In this episode, Jason dives into a critical issue in construction: having the wrong trades on your team. He explains why the key to success in pre-construction starts with choosing the right trades and trade leaders. If you鈥檙e struggling with trades who aren鈥檛 performing, it may be a sign of a failure in the pre-construction process.
What you'll learn in this episode:
- Why having the wrong trades signals failure in pre-construction.
- The importance of pre-qualifying and interviewing trades before selection.
- How to align trade partners with your project鈥檚 goals and culture.
- Why a good pre-construction system sets the project up for success.
- How the Bioscience Research Laboratory project demonstrated the value of the right trade selection.
Are your pre-construction processes strong enough to ensure you have the right trades on your projects?
