Treat Your Trade Partners * 1 min Read

What are you doing for your trade partners each job? It’s the little things that show them you care. Have a water cooler on site, hand washing stations by the bathroom, table set up in the shade for lunch. I set aside a certain amount of money once a week to buy the guys coffees, lunch, cold beers, etc. to show them I respect the hard work they’re doing on my project. As the general contractor take time to show anyone who works on your construction project as someone you respect. Alcoate a line item to your budget for food and other expenses to say thank you to the guys on site. If you’re going to build a lasting, winning team with other trades you’re going to have to treat them differently.
