  • Episode 345 Blew My Mind!!

    I love listening to Eric as a leader in construction. I was taken back listening to Matt. The parent to child relationship between buyer and seller is something I’ve never been able to recognize until now. Game changer.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Apprentice to General Superintendent: 30 Years of Construction Leadership

The hardest lesson was stepping away from direct work, letting the team plan, and having the right level of control to guide without micromanaging.
Estimating: The Art, the Science, and the Risk Margin Contractors Miss
Q: What are the biggest pitfalls you see in how firms approach estimating and pricing?
Many firms fail to include price escalation clauses in their contracts and do not have firm deadlines on estimates.
Estimating: The Art, the Science, and the Risk Margin Contractors Miss
Q: How does better training change how commercial contractors price and plan their projects?

How DPR Develops the Next Generation of Construction Leaders
Q: What advice would you give to a young project engineer or young project manager who comes out of college with a nice shiny degree?

First, I'd say stay away. But then you need a strong schematic architect who can think creatively and a strong civil engineer who understands regulations and can innovate.
