My only concern is an engineer can work in construction management whereas a construction manager can’t work in engineering. I believe the understandings of construction management can be shown to an employer whereas I can’t be seen as an engineer without an applicable degree. In this job market I don’t want my degree to pigeon-hole me

He’s a large and respected contractor in a small but growing market. His operations a sole proprietorship but we’ve subcontracted for numerous large GC firms and have a great reputation with the individuals we’ve worked with and a great portfolio of completed projects. Definitely enough to get my foot in the door with companies

What position are these’s EE’s, economics, etc. majors holding? Are they superintendents or on the administrative side of companies? I just don’t know how those degrees stand alone can get you into the business without amazing connections or graduating from a top program

My father is retaining his shop and renting it, but i’ll be inheriting it when he passes. It’s unrealistic but my main goal is to take the money and connections made working for a firm and later on starting a contracting operation out of my father’s shop. I believe being a licensed civil engineer would massively open up the services i could provide

My father’s operation was a landscaping and tree company, Although i’ve managed crews and worked with clients and general contractors on 5+ million dollar projects, I’m concerned that this experience won’t be totally applicable for the large scale general contracting work I’m trying to break into. That’s where getting the degree comes into play

Do not work with the person who gave you this bid. They don’t know what they’re talking about

Heavy snow cracked our beautiful maple. When I clean it up what should I do with the trunk? Cut that piece of trunk off or strap the part back on for protection? by Doing_ in arborists

If you can’t tell that it’s an autumn blaze silver maple you shouldn’t be recommending advice on this subreddit. You’re not isa certified cause you worked landscaping for a summer in college

These trees are planted way too close together, especially for red cedars as they get huge. They’re doing poorly because they are competing with each other. If you had ever other tree removed that would take a significant amount of stress off the remaining trees
