No idea

In Toronto, Canada we get boondoggle after boondoggle. Union station, and now the Crosstown project. Way over budgets, and timelines. Metrolinx the government overseer sucks.

Could you elaborate on how as an employee/engineer i can get more project/clients for my company ie bring more money and save their time to ensure a fruitful outcome for my own career growth at faster pace.. which books would help in this scenario and implementing the change in workplace environment effectively on individual level..

What if a change order potentially induces bigger losses and damages? Since there usually isn't a separate contract for a change order, should the main contract state that any change order shall have a limited liability of 100% of the change order itself instead of the full contract?

Cian what are some top ways to 3x or 5x our salary after joining the company ? In small or big companies how it works as some top players of the team star individuals say it's possible so what's their secret or methods to reach that goal..apart from being good at our craft which skills and traits are needed ..

Standerd means normal. What is regular.

Advice: Keep a good lawyer with u all steps of way.

New Sub. You've got our attention

What happens if the Head Contractor is also affected by a delay from the client project manager and client? Subcontractors are affected by this delay as well. If there is an instance where the subcontractors procurement delay led to Liquidated Damages? But their still insisting to be paid the full amount of their subcontract. How do we navigate this?

Great info. I work in sales in the construction market (as a sub-contractor with different types of materials or solutions), but I do not have education in construction. So, it is always a pain in the ass to negotiate the contract. If you need to advise someone on where to start educating to becouma a master negotiator as a KENTZ. What would you suggest?

Funny thing, my job is to prevent exactly what you’re promoting in this video. It’s true that delays and extra (unforeseen) things can come up, which of course should be reimbursed to the contractor, but I’m pretty sure that’s not what you’re talking about!😂Nonetheless, interesting to see how you go about it, would love to have a chat on it

Goal! Reality! Options!! (3) Way forward! 🔥🔥

Thanks great info

Learned a lot here. Thanks Cian!

Awesome content

Because someone kept the money in the business.

Great clause

Great video. Since contracting is so cost competitive/race to the bottom, being able to take a couple of percent off your estimates by eliminating corporate overheads makes a big difference winning new work

Thanks for the video💎💎💎

Perfect

I agree. From my 30 years of research, all consecutive govt's' policies are to blame for the atrocious situation that is destroying our country. They do not listen to experienced practical businesspeople.

Not bad.

Hello can i know what the relation or deffierance between inspector and contract admin

Cian one query - 1 factor which i often see in job descriptions and earning promotions is 'communication skills' demanded mostly by employers so how does in work exactly in our favour to get quick growth in terms of money ?

He’s saying the employer will cause instability by disrupting the relationship, making them default back to the black and white of the contract and extinguish any verbal agreements. Cheers Cian love your vids

This is actually very good. Thanks

One thing I can add as a way to instantly improve differentiation: how the customer-facing team members interact with customers. If the business owner can wake up one day and say "I don't have visibility as to how our customers perceive our business because I do not interact with them - the 10 members of our front office staff interact with customers, and I don't monitor the interactions closely (or at all), I leave it up to the employee's own interpersonal skill." So for all the owner knows, customers might want to 'jump ship' to a different business. Or customers might be happy with the 10 employees who deal with customers. Point is, the owner just does not know. Two recent examples: 1) I was at a bank. There were 10 to 15 staff members inside their office or cubicle. There was only one teller interacting with the customers wanting to deposit, withdraw, etc. There were 5 people in line. The one teller was slow. People in line were giving up and walking out. It was 12pm noon. "Time is the most valuable asset." The bank customers are on lunch break. They notice the 14 other 'not my job!' employees at the bank not wanting to help with customers. I finished my deposit and went across the street and opened a new account at a competitor bank. OPPORTUNITY: business owner can make 100% effort to know how his business is being perceived by customers. 2) Long time swimming pool servicing vendor we used for our rental properties. Their customer-facing employees kept making mistakes. We asked for correction. No change. We replaced the vendor. A construction company owner who says "will put major effort into designing how customer-facing staff interact with customers, and will closely monitor them. Will hire those staff on 'people skills' could be a differentiator. I've been hiring contractors in the building trades for a couple decades. It's all over the map, how their customer-facing staff perform. It's a real opportunity to differentiate. Our roofing vendor and our HVAC vendor's customer-facing staff are courteous, punctual, conscientious and when an issue came up with one of the HVAC staff, they apologized and corrected. They've been our sole roofing and sole HVAC vendors for years. Just deciding to become aware of how well your customer-facing staff are performing with your customers is a massive opportunity, because too many vendors just leave it up to the untrained-in-customer-service employees. If the business owner can produce a polished customer-facing staff with incredibly good interpersonal skills with customers, it's a huge advantage, because most small businesses put too much faith in the untrained employee's ability to work well with customers. .

Not when contracts are legally binding and contractors pay a daily penalty for being late. Plus the cost to complete the job still fall on them.

Excellent interview! Does he have a youtube channel?

Lol
