    As part of the newer generation, I understand why this perception exists. Many of us are often seen as lazy or quick to complain when faced with challenges. If you hire someone from our generation, you might expect them to demand a high salary and 5-10 breaks a day to stay motivated.

    We all hear it… “This generation just don’t want to work…” But when there’s an intern out on your job, what are you doing to make them feel welcome in this industry? Yeah they don’t know much. But neither did you when you were starting out… Are “we” as an industry doing what we need to, to attract and retain the next generation?

    When I spent time in a small town in Louisiana I saw little.flags n markings I didn't even know existed! It was scary,not to mention we got a notice in the mail once saying we got a nuclear power plant not too far you get all kinds of warnings,like I needed another cue to get the heck out of there,I'm glad I left ,no offense, its strange place to say the least.

    I was spotting for an excavator and I asked him to “take a little bit,” and then when the bucket was all the way down hearing a loud pop from the line. To add salt to it he knew I tapped the gas. I just wanted to not dig 2-3 feet down to spot the gas.

    I'm a GC and ACM who performs California OSHPD hospital work, exclusively. The design services and deliverables agreements that I have my clients use with the design professionals of record (DPoRs) specify (barring a hidden/concealed pre-existing condition or a contractor-caused problem which isn't the fault of the DPoR and which can take longer to resolve) that with respect to errors and omissions in the design documents, the DPoRs have three (3) Work Days to provide a complete Response to an RFI. In addition, when submitting an RFI we ALWAYS provide "GIVENS" (written narrative, photos, sketches, proposed solutions, etc.) that provide a full context to the "INFORMATION REQUESTED" in order to aid the DPoRs in providing the correct Response as quickly as possible. One other thing - if I ever had a DPoR mouth off like the guy did in that video - he/she would be off of the project faster than the speed of light (Einstein was wrong - there are some things in the Universe that are "faster than the speed of light").

    Include potential solutions in your RFI, but also include why those solution(s) are beneficial to the client, not just what gets you out of there fastest.

      That second clarifier is what makes good contractors great and generates repeat business and word of mouth referrals!!

  • @constructionyeti
    @constructionyeti Рік тому

    RFI writing can be more art than science.👇 For instance if the contractor loads the architect up with 12 RFIs in one day. You know he’s going to answer the 11 non-critical “easy” ones first and the most important one that takes some work will go to the bottom of their list. Managing the Architect’s workflow to ensure you get what you need when you need it can make a Project Manager or Project Engineer really effective. What are some more “art” tips for RFIs?

    • @ericberman4193
      @ericberman4193 Рік тому

      Setting the "rules" for RFIs in the Subcontract Exhibits (e.g., on my projects, the "Exhibit A - Scope of Work" contains a "General Conditions" section (which differs from the General Terms of the Subcontract) that, in part, stipulates exactly how/when RFIs are to be submitted and the 'penalties' which will be encountered if/when those rules are violated. Thus, invalid/nuisance RFIs (i.e., those submitted where the information requested is already on the construction drawings/specs and/or in the trade-specific Scope of Work), incomplete RFIs (no/inadequate "GIVENS" context provided and/or improper/incomplete QUESTION), multiple subject RFIs (the rule is "one subject/question per RFI" in order to avoid delays to the DPoRs Response to an RFI, "RFI blizzards" (where at the last minute, a sub/supplier is either trying to set up or defend against a possible claim for delay), are immediately met with one/both of the following: (1) written rejection with detailed cause; (2) direct discussion with the offending individual - and if that doesn't work then the offending individual's boss - as to the cause for rejection; and, (3) an enforceable $500 penalty (which is spelled out in the Subcontract/PO documents) per RFI. However, the best way to prevent/deter delayed Responses to RFIs is to work closely and in a positive/proactive manner with both the Design Professionals of Record (DPoRs) during pre-construction and construction, as well as - via knowledgeable, proactive project management and project supervision - with the subs/suppliers in order to avoid/minimize the need for RFIs to the maximum extent possible in the first place.
