It is not uncommon that most general contractors conduct a post-project review. Sometimes nicknamed the “post-mortem,” the intention is to huddle the primary leadership from a given project to debrief on its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that need to be eliminated. Sub-specialty contractors can learn from this same winning “best practices” process.

Hopefully the previous parts to this triology have been helpful. In some ways, it’s interesting that so much of what we deal with in the good ol’ USA is being experienced around the world. This I can confirm as I’ve worked with owners and leaders throughout Europe, parts of South America, Indonesia, and Australia. My recent trip to New Zealand was my third in the past 10 years.

At the first PAVE/X Conference in San Antonio this past February, I must have hit a real nerve for many contractors and field leaders. When asking leaders if they had a challenge with workers making mistakes that needed to be reworked or that caused a “go back,” the response ranged from smiling, nodding their heads in agreement, or just displaying frustration.

If you are finding that your crews and estimators are not always on the same page — in fact, sometimes they are miles apart — and that jobs are coming in with even less profit than you had planned then perhaps you need to implement a more aggressive and thorough pre-work discussion.

Educating our new workers may be the biggest effort we can make as owners and leaders. With a growing number of soon to be retired workers, contractors must consider their options. It’s always amazed me how “juiced” I am after attending a conference.

A prime aspect of “Risk Management” is the effort to limit, reduce, or eliminate any construction effort that would pose a safety risk. It’s more than a list of do’s and don’ts, it’s a culture, it’s part of the DNA fabric of your company about how they perform work and being commit to sending their workers home safe and in one piece…consistently.
