Tuesday, February 25 | 8:30 - 9:30 AM
LVCC - West 226
What It's About
Most builders depend 100% on trade contractors to get their houses built, and most trade contractors depend 100% on their builders for their business. So why is it so difficult to keep them on time, on budget and the quality of their work up to your expectations? Partnerships are a two-way street, and it might be you who’s blocking the traffic! This session will outline the ten best trade practices learned over the last 30+ years working with both builders and their subcontractors from across the United States and Canada. You'll be surprised at what we’ve discovered and what the best-performing builders are doing to maximize the effectiveness of their trade relationships.
What You’ll Learn
- Learn the single most impactful thing every builder can do to permanently improve their trade contractor relationships for the better (and no, its not different software).
- Discover how top construction managers lead and direct their trades on-the-job to eliminate nearly all punchlists, call-backs and time-consuming re-work, both between critical-path trades and at the end of every project.
- Understand which critical trade/vendor paperwork you may be missing and how its impacting your jobs.
