Summary
In this episode, Jason dives into a critical issue in construction: having the wrong trades on your team. He explains why the key to success in pre-construction starts with choosing the right trades and trade leaders. If you're struggling with trades who aren't performing, it may be a sign of a failure in the pre-construction process. What you'll learn in this episode: Why having the wrong trades signals failure in pre-construction. The importance of pre-qualifying and interviewing trades before selection. How to align trade partners with your project's goals and culture. Why a good pre-construction system sets the project up for success. How the Bioscience Research Laboratory project demonstrated the value of the right trade selection. Are your pre-construction processes strong enough to ensure you have the right trades on your projects?
