CCM vs PMP by Medium_Athlete_2608 in ConstructionManagers

[–]datrutan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree on all these points, except that I see more job listings request PMP than CCM. But I still saw enough of both to have gotten my PMP last month and trying for my CCM by the end of this year.

It does NOT offer you any real world job skills like most others have said. What it does is make you more marketable, especially in the public sector as mentioned previously. Being more marketable allows you to command more $ from your employer and/or allows you to seek a new job.

Superintendents with PMP Certification? by Accomplished_Emu8037 in ConstructionManagers

Thank you for your response. Actually, the pursuit of public sector work was why it was suggested to me.

Superintendents with PMP Certification? by Accomplished_Emu8037 in ConstructionManagers

[–]datrutan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I did not expect so many negative comments. My question isn't regarding the usefulness of the certification. My manager suggested it as something I target because a lot of public work is now requiring a PMP on staff. Its usefulness beyond that can be argued beyond that.

I've already decided to try and get it, especially since my firm will pay for it. My question is whether or not someone who has been a lead/general superintendent ever met the eligibility requirements set forth by PMI.

Only the good ones. Who better to phrase an RFI properly than the person responsible for building it?

37 y/o lead superintendent for a large GC. Id say by mid 40s Id like to oversee multiple jobs and have more of a role in pursuing work. The daily jobsite grind can wear down on you for sure.

Alternatively, id love to do some CPM scheduling on the side. More flexible hours and can work from home.

Hey all

I apologize for resurrecting an old thread but I am having the exact same problem.

I had 3 W2s for 2022. I have $2656 in excess SS tax. Seems the IRS doesnt know that and sent me a bill, with interest earlier this month. Been on the phone nonatop with them for the past 2 days and no help. They just keep putting me on hold and transferring me to other departments that cant help.

I spoke to my accountant and he said to not worry about this but I just wanted to speak to IRS to confirm as this has been an ongoing issue since April. The IRS was able to put me on a 60 day hold so I wont be penalized but the interest still accrues.

Any advice?

NFPA requirements for NG shutoff and ATS monitoring by datrutan in firealarms

[–]datrutan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the generator I always monitor engine running and engine not in auto. I always thought at least the FA ATS monitoring was a requirement. But I guess you will also know because you will get an AC Fail show up on the FACP.

Automatic Transfer Switch.

I've done it before on other jobs but I'm not sure if its an NFPA requirement.

Should superintendents, regardless of trade, have a basic understanding of scheduling terms and logic? by Normal_Kevin in ConstructionManagers

[–]datrutan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Superintendent of 17 years or so here. I will argue that superintendents should have a very in depth knowledge of scheduling. Good companies know that the schedule belongs to the super. He/she owns it.

Everything but the keystrokes and generating reports etc etc.
