To be a great superintendent, you need training.
Expect more Step up Let\'s go.
That is the measure of success.
Please keep driving until everything on your project brings you joy.
I invite you to learn these, take massive action, and implement each step one-by-one.
This book is filled with principles and actionable steps for Assistant superintendents.
This is the first revision of the book we need and want for our wonderful builders in the field of construction.
Yes, there are books about lean; yes, there are books about Construction management; and yes, there are books about the skills of a superintendent, but there are none that cover the art of the builder in Construction and the back-to-basics fundamental attributes of a true leader in the field.
Before writing Elevating Construction Superintendents - The Art of the Builder, I had never found a book available for the art and form of being a superintendent.
This book will help you to do that and bring respect back to field positions everywhere.
The positions of Superintendents and project managers should be equal, but to be equal, we need to step up and take our place as the driving force of the project.
Right now in our industry, project managers and project engineers are better trained, better paid, and are becoming leaders of the entire team.
However, with proper fundamental training, learning from the best builders throughout history, and effectively using the modern concepts of lean, we can Guide Superintendents to have the best trained role in construction.
Without this, you may become defensive, learn to accept waste and low standards, or even espouse false concepts that will lead to certain failure.
