What Makes the Best Superintendent? In the fast-paced world of construction and project management, the role of a Superintendent is pivotal. But what truly separates a good superintendent from the best superintendent? 🛠️ Industry Knowledge: The best Superintendents possess an encyclopedic understanding of the construction industry. They anticipate trends, adapt to changes, and ensure compliance with the latest regulations and standards. 🏗️ Job Site Excellence: On the job site, they are masters of orchestration. Safety is paramount, efficiency is their watchword, and quality is non-negotiable. They manage resources and timelines with a precision that seems almost prescient, turning potential chaos into a choreographed ballet of productivity. 🤝 People Skills: They are not just leaders; they are mentors, mediators, and motivators. The best Superintendents know that each project's success is built on the foundation of strong team relationships. They cultivate an environment where communication is clear, and respect is mutual. Impact and Legacy: The true measure of the best Superintendents is seen in the legacy they leave on both the physical structures they help build and the teams they develop. They're visionaries who not only foresee the completion of incredible structures but also foster the growth of those who work with them. Recognition of Excellence: How do we recognize the best? It's in the enduring quality of their projects, the loyalty and growth of their teams, and the innovations they bring to every challenge. I'm curious to hear from you! What other characteristics do you think define the best Superintendent? Have you worked with someone who embodies these qualities? Let’s celebrate the unsung heroes of our projects!

The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation. The hand is the cutting edge of the mind.
The boss brings in the work, the project manager assembles the team—but it is the project superintendent who is going to get the project built. The project superintendent’s role in the construction process is a critical one. He or she is the field general, directing tens or hundreds of skilled tradespeople to ensure the timely completion of the project, provide assurance that the contract requirements will be met, and, hopefully, allow the company to turn a profit. The project superintendent needs people skills, technical know-how, and mastery of the carrot-and-stick management approach. These frontline supervisors are always willing to lend a helpful hand or a sympathetic ear, but they are also tough when required, always mindful of the C’s required for a successful project: control over time, control over costs, control over quality. #projectmanagementwisdom

I have been a part of 100+ construction projects. Great Project Managers are: - 1. Master communicators: If you can’t communicate, your jobs will be over budget, behind schedule, and filled with wasted time. Use this simple rule of thumb: When in doubt, communicate. - Walk the job and find the foreman - Make the phone call - Send the email You will never regret it. - 2. Emotionally Intelligent: Emotional intelligence is so much more than knowing how to make people like you. It’s understanding your own emotions. It’s understanding how what you say impacts others. It’s understanding that having empathy is more effective than making threats. World-class Project Managers have world-class emotional intelligence. - 3. Focused on what they can control: 99% of Project managers focus on the 99% of things that are out of their control. Great Project Managers focus on the 1% of things that you can control. - Your attitude - Your effort - Your schedule - Your intentions Everything else is noise. - Being uncommon is how you differentiate yourself and run great projects. Communicate relentlessly, be in touch with your emotions, and control what you can control. Don’t let anyone get in the way of you being you. You’ll go way further.
