One
of the
other
jobs and
goals
of a construction
superintendent
is to
work smarter
-- and
not harder.
One
thing
that a
construction
superintendent
has to
be able
to do
is to
communicate
his expectations
effectively.
Every
subcontractor
works
differently
from the
others
based
on the
direct
communication
from the
superintendent.
On a jobsite,
the construction
superintendent
also has
to set
very high
expectations
with all
the subs.
So a good
superintendent
is always
reinforcing
quality
standards
and expectations
during
conversations
with the
subs.
Some
construction
superintendents
don't
like to
give praise
to a subcontractor
who does
a good
job, but
they really
should.
Subcontractors
like to
hear a
kind word
every
now and
again.
Subs are
human,
too. A
good superintendent
never
tries
to teat
them as
a lower
class
of person
or worker.
The
subcontractors
are paid
to do
quality
work,
but if
they go
the extra
mile it
is always
OK to
say, "Thanks!"
Those
construction
superintendents
who get
the best
results
are the
ones who
have a
great
relationship
with all
of the
subs and
other
workers.
The very
best construction
superintendents
work with
everyone
the same,
and strive
to develop
a good
game plan
to build
the highest
quality
buildings.
I
could
not survive
a week
without
my construction
superintendents!
