GC's worship schedules. That's a given. What separates the good from the bad are those who are willing to build a positive relationahip with their subs and are willing to understand their needs and meet them.
I am a superintendent in New York City. I found this video very valuable! Thank you so much.
Your humbleness makes it a lot easier to understand what your talking about. Thank You!
Hi sir,
finally I'm writing my thoughts down here. Your channel has really inspired me. I spent a whole day going through your videos when I was preparing interviews for a site engineer role abroad, I'm soooo excited about this role. Even though it is true, I didn't realise how much this industry is worldwide saturated more importantly, how this has an effect on the everyday life of Indian engineers I grew up in India and 7 years before completed my B.TECH(CIVIL- ENGINEERING) and now I am doing normal civil engineer job in india !! This is so embraced and I feel this is a headache I still can't move abroad
I am trying it. I want to encourage Indian engineering students, especially those from the Indian community and with lack of English barrier and also it being their second language, to follow their dreams to become an engineer in Abroad.
Only one chance to give me I will perform definitely
Loads of respect Tim ..being a carpenter stepping into building custom homes on the beaches of Maui and now stepping out of my comfort zone having one hotel under my belt I’m learning every day at 55 ..keeps us young facing new challenges and feeling like we are contributing to not only our own success but the success of others .
I am preparing for my first role as a superintendent. care to share some advice and some things you learned moving into a new role yourself?
Enjoyed and learned. Thank you for the terrific step by step on how to be successful at being a super.
Pushing with just the right amount of force while maintaining thorough communication is key to all aspects from rough end to finish. Ive learned presence and diligently taking good notes within a calendar application can really ease the load. Great video and content guys!
I am moving from CI to a superintendent role in the upcoming weeks. Documentation and note taking are something I certainly do well of. Any of advice you care to share ?
@Josh-fz9rh How you making out as superintendent?
Thank you Dan,Tim etc on a thourough Superintendant overview courrse! I am hoping to start as Assistant Super soon on a Apartment Highrise so all the insight and terminology will be helpfull!
I have been a residential super for 3 years. I am now a new commercial super and this video is a great help.
I have been a residential super for 7 yrs. I have an opportunity to be a commercial super, very excited but very scared and unsure at same time.

Great video
Thank you for sharing info.
Great speech!
Thank you for the video... Great information
So glad you liked it. Thanks for commenting!
Yes now I am finally able to be like Superintendent Chalmers
It is a great video, thanks for sharing your techniques, and how to approach professionally., And like you said a the beginning, make friends, being transparent is part of that key to a successful completion of a project.
Excellent Video! Forgive me for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Weydaniel Organized Dominator (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a great one of a kind product for getting 7000 plus project management and business templates minus the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my old buddy Taylor after many years got amazing success with it.

Thank you
Great information!
Same roles apply for nyc ? I've been in the construction field for 7 years and I'd love to become a superintendent
very good lesson
Very good information dear Sir
Thanks
Does a superintendent need to be highly proficient in all trades essentially? Or have a rough idea of how long each trade should take for any given project?
Carpenters make the best superintendents because they gain experience working with all the trades throughout jobs.

I worked for Hoffman in 2006. I am on my first super position. though I don't know if I would have had the opportunity if I had stayed in the union.
I am also a superintendent with a background in the union...and you're right. If I hadn't taken a risk and left the union, my career progression would have been MUCH slower! Good luck to you.
You wouldn’t have. Unless you’re related, or have your nose way up someone’s ass. I got out after a PM’s daughters 25 year old boyfriend with 3 years experience got a super position over me. I get more outside as far as wage and benefits, and no political bullshit.
@@i_am_a_fungi I am preparing for my first role as a superintendent. Anybody care to share some advice ? Coming from construction inspection.
I am a journeyman carpenter, done it all from building custom homes to commercial building and building schools for prevailing wage,any tips in how to get your foot in the door as assistant
jc818 818 School... I did trade work for 12 years before I started my construction management degree. After a year in school, I land an assistant super role making 90k on 20million dollar projects.
Richard Mills I’m a Super and don’t even make that! What company was that for?
@pilgrimconstructioncompany5075 it's funny just by dumb luck I came back to this video,just got my first assistant job no school needed just hard work 85k starting with benefits that total 109k

You still in construction?
Too bad there is no closed captioning. Volume turned all the way up and I can't hear a word he said
Where can I attend superintendent training?
NWACC has the best construction management program
How and where do I take classes to be a superintendent??? I'm in Sw Ga
Move to Northwest Arkansas and go to NWACC.
Good
First thanks

Dan Seydel, Creator of EIW Contractor University I would like some handouts too.
Don't forget to yell "Seymor"
I’m a Union Concrete Finisher. To become a super I see it’s rare as a finisher. Can it still be done? It seems only carpenters move up in ranks. Great Video!
Luis V - I started as a landscaper and now I’m a superintendent! Anyone can be anything they want ! You just got to want it and go for it !

ditch the union
I started as a non-union electrician, then as a union laborer followed by union pipe fitter and finally non union millwright. Hunger for constant growth has pushed me forward. Ive done many carpentry side jobs through out my life aswell. Ultimately, i think it all boils down to understanding the process from start to finish and being diverse as a professional within the trades. Carpenters move up because they deal with all the trades, from building forms for concrete to communicating with fitters and hvac guys according to prints to ensure openings are kept through drywall or concrete to allow the run of service for piping or duct work. Once you get in deep enough as a skilled multi craftsman, adversity and challenges are the only thing that keep me going. Best of luck my man! Im still new to the title and honestly it doesn't seem to burden me at all. Research all you can!
@@trollin456 accurate point of view. You can't deliberate when you don't know things work. Thanks 😊
You need captions
