Great video. I've been in construction for over 30 years. Your crews and the relationship you have with them is really important. The build schedule, procurement and everything else are just routine parts of the build script. The script is just papers without those laborers. Treat your subs and tradesmen with respect and always make sure that they have everything that they need to succede. These are the folks that can make you a rockstar. Be approachable, because you want them to feel like they can bring problems to you for solutions, not backlash. You don't want guys to scatter when you pull up because you rule with an iron fist. If you're confident, professional and appreciative, you will inspire them to do their best, and they will always be there for you. Just my two cents
My super yells at everyone, every morning, at our daily stretch and flex and job site meeting. He’s not approachable at all 😂
I am about starting a superintendent role. Just learning
Please make a video about what micromanagement is vs being an effective super. How some things can be viewed as micromanagement and how to build a culture of open learning and a coachable team players.
This is some of the best advice you can get for becoming a superintendent or just improving your skills. I was just promoted from assistant superintendent to site superintendent and these skills definitely have helped me better manage my time and jobsite
I’ve never had the opportunity to be a superintendent, or even even given it any thought, but now I have become friends with a gentleman that’s about 10 years older than myself and he is a superintendent and says he loves what he does. As I am starting to have thoughts of what a superintendent of construction would be or do, this is the first video I watched. What good information! Thank you!! I really appreciate it! 👍
I was offered a position as a super and promised training when I accepted the job. I'm going to succeed but after 9 months this video has enlightened me more that anything else.
Thank you. Have you read Elevating Construction Superintendents yet?
@Jason Schroeder I have just discovered your channel. I will be sure to read any and all recommendations as the company I work for gives absolutely no guidance or knowledge to pull from. If there is any training recommendations I am all ears.
@@anthonygostischa574 I recommend The Lean Builder series and the Elevate Construction Podcast. I think you will love it.
Hey Anthony, how’s the job been?
I appreciate the recipe to success. I’m currently on a DPR job here in Austin Texas and it’s always good to get refreshed on some valuable information. Appreciate your spending your time making these videos keep them coming.💪🏼🤙🏼
Dude you are awesome. I am captivated and can't skip any single second of your presentation. Love your energy, love your perspective and the way you put your mind through the words
Your positive attitude and light make me want to do construction. Thank you.
Field engineer here and eager to learn everyday an become a good superintendent I love my job.
Nice! I also carrer switched 2 years ago and was promised training and be a builder in a year lol. My role is Finish Manager on paper. As soon as my builder frames and drywall the place he orders cabinets and gives me the install date. From there I schedule everything else for install until it's 100%. I don't call in anything cement related. I also walk the houses under contract to check for damages or missing things and order materials and schedule with contractors. I do 1st walks and signoff with homeowners and submit any forms to my builder. My salary is 52k plus bonus and set # gas money per check. As of today I feel very confident in majority of what I do but I feel like I can earn more elsewhere but I'm scared of not having a degree or too much experience on paper & my builder will not teach me "I believe" more to be a builder because I'm a huge asset to him.
Nothing is perfect in construction but your advice will
Put a dent in change orders and we all know how costly those can be…..
33 year old superintendent from texas its tough but we have ambition and agression
Thanks very much 👍
Thanks , Jason.
Awesome video, thank you.
Thank you very much for your help Sir !
Greetings Jason ,
You must always make them feel free around you ,allow them to lead as well by sharing ideas wit you .
and give them daily duties .
I would love to hear about the role of an assistant superintendent? For those who are trying to get their foot in the door with a home builder. Great video thanks Jason!
I’m on it
crisp and interesting!
Great video
I am new here and really loving this educative video
Love learning these leadership skills
Your videos are so underrated! This month I will be bumped up to superintendent assistant, I’m nervous but I’ll give it all I got🙌🏽
Thank you for these kind words. Good luck. Let me know if you ever need help.
Good job! Understand your position and ask questions to everyone. Nobody expects you to know everything but expects you to follow up with directions of the next step. Remember everyone loves to talk about themselves and what they know. Listen, ask them questions back so you understand. This helps in 2 ways. You gained respect from the individual and you know what their true question is.
@@scottfrey5611 very much appreciate Scott
Thanks
This is really good. One of the things I like so much about it is that it’s three main items, and they are so achievable and simple.
Thank you. Glad you liked it.
I love being a super, keep up with the videos on tips for Super's
Will do. Thank you.
Hi Jason, great content that is spot on!
Thank you.
This is great content Jason! Keep up the great work and thanks for providing us with this knowledge.
You are welcome.
Awesome content shared with great clarity! Thanks Jason!
Welcome.
Great summary Jason! Excellent invitation to dig deeper.
Thank you.
Best video ever
I would love if you made a more in depth video specifically for beginning or prospective Superintendents! Or a video on managing burnout with the Superintendent position requiring 6 day work weeks at times
On it.
Great video a lot of help thank you Man, Next Monday i Gonna start as Project Superintendent in New York City 5th avenue i do this before but not at this level. So i very greatfull of any advice thanks
You need to make more of these please ❤
On it. Hope you are doing well.
Awesome video. Really helpful for me.
I am glad
Great video man, another great book for leaders is called “Extreme Ownership”
❤
Rich Dad Poor Dad & Jason’s Book.
what is the difference between a superintendent and a project manager? who is higher on the ladder?
The video is very useful, but how it could be my profile for get my first job as superintendent?
Great video! Is there any chance that you can make a video giving tips on the best ways for a Project Engineer to improve their technical knowledge?
We will put that in the queu
Can you do a video on Scheduling? We use 2 week look ahead but I like the 6 week idea
3 is better, 6 is too far and 2 is to close , in oil and gas is common 3 week look ahead
Okay, so what if you’re procurement, design, the system is constantly failing. You’ve sent out emails, texts, meetings, and calls, and almost two years later, there is no change and now you’re struggling to keep the boat afloat? Do you sink with the ship or jump it?
How often do you suggest the Field Walks?
Currently doing 2 a day and sometimes more but I always get pulled one way or another.
I agree with twice a day.
Is there anyway I can talk to you guys, I currently have a opportunity to run my first jobsite but I haven’t had any real training it’s more of a lucky opportunity and I’m basically choosing to do it as a sink or swim approach, I want to be successful at this.
How can we help? My number is (602) 571-8987
Jason,
As a Superintendent I find myself rushing to get into the next task in my schedule and not giving the sub contractor enough time to finish their task. Which throws off my sequence in building my project. Any suggestions?
The only solution is Takt planning & the Last Planner System. There is no other way to correct this unfortunately.
Be the turtle--the turtle won the race. Never rush that's how bad things happen or worse people die.
But mas tarde bro?!
The trained and qualified team comes with the vendor's team. How can one waste his/her time on an already qualified vendor team? Isn't this a waste of the superintendent's time?
I’m on a job in alaska in a village the superintendent has no foreman and does not delegate or assigned a lead guy he started as an apprentice 8 years ago he is putting it all on the crew and it’s frustrating he is failing with budget and job has just begun just threatened us if we don’t make the task with in his budget we will get replaced I love the company but this guy is going to fail and blame us I’ve been a carpenter for 35 years he gives us wrong info and we have to recdo things any advice I don’t want to go over his head
