The most terrifying thing about responsibility is when you don't know the thing you are responsible for. It's like hearing a roar out of the dark forest. And there's only one solution: read up, be transparent about your blind spots and work with other people to figure out what is going on around you. Walk the perimeter of your garden, that is, determine what things you have to make sure about, and what are things that you may want to check up on, but are really under somebody else's responsibility. Once you know your challenge and have flagged the landmarks and walked it off with your team, you are set for making informed, conscious decisions.
Quick Summary
1..Understand the project, get the general feel of what is going to take the Project
-get the drawings
-flip through all of the pages
-flip through the specs
-understand the prime agreement(owner's requirements for the project)
things your team needs to know:
I)The Typical Details
II)The Typical Notes
III) Specification Items
2.Assemble the Right Team
First who then what
-do your skills abilities and personalities complement each other
-are they a cultural fit(for the owner and team on site
-are they an ideal team player -Smart
It is the number 1 priority
3.Divide and Conquer
You can't do it alone
Outline key roles, who is doing what and be crystal clear
4.Communication
Elevate your ability to communicate by
I)hold remarkable meetings
II) Proximity - spend time together
5.Identify the Biggest Risks
Risk and Opportunity Register- outlines risks, opportunity and what it'll cost

Thanks😊
I’m about three months into an HVAC vocational school. This video helps greatly with understanding the needs and negotiation of future employment. 💪 Thank you.
I've had a few close calls in the past, and I've learned the importance of wearing Softgle.
Just found out this channel. This is some seriously high quality content and he’s got a good personality for teaching.
Hello Jason, I just wanna say I can’t believe I found you the time I need the most!
I’ve been working with construction for 20 years with my small company, but just got an offer from one of the biggest construction companies in my area and I definitely need to recycle, refresh and learn a lot from you. Thank you.
Thanks Jason!
Just Subscribed! I am taking on a role as Construction Project Manager for the Coast Guard, and your content is really helping me feel confident in entering that roll. Thanks!
Solid content, great delivery. Keep up the good work bro. Youve got a sub from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
great video, well made and awesome tips I can share with my clients! Thanks Jason!
Rockstar! Great content, super informative!
Thanks for your empowering tutorials.
As a Cartographer, I am inspired and motivated and feel energized to learn and grow and make an impact in the construction industry, in Kenya
Great summary, Jason. You shared the information in an easy-to-understand way. Many very knowledgeable persons get their degrees in engineering and construction, but many don't understand the basics surrounding managing general construction, especially from a general contractor's perspective.
Very helpful Jason, thanks a lot!!
Happy to help!
The Cultural fit is opening a can of warm)) That's helpful content, thanks. As a PM in specialty construction ( Mechanical), I never have an opportunity to pick up a team, and it’s already determined by someone else. I work for four different companies and it’s the same. But I agreed 100% on the team subject , crucial
really, its useful for me
Awesome content
I absolutely appreciate your content. I have been building homes for 18 years, multi family for 5yrs….
As a new superintendent to a small residential builder it’s hard to navigate without any of the clearly defined systems, I am in the process of implementing some of your ideas, so thank you!
This make me so happy.
Hello Jason! I just started my study for master in construction management. So I found out your content is super helpful for me. Just keep going. I’ll wait for new videos and if I’ll have any questions I’ll ask for sure!
Thank you so much🙏
Absolutely!
Wow
Can you make a video (or have you?) about what kind of money can be made as a PM? Thank you, great info!
Jason, did you happen to work with Russell Pierce on the $150m California prison project? Russell was my cousin and Mentor in this industry and one of the last things he told me before he got sick was to read your book. Working with him before he passed, I can tell a lot of how he operated was exactly as laid out in your book. He often talked about a fellow field engineer that he worked with that would sleep in his office on a couple office chairs, I can't help but think that was you! You'll have to let me know! Now that Russ is gone, I'm glad I have you to learn from as I can tell he learned a lot from you and was very good at his job.
This hit my feels. I miss him. That is so sweet! I don’t remember sleeping in the office but I’m the only one on that team that would. I was crazy then. He probably told you unflattering stories too. I did not know he passed. That makes me sad. He was a good man.
@@jasonwilliamschroeder So sorry to be the bearer of the news! He passed a few weeks ago from complications from cancer! To clarify on the office chairs, he said he would come into the office early and the person would be sleeping on the chairs as they would fall asleep working late and just stay there. He was using that as an example of commitment to the job and doing whatever it took to be successful. He is the main reason I made the switch over to construction management. It is a big loss for the family and he is greatly missed. He didn't mention your name to me, I just now made that connection, but I know he thought very highly of you and spoke of your trainings often in training others.
@@austinjacobsen7887 this is a very loving message. I am glad to have received it. Condolences to your family!
"lift where you stand" that gave you away brother. Keep it up thanks for the video. I subscribed and liked.
I love numbers, and numbers love me
I really like your your advice. I’m wondering what your thoughts are on some of the more fundamental basics of lean in construction. It’s great to check in on the numbers monthly, but can the superintendent walk the job and see if it’s healthy? So often the superintendent is scratching his head on why the job is late and in chaos, but his job has all sorts of physical problems that he’s not even looking at.
It is so common to see inventory piled up, trades stacked on top of one another, excess equipment and labor (usually at the gc’s request), garbage, forms left all over the site, defective work, over-production, deliveries that interupt work flow etc. In my experience, these are the primary cause of delays and budget over runs on the project.
I totally agree. Have you read Elevating Construction Superintendents or listened to the Elevate Construction Podcast? I think you would love the content. I address your topics there. I believe you are right. You seem to really know what you are doing.
Thank you Jason,
I really appreciate that you take the time to spread your knowledge on TH-cam. Please keep the knowledge flowing. Thank you again.
Best video on all TH-cam about the subject, I would like to Donate
Can you make a video on building a construction manager CV ? A typical CV template
You mean building the resume?
Jason, project engineer here in VT. Can you please add a video detailing the communications of young field engineers interacting with superintendents
Absolutely!
On it.
Mr. Jason help me out, I am from India currently working as a procurement engineer with 7 years experience in construction and I got an offer for project coordinator, I am willing to pick so please give some tips and skills to improve myself to successfully achieve in project co ordinator role for multiple projects
this dude is brutal
Man, seriously we dog deep into key steps I was wondering about big time. Thanks
But I have a question and I hope you would be able to create content or a video about it. Because it is so common here at least in the GCC.
Hence the question is, what do you do when you have someone although you are practicing the work with the best strategies and are all satisfied, yet, one person keeps screwing you with the director and Sr. Director (bearing in mind that he has been with them for 14years. what do you do? How do you overcome this negative energy?
2- What do you do when you know that from the director and above, all the exact opposite of teamwork, they rely on fear, pressure people beyond the maximum, and for consecutive weeks with not even a positive word such as the famous two words "Thank You".
I'm tired.....
I had this with a company I was working with and I just quit left them and now I’m just working on getting my PMP certification. I understand your pain good luck
