when expanding, but it's crucial not to go overboard with them. While processes help standardize and should be used in key areas like change orders, billing, safety protocols, project startup, project kickoff, estimating (pursuit, risk identification, analyzing subs, etc.), and any ongoing task that ABSOLUTELY MUST HAPPEN a certain way to keep your company moving in the same direction, the goal is to maintain consistency without messing up your employee's creativity. Every project is unique and comes with its own set of challenges. We need to empower our teams, field managers, estimators, and other key players to tap into their skills and creativity and find ways to value engineer projects and utilize their unique skills to get the project done. That’s why we hire them, after all. The right SOPs move the company forward, but the magic happens when you let your talent run with their expertise. To sum this up.....Don’t let SOPs box your people in. Keep creativity alive, and you'll see growth and innovation on every project. What do you think? #proaccel #constructionoperations
