How to Be a Successful Construction Foreman: The ProfitDig Radio Show Episode 6 

Good luck Trey! Be organized in your approach and work hard. You’ll be fine.

Very similar situation as me. I started just over two years ago (I'm now 23) and my current foreman is leaving.

@@brentgus2505 Awesome! Good luck Brent. We are sure you will do very well.

You’ll do great!

Reading this after a year, I hope you've got it covered. Best of luck, God bless you

Great advice, Dan. Thanks for watching!

the crew is HUUUGE. you can be badass and have a bunch of complete idiots working and youll just be stressed and theyll make production slow down bigtime

@@ReggaeRedeemer Yep!

Thanks Low Line!

In the long run, the foremen who provide the most value are the ones who will be successful. Hang in there Zach!

I worked with a foreman as a leading hand just like that and I was keeping the crew moving and organized then the next foreman I worked with was 73 worked twice as hard as me and treated me like I couldn't use a shovel correctly. I preferred the foreman sitting in the office I can tell you that. And tomorrow I start work for a new company and I will be the foreman I still feel like a fish out of water and I don't want to be off the tools so I will be mixing it up keeping my boys motivated helping improve there skills and keeping up on my paperwork to the best of my abilities and I'm only 35yrs old 10 years owning a smash repairs then 2 years in mining and now 5 years in construction.

Hey J, thank you for the kind words! Good luck in your career. Sounds like you're off to a great start!

It's tough.

Thanks for commenting! Construction is a tough business. If you want to succeed, you must strive to come in on budget. And when you don't, you need to be able to look at your numbers and understand what went wrong.

@@profitdig what went wrong yes. But when the GC ask the sheetrocker to double time because the concrete guy was late and doesn't want to pay extra... Or when the painters and electricians are working in the same area... I understand there are expectations and deadlines. Positive attitude in communication and realistic expectation lower stress levels and allow for more fluid production. The business end of this has already ruined the industry. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks SiteCam!

Congrats, Mervin! Thanks so much for watching!

Thank you Brent! Good luck with your new position!
