[@daniolumuyiwa]

I've been working as a consultant engineer for almost two years now and this is by far the best explanation of how a construction project works.

[@NasonVSRG]

Thanks for the simplicity. I am a studying safety management trying to learn more about construction. This was a great start.

[@TheGuitarNewby]

The moment I saw the first frame of the video I immediately knew this is what I was looking for. Excellent video, my friend! Thank you very much.

[@shantelaiona]

I’ve been in construction on the specialty subcontractor side for over 6 years. Your explanation is amazing! Everyone should watch this video that is in construction.

[@youngaxe6725]

Amazing video! explicit like ever! Thank you so much. You are a great teacher!

[@hongganglai3758]

Great video illustrating the complex relationships involved in a construction site!

[@AnDrewKrech]

Wow, great simple content. Great simple presentation. I sped up the play time to 1.5 speed and was thoroughly educated very fast. Saved into my continuing education channel. Blessings

Very easy to understand....Nice job!

[@Bmywudt2]

Thank you for the information. It's very helpful. 13:05 example on RFI was just funny

[@darbypea2223]

Thank you I found this very informative. I've never worked in construction so it's a load off to learn some stuff ahead of time before my pre-apprenticeship

[@karterdraven3336]

you all prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost my password. I love any help you can give me.

[@MegaMachineboy]

This lecture is a blessing..

Thanks

[@sfain7273]

this is great information !

[@jfjgjghcbvbv6520]

Very Helpful‼️

[@mightycanuck7762]

Does Minnesota actually require 6 ft footings? You had stated that was the frost line? Exaggeration or code?

[@jesusisthetruth8297]

Thank you, this video really really helped, God bless you and Jesus loves you😃

[@andresgonzalez2064]

Very helpful for beginning to understand the construction process. Thanks

[@pabli4750]

Thank you.

[@raymondpang645]

This guy looks like Procore itself; clean cut hair, simple outfit and colors. Hell, his orange hair is Procore's logo

[@Africa154]

And thank you!!!

[@fadidabban]

Good day sir, Would it be ok to approach the architect/ design office after a contract is awarded to present interior fitout accessory products ?

[@johnmcmahon1041]

Great. Business. Program.

[@hadjuntame35]

Amazing Video. you should keep posting video lectures of construction management.

[@Mrcool12684]

Agreed 100%

[@Africa154]

Nice video man (:

[@victoriapearson5321]

I hope that you can assist me. I need to buy software that compares bids side by side and identifies pricing and scope discrepancies, etc.. All suggestions would be appreciated. I only work with contractors who break down their bids. Does Procore have a module that will do this? It is overwhelming to analyze bids from 4-5 contractors with 200+ line items in each bid. I am not a construction professional; although, I have hired several contractors in the past few years for both small projects and major residential renovations. So, I am not a newbie and I am very capable using software with a steep learning curve. Thank you.

[@barankarakose]

Great Video!

[@danielkrajnik3817]

16:46 how many builders does it take to

[@BillyG869]

RE: Punch Lists, you first make it incumbent on the Installer/Sub/Builder that they need to first send a letter stating that other than the following items the product/Installed work, etc. is completed with exception to the following list...

[@DeePreace]

Sé que tienes hambre, pero voy a comercializar y completar los fondos. Ten un poco de paciencia conmigo, esta es la primera vez que hago esta transacción.

[@mohamedsenesienabay1887]

I really want to learn this job, please help me,

[@flyinlo1474]

Great video!! Very helpful for me beginning to understand the construction process. Only suggestion is toss the gum :)

[@BillyG869]

This guy covers all the variables from experience

[@rolandomcintosh7444]

I want to get into construction management but I’m from a third world country, Jamaica. If i get a bachelors degree in my country would it still be valid in other countries? Like USA for example

[@finesse9892]

Have you looked it up yet

[@fadidabban]

Also where is the consultant role in this ?

[@i.j.liberty8487]

Great

[@TR-ms9zy]

To clarify… the architect will without a doubt hold up progress

[@alekajunior]

cool

[@ratlord667]

I am commenting to say hello

[@sandracade6965]

Okay

[@mashafedorchuk4374]

Could you explain please the difference between construction company and contractor company. If the company that builds (or it’s better to say construct) real properties also provide contracting services will it be right to call the company CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTING COMPANY? And when company should be named only as construction company? Thanks in advance 😊

[@thomaschildress911]

I would disagree on the Short Steel analogy. Someone will pay for the crew efficiency decrease. Analyse the schedule impact and pass the cost on with either a claim or change order. No reason for the contractor using contingency with out utilizing the process in place.

[@gothicskeleton7324]

i’m 15 and i want to start a construction Business

[@Cheetobob]

i sure hope you don't have plumbers and finishers working at the same time lol.. that would be some poor scheduling

[@jeg812ify]

Why does the architect lead over the head engineer. You would think it would be the other way around.

[@TheGuitarNewby]

The Head Engineer would be in charge of all facets of engineering(structural/mechanical design) pertaining to a project. They are more adept at addressing the technical aspects of the project, and delegating the various engineers effectively -- whereas the Architect would be more equipped to assume the role of a Leader, mediating between all the various facets(Contractors, sub-contractors, Local Authority, Regional Administration, Quantity Surveyors) of the construction process. From what I gathered in the industry, the Architect articulates the preliminary design of the project to the Employer/Property Owner, along with the Quantity Surveyor's guiding hand, as to ensure optimal fiscal, environmental, and sustainable outcomes for the Property Owner. The Head Engineer would only report to the Architect, Quantity Surveyor, and the Contractors, as to ensure that they are following the overall design, and are completing the works in accordance with the variables set out in the Prime Contract... The Property Owner has little utility for the Structural/Mechanical reports of the Head Engineer, thus they would report to the Architect and the Quantity Surveyor. This line of command would dictate that the Architect assumes a Leadership role, preferably, over a Head Engineer. Also, Architects complete modules during the course of their tuition which equips them to manage and mediate between the facets of construction inter-and-intra-personally. This leadership should not be mistaken for a rung among the competency hierarchy, I believe both the Architect and Head Engineer are equally invaluable to a successful project! My knowledge on this is admittedly pretty elementary, but that's how I have it. Correct me if I'm wrong!

[@kittymcpaws4862]

because the engineer is busy

[@jasonderby7635]

In simple terms, the architect designs the building so they are responsible for it. The architect is the “professional of record” and is legally responsible for the health, safety, and welfare of a building. As he stated in the video the architect has a contract with the owner, and the general contractor has a contract with the owner. The architect hires structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing engineers as consultants for a project. Technically they work for the architect and not the owner, so that is why they report to the architect. Engineers don’t design buildings, they design components of a building.

[@cadsux]

In California, Contractors need 4 years Journeyman experience, and pass a 2-part test to get GC licensed. Engineers need a relevant college degree, min. 4 years experience, and pass 1 test to get PE licensed. Architects need a relevant college degree, min. 8 years experience tracked nationally by NCARB, and pass 5 tests to get licensed. Gee, who has the most (legal) responsibility here?

[@albertoricordi]

The way engineers and architects are represented in the first 2 minutes of this video is not correct. Architects and landscape architects are indeed responsible for technical aspects of the construction, not design only. Likewise, engineers are very important in the design process. The author of this video probably has no clue of what construction documents and technical specifications are, which are part of every serious construction projects.

[@finesse9892]

What no he just understands that this is for the smoll brain folks who dont want to be engineers but still want construction money 💰

[@hindisongslover2123]

Irrelevent video about construction

[@ramonmoreno3341]

Hindi Songs Lover you are mistaken baby. I am a license contractor. This video is gold.

[@TheGuitarNewby]

I'm a student and I've obtained invaluable guidance from this video... Idk how one could state this is irrelevant, if you've watched the whole video...

[@solomonmiller563]

Thanks for the video. I'm a construction management student at my local community college and this helped put things into perspective with a nice flow
