How To Manage A Construction Project Step By Step

[@MrSaemichlaus]

The most terrifying thing about responsibility is when you don't know the thing you are responsible for. It's like hearing a roar out of the dark forest. And there's only one solution: read up, be transparent about your blind spots and work with other people to figure out what is going on around you. Walk the perimeter of your garden, that is, determine what things you have to make sure about, and what are things that you may want to check up on, but are really under somebody else's responsibility. Once you know your challenge and have flagged the landmarks and walked it off with your team, you are set for making informed, conscious decisions.

Just found out this channel. This is some seriously high quality content and he’s got a good personality for teaching.

I really loved your video, and it helped me a lot. Thank you so much:)

[@robertmurphy4340]

Love you, you are God sent. I’m revamping my business from so many failures with the wrong model/ structure. Again thank you.

I'm an old PM moving into a new industry (construction - new to me). I appreciate the information you provide and you've earned my likes and subscription!

[@jamesvosena1931]

Thanks for your empowering tutorials. As a Cartographer, I am inspired and motivated and feel energized to learn and grow and make an impact in the construction industry, in Kenya

[@DavidRambhajan]

Great summary, Jason. You shared the information in an easy-to-understand way. Many very knowledgeable persons get their degrees in engineering and construction, but many don't understand the basics surrounding managing general construction, especially from a general contractor's perspective.

[@paulakatoa581]

Currently in my apprenticeship and this was great for me to receive your insight and teachings to correct my system and strategy to how I approach my workplace in doing my part and helping my peers around me. Great gems and loved how you broke it down step by step from what is expected and how to outwork that collectively. Thanks for the video!

[@GoukouniModouahmat]

Thanks to give us This training , be blessed by God.

[@felipeadebarros]

Hello Jason, I just wanna say I can’t believe I found you the time I need the most! I’ve been working with construction for 20 years with my small company, but just got an offer from one of the biggest construction companies in my area and I definitely need to recycle, refresh and learn a lot from you. Thank you.

[@austinjacobsen7887]

Jason, did you happen to work with Russell Pierce on the $150m California prison project? Russell was my cousin and Mentor in this industry and one of the last things he told me before he got sick was to read your book. Working with him before he passed, I can tell a lot of how he operated was exactly as laid out in your book. He often talked about a fellow field engineer that he worked with that would sleep in his office on a couple office chairs, I can't help but think that was you! You'll have to let me know! Now that Russ is gone, I'm glad I have you to learn from as I can tell he learned a lot from you and was very good at his job.

[@jasonwilliamschroeder]

This hit my feels. I miss him. That is so sweet! I don’t remember sleeping in the office but I’m the only one on that team that would. I was crazy then. He probably told you unflattering stories too. I did not know he passed. That makes me sad. He was a good man.

[@austinjacobsen7887]

@@jasonwilliamschroeder So sorry to be the bearer of the news! He passed a few weeks ago from complications from cancer! To clarify on the office chairs, he said he would come into the office early and the person would be sleeping on the chairs as they would fall asleep working late and just stay there. He was using that as an example of commitment to the job and doing whatever it took to be successful. He is the main reason I made the switch over to construction management. It is a big loss for the family and he is greatly missed. He didn't mention your name to me, I just now made that connection, but I know he thought very highly of you and spoke of your trainings often in training others.

[@jasonwilliamschroeder]

@@austinjacobsen7887 this is a very loving message. I am glad to have received it. Condolences to your family!

Thanks Jason!

Solid content, great delivery. Keep up the good work brother. Youve got a sub from Kuala Lumpur.

[@hvacengineeringbyvladimirpaul]

The Cultural fit is opening a can of warm)) That's helpful content, thanks. As a PM in specialty construction ( Mechanical), I never have an opportunity to pick up a team, and it’s already determined by someone else. I work for four different companies and it’s the same. But I agreed 100% on the team subject , crucial

[@BreedloveFamily]

I love numbers, and numbers love me

[@sergeymylnikov452]

Hello Jason! I just started my study for master in construction management. So I found out your content is super helpful for me. Just keep going. I’ll wait for new videos and if I’ll have any questions I’ll ask for sure! Thank you so much🙏

[@jasonwilliamschroeder]

Absolutely!

[@nuwanSankha]

Wow

[@brannonburton5494]

I really like your your advice. I’m wondering what your thoughts are on some of the more fundamental basics of lean in construction. It’s great to check in on the numbers monthly, but can the superintendent walk the job and see if it’s healthy? So often the superintendent is scratching his head on why the job is late and in chaos, but his job has all sorts of physical problems that he’s not even looking at. It is so common to see inventory piled up, trades stacked on top of one another, excess equipment and labor (usually at the gc’s request), garbage, forms left all over the site, defective work, over-production, deliveries that interupt work flow etc. In my experience, these are the primary cause of delays and budget over runs on the project.

[@jasonwilliamschroeder]

I totally agree. Have you read Elevating Construction Superintendents or listened to the Elevate Construction Podcast? I think you would love the content. I address your topics there. I believe you are right. You seem to really know what you are doing.

[@jonathanstoddard7712]

Thank you Jason, I really appreciate that you take the time to spread your knowledge on KZbin. Please keep the knowledge flowing. Thank you again.

[@Super-super706]

I absolutely appreciate your content. I have been building homes for 18 years, multi family for 5yrs…. As a new superintendent to a small residential builder it’s hard to navigate without any of the clearly defined systems, I am in the process of implementing some of your ideas, so thank you!

[@jasonwilliamschroeder]

This make me so happy.

[@hatem6508]

Man, seriously we dog deep into key steps I was wondering about big time. Thanks But I have a question and I hope you would be able to create content or a video about it. Because it is so common here at least in the GCC. Hence the question is, what do you do when you have someone although you are practicing the work with the best strategies and are all satisfied, yet, one person keeps screwing you with the director and Sr. Director (bearing in mind that he has been with them for 14years. what do you do? How do you overcome this negative energy? 2- What do you do when you know that from the director and above, all the exact opposite of teamwork, they rely on fear, pressure people beyond the maximum, and for consecutive weeks with not even a positive word such as the famous two words "Thank You". I'm tired.....

[@Four15Productions]

I had this with a company I was working with and I just quit left them and now I’m just working on getting my PMP certification. I understand your pain good luck

[@jasonwilliamschroeder]

Can you e-mail me so we can discuss by email? [e-mail]

[@MrSavillUK]

It's a tough position to be in when the directors are like this. A lot of the time in my experience, it's because they don't have a business plan or strategy and rely on making everyone fearful of them and hope that by putting pressure on the team, the team will figure it out for them. I've just been in this situation in my previous employment. I doubled the companies turnover in my first year with them and didn't get any ackowledgement or recognition for it and that new turnover figure just became the new expectation for the following year. I decided to leave and go to another company and the set up and culture is so much better. Hard work is rewarded, the team is informed and very well procured and there is a great system that works where everybody is on board. Meanwhile the company I worked for before have gone back to their previous turnover (and probably their chaotic, unorganised ways). Sometimes it's more to do with finding the right place for you where you can flourish, not because what you're doing is wrong. Best of luck!
