The Bell Curve of Life
This workshop relates to understanding the set of job skills that you need to be a successful on-site construction manager. Every job, from CEO down to traditional staff, will require a certain skill set that needs to be addressed, tweaked, measured, analyzed and mastered. Many tasks require efficiency, but most daily routines focus on a specific set of necessary skills. Follow Farrell Middleton, a 35-year industry veteran as he discusses the importance of the 3 pillars of real estate development.
Proposed Discussion Topics:
• Scheduling and Coordination: The key to success is a good schedule and effective coordination. This relates to the trade base, the main office, municipal government staff, fieldinspectors, customers, and the general public.
• Jobsite Condition: Clean and orderly are good and reflect a high-quality level. This relates to overall stage appropriate cleanliness of active jobsites, safety measures, keeping the general area in good condition, having the jobs ready for the trade base when they are scheduled to be on site, and calling for inspections when the work is properly completed.
• Finish Quality: This is what to strive for – a final product that presents well and functions properly. Complete with all the parts and pieces in place, clean, presentable, houses are move-in ready, residential lots are ready to build on. Would you accept the condition as a finished product if you were paying for it?
