Great video! very informative. In NYC I've seen many superintendents out of their role. You have trades people and their supervisors expecting the Super to snap chalk lines and do layouts, lol. This unfortunately happens today especially when the GC/developer goes with the cheapest bid. Another thing, safety is paramount and when there's a safety manager on-site the super wants nothing to do with safety even when they are told of safety concerns. I could go on and on but its dog eat dog and people throwing co-workers under the bus. There's even supers driving telehandlers and forklifts, lol.

Jason, your honesty is so powerful! 🤝 And let the last word be Amen and Amen!🙌🏼

I just ordered all three books of Jason’s. They arrive tomorrow and I can’t wait to program myself with this useful data. I’m a construction superintendent now. New to the role. I started out as a structural welder in NYC. Then I went to Hostos Community College and City College for my bach. Degree in Civil Engineering and then University Of Maryland for my Construction Management. Being a welder to start, I’m still learning as a superintendent, not to do the work for my tradesmen. I’m a hardworker and my thing is “get the job done by any means necessary”. So when I see the guys lacking in a certain area and there’s a deadline we have to beat, I always find myself getting my hands dirty. I guess I do this to show the guys that we are all in this together and I don’t mind stepping down once in the blue to do the dirty work with them. To me, it’s being a great leader. And the guys love and respect that. I mean, it works for me, but I definitely understand what Jason is saying here and I definitely want to find away to get more production out of my guys without me having to step down showing that I’m in this with them. I’m learning so much from Jason. Great guy.

My company just put me on as a superintendent this week. I've been a directional drill foreman for 22 years. I'm feeling so out of my element, but your video is really helps. Wish us luck ! Haha

I find your videos great and educational. I'm going to be heading into a superintendent position in the near future. I'm a bit nervous. Would it be possible for you to create playlists based on the different managerial positions? Thanks for making these videos! They have helped me so much.

My copy of Elevating Superintendents should be waiting on my step after today. Got a big fire inspection in an hour! Gotta flow

"they will accidentally or intentionally finish it sometime" LOL

I just bought your book. I've been having a super long commute to this gonna be perfect time for me to listen to it

Love this channel! Am a PE 2 and need to choose PM or Supt track and am leaning towards Supt.

100% On Point Jason!

As a project engineer I’ve been in charge of all material procurement and wastes. Maybe I have a lazy super or maybe no one’s telling me im the super

Great stuff

Can anyone help me with picking a Laptop?Im a Freshman at LSU and im starting school in a month and don’t know which laptops are good for Construction Management.Please and Thank You

Looks like i be starting as an Assistant Superintendent for a large commercial outfit. I have a extensive equipment operations, communication and saftey background. Im lacking in the actually process knowledge. Recommend me some videos or topics to help me prepare.

Hi Jason, I'm Miguel from local 619 o.g. (547) Do you remember John Presinskas?

I got hired as a super last year. The company had no structure or training. They put me on 4 jobs that had started but were never planned out and were already failing due to years of bad management and lack of planning. All ive been doing for 8 months is running around putting out fires started years ago. Its crazy stressful and Im actually really good at putting out fires. And i have helped save multiple projects. So to say supers shouldn't be putting out fires is kinda crazy. Who should be fixing the crap that others created? Or am i doing a completely different job than a super.
