@@fightingirish8584 no, i did bricklaying few years ago but inly for a year. So i learnt the basics and technique. But i am starting an apprenticeship that has to do with roadworks and i think construction sites.
It is VERY rewarding to see a project from start to finish. I started as a pipelayer doing storm pipe and moved into operating heavy equipment within a year. As I moved out of utilities into heavy dirt work as an operator, I can tell you every project you do is rewarding. Eventually as I became a Superintendent, the stress & responsibilities increase but it is worth every minute of it.
Is the same as being a general contractor ? I’ve worked with my dad on Residential homes remodeling them & I’m trying to study that in college but I don’t know if I’m about to apply for the right thing or not..

No there is a construction management program both bachelors and masters. Do that you’ll start as assistant site super or project coordinator. Then you’ll have to climb the ranks
Good construction superintendents are worth there weight in gold especially if they can move projects forward toward completion
I couldn't agree more.
Thank you! Great insight into the position. Must watch for people looking into a job like this.
I am a commercial construction superintendent in San Diego, CA. I love my job. Started from a labor, carpenter.
Is it hard?
@@ajharmiah2692 it has its challenges, but with experience and having a good team, makes it easier.

Sounds incredibly stressful yet rewarding.

I want to go into construction management, but could I start off as a construction superintendent then work up to project manager?
4 years university for Bachelors in Construction Management.
PM and CS are on the same level, some senior superintendents earn more than project managers.
Superintendent isn't entry level
You can obtain a CCM cert. with some experience you may be able to supplement that for a degree
What if you are already a crew leader would it be recommended or would it be a good idea to become a track home superintendent?
thanks for posting
Great video, Thx! Whats the best way to break into the field with limited experience?
Airport Chronicle's get experience
