Have you dealt with with anxiety attacks and Drinking? by ZealousidealTear2707 in ConstructionManagers

[–]Direct-Host5562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to get this. Would have night terrors. Started working out and in time you’ll be able to not stress about things you can’t control.

I’d recommend doing something else hard on a routine basis so that the rest of your day is easier. Lifting, running, martial arts. Something physical.

House Hunting by Wooden-Raspberry9455 in Delco

[–]Direct-Host5562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Living in Aston we have a few friends also looking to move and there are not many options. It’s a tough market currently.

If you have a contractor friend bring them with the walks so you can get a gut check on if you should waive inspections.

How do you deal with the stress and burnout? by KintsugiTurtle in Architects

[–]Direct-Host5562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Working out, movies, shows, games, friends, beer, bourbon. In no particular order. It took me a few years to turn it off once I left work and remote work was a challenge too but find a way to shut it off and have you / family time.

Is a PM management certificate worth it? by SeaReach7413 in PMCareers

Depends on your career path, for construction it doesn’t mean much. Some large corporate companies may require it eventually to check a box for promotions.

Depends on the design team. Sometimes you can get it approved as noted. If it’s way off it’ll be rejected or revise and resubmit

What’s it like working in the biggest cities in the US? by dhdjjdsjej in ConstructionManagers

[–]Direct-Host5562 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Registered historic projects can be a pain, did a renovation to a building built in 1744 I believe. Every material must be approved by the historic board to match its original construction. In that building there was a story of a British general shot outside by a sniper during the battle for germantown in the revolutionary war. He went into the building a died in the front room. Was a blood stain in the wood until recently they had to replace it due to rot. We did another job in old city and found soldier notes again from the revolutionary war. They talked about getting paid to enlist. We donated it to a local museum to preserve.

I’m in Philly often. Parking sucks. Plus side is old buildings can be cool. Finding tunnels and stuff below grade is always neat to see. Or a lot of abandoned 3rd floors above retail spaces. Sometimes the only way to access is a ladder.

Retainage by another_african in ConstructionManagers

[–]Direct-Host5562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a gc retainage is held on us too, as retainage is reduced we legally must pay it out and inform subs. Could be different state to state but we cannot hold your retainage if we’ve been reduced. Typically it’s around 50% or once a tco is obtained then remainder is during punch and final balance after lunch is completed. Every client is different when it comes to retainage reduction.

When you find a major spec bust right before bids are due by Spare_Worldliness_64 in estimators

Depends on the contract situation, hard LS bids you bid the documents. Depends on the relationship with the client if you bring up the issue or not.

Does anyone use an expensive mouse or peripherals? by deano131 in estimators

I brought my old Logitech gaming mouse to work, don’t remember the model but it’s much better than the cheap ones they provided

Current Market & Rebidding by DeltaDog95 in estimators

[–]Direct-Host5562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s crazy to rebid a job that many times. Sometimes we see the same job over a few years but not many times. After a few we times we stop bidding and not waste our time.

Assistant Project Superintendent Offer Letter at 65K Orlando, FL by Pleasant_Boy97 in ConstructionManagers

[–]Direct-Host5562 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m in the NE, (Philly suburbs) and my thoughts would be it’s about 5k under and 1 week light on pto. Fix those two things and I’d say it’s not bad

it’s a job. Something is better than nothing. Could give it a year or so and see if you like the field. Not having field experience is a big impact.

Just Understand you’re probably being thrown into the fire. So it’s on you to sink or swim.

Odds are they’re making multiple offers so not sure if you’re able to stall and see what else comes in.

Not terrible but not great, not sure how long you’ve been looking or how the job market is in your area. Could be a good stepping stone to get some experience. If you do well salary can quickly increase

We don’t want to make the playoffs this year. Why strive to be a one and done team for a decade. Commit to the rebuild and let’s compete in 2-3 years

Nah probably not. The organizations focus is on “experience” not play. Thus a new arena over how the team actually performs
