Elevate Construction


Jan 7, 2022

Final section of Elevating Construction Surveyors with Brandon Monteiro. Party chief threw his radio into bushes instead of training the new hire. Train others, mentor, weigh in on costs, determine your sweet spot, manage multiple teams, build a cohesive department. Your career will be so much better if you care about it.

What you'll learn in this episode:

  • Train effectively: skip hour explanations, use sketches or five-minute videos, match learning style
  • Interpret and write scopes: know who receives your work and how they will use it before starting
  • Consider costs: flag additional level of effort before doing it, only you know what changed
  • Lead the crew: conductor metaphor, your pace sets their pace, your name is on their work
  • GC and surveyor: check in and check out daily, share control plan, communicate conflicts with logistics plan

Your career will be so much better if you care about it and are willing to put your name on everything that you do.
