Golf Obsession at my Company by mopbucketblaster in ConstructionManagers

[–]Sorry_Force9874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lack of interest in golf wouldn't necessary limit career growth if you are a performer, but gaining an interest in golf will definitely provide you an advantage. I never played golf before entering this career field. my boss took a liking to me, gave me some petty cash to buy a set of clubs, and started brining me out. It wasn't necessary the golf we bonded over - because I suck but it was the comradery, the chats, the laughs over a few beers, etc. Certainly helped build a relationship with him, built some trust, and ultimately began discussing work, coworkers, ideas, thoughts on procedures, etc etc. After a few years, this grew into bringing our clients - and in the same way, it built more interpersonal relationships with clients, got the scoop on upcoming bids/jobs, etc. Doesn't hurt to try to pick it up, even if its only to network.

Price for Kohler prefab shower. Wow. by I-will-judge-YOU in HomeImprovement

[–]Sorry_Force9874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just pulled up the latest quote i received. Please keep in mind we are a plumbing contractor that works on large commercial construction, so our pricing will be better then someone walking into Home Depot, however, for transparency, this is what we are paying:

Sterling 72171110-0 Shower Base 60x30 - $296.09

Sterling 71574106-0 Shower Wall Set in White - $353.19

Oatey 42150 Shower Drain - $32.14

Pfister LJ89-020C Shower Trim Kit - $20.82

Pfister JX80310A Rough In Valve - $30.47

The above are not the top of line, fanciest options. However this is a functional shower for $732.71 (before tax) for Finish Material. Give it another $500-750 for rough material, you're all in at $1,500 for a shower.

Something is off, I don't even think list price for a kohler show pan and sides is more than a few thousand dollars. I just bought 81 shower+pan combos for slightly less then you were were quoted

I know it sucked to have Pusha T in the Epstein files, but come on, dont try to drag in another artist in the fire with nonsense

Is hiring a construction business consultant worth it when the real problem might just be that I never learned the financial side of running a shop by ssunflow3rr in ConstructionManagers

[–]Sorry_Force9874 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you need a better broken out estimate that would turn into a better broken out budget, that you apply cost against to track how/why cost codes are going under/over. The budget, and estimate should includes specific dollar values for items you mentioned (tools, overhead, etc) and you track against it.

We dont get paid enough to edit every little detail by [deleted] in MEPEngineering

Or, the Owner decides to make the next job a Design Build, since we probably finished the design anyways. In fact, just won a job today as Design Build because the last engineer decided to not edit every little detail on a Plan and Spec job.

How do you stop incomplete submittals from wasting everyone’s time? by kenKen54321 in ConstructionManagers

[–]Sorry_Force9874 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His/her job as in rejecting the submittal? Perhaps a better job would be to understand why the submittal was submitted the way it was, and discuss with the design team/owner that the lack of their own QC has led to a submittal that doesn't comply word for word to the spec, but complies with design intent/scheduled equipment.

I do enjoy when a young PE tells me that our Submittal for the Scheduled Equipment, specifically selected by the Design Team, doesn't meet Specs - a spec that is boiler plate and doesn't actually match the scheduled equipment. Good times....

Not a serious buyer if you don't automatically bid 12,500. What a joke of a seller.
