Construction Project Management for 10MM Businesses
Contractor Evolution • 1h 33m
A couple of months ago we did a Project Management Roundtable with some of our highest-performing members in the construction space.
It was so popular and well-received that we thought we would release it as a Contractor Evolution episode.
As you no doubt have experienced, most (but not all) Project Managers in construction and trades are professional firefighters.
This is a problem.
Under-Equipped PMs burn themselves out and eventually hurt morale, but more importantly mismanaged jobs can make or break our year-end P&Ls.
So we put together a live roundtable with Greg Hasler of Hasler Homes and Iain Kent of Eagleview Construction where we discuss their evolution story from chaotic to dialed-in, the systems that have made the biggest difference, and the personality profile of a rockstar PM as well as where you might find one.
Episode Highlights:
- 3 PM 'Red Flags' that will tell you things can be improved on
- What makes a great PM (from the perspective of highly effective contractors)
- How to hold PMs accountable for the results they were hired to achieve in your business (including which KPIs you should be tracking)
- The number of jobs should your PM's be able to manage at one time
- The PM qualifications you should look for and where to send PMs to learn proper PM systems for your business
- The best way to keep your field crews (and your subs) engaged with the PM systems and actually filling out daily logs (spoiler - yes, it is possible)

'You ever heard that quote about the bumblebee flying? The one that goes, “Aerodynamically, the bumblebee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumblebee doesn't know that so it flies anyway.”
