-: Obviously I'm biased but I don't think
there's an industry out there quite as unique
in the sense that, you know, construction is,
every project's gonna be so different
and every stage of each project is different in itself
so there's never you know, you might have a few weeks
that might be a little monotonous like you're trying
to get all your submittals in for approval or
close out or whatever but it's still
everyday is gonna be different and there's so many
unexpected things that happen on top of that too so,
you really just kinda have to go into it
with a positive attitude knowing that things
are gonna go around.
Especially on bigger jobs where, you know,
it might take three or four months to acquire,
you know a specific type of stone the owner wants
or you know steel or concrete, those are all long lead items
that you need to arrange well in advance and a lot of,
you hit a lot of bumps along the road in those
procuring the item.
You know what we might be installing like a steel staircase
or whatever, you know that steel has to be milled
and actually manufactured then it gets to, you know,
someone to weld it and assemble it
and then it gets sent to our galvanizer,
who'll hot dips and galvanize and then it gets sent
to a delivery company so, there's so many steps
in coordinating that and creating a seamless transition
that seems to be the biggest difficulty, but then you know,
you develop relationships, you find those people
that you can count on and are trust worthy and
you really just develop this intuition
on how things are gonna go you know.
You know electricians have a different reputation
than steel erectors or, you kinda just learn
how different trades interact and you develop
a sixth sense almost on how to deal with them.
So it definitely is a little rough upfront
but you get used to it and you learn quickly so.
