Hey construction workers, what do you think I should do about the neighbors work that's going on?

Neighbors are doing a room addition plus new garage. Stucco has been left on our property in the backyard daily. Not that bad of a thing because I get they don't have access to our backyard and its not to much of a deal to clean up myself. I finally got mad about it and asked a few of them to go clean it up at the end of the day. They told me they'll get it tomorrow, ask them again after pointing out a few soda cans that where laying on the lawn from them and they said again tomorrow. On top of that they left wash out in the curb and gutters halfway through the block and that stuff is caked on there! Even more!, they had a dump truck there for dirt and left dirt all the way down both ends Of the block. Need some opinions, should I just bitch out the contractor ? Or should I call city and state boards on them? Because it feels like blatant carelessness like they have gotten away with that many times before. I also live in a Suburb of LA, they take that shit serious over her

MBE for Construction Management Firm Start up ??

Hello all, I am currently starting a GC/CM firm with two friends of mine. We are all a couple years shy of 30. I grew up in a construction family with my dad owning a successful GC. His company is SBA certified (<$36mm annual volume). I have worked in construction pretty much all of my life (from general laborer for commercial to working heavy highway in the union for two years) and ended up getting my degree from an ACCE accredited university. I interned for 2 years at a large subcontractor (~$100mm annual volume), post grad I have worked at one large CM firm (>$11b annual volume) and one medium size firm (~$300mm annual volume). I was always more interested in the business aspect of industry and have studied it hard. I have worked relentlessly in trying to gain knowledge of what works at the large firms, what works in the medium firms and what works at a small firm. I know that what may work at a large GC may ruin a small GC and vise versa. So, we are going to tailor our oper

Chevy’s Silverado RST Off-Road combines street looks with trail capability

Unveiled as a concept truck at this year’s SEMA show , Chevrolet says the 2019 Silverado RST Off-Road is one of many ways owners can customize its latest model flagship pickup. Though it’s called a concept, it’s not that hard to create one of these bad boys for yourself, given that you’ve got the cash to do so. The truck is built around the new Silverado RST trim which provides “sporty, monochromatic” styling and a cold-air intake system for the 5.3-liter V8 under the hood. On top of that, Chevy has added a new Off Road Appearance Package that will be offered through dealers. This includes a sport bar, off-road assist steps and a soft, roll-up tonneau cover. It also has the following Z71 equipment: Rancho monotube shocks, hill descent control and skid plates. Chevy has also equipped this truck with a 2-inch suspension lift from the factory, a 40-inch LED light bar and off-road sport lamps by Baja Designs, and 18-inch off-road wrapped in Goodyear trail tires. The RST Off-Road on t

BKT announces “ag-centric” tire production plant in the U.S.

BKT tires on an articulated hauler. BKT Tires expects to break ground on a $100-million plus tire production facility next year, according to a report in Tire Review . Arvind Poddar, chairman and managing director of parent firm Balkrishna Industries, announced the project during the 2018 Tire Industry Hall of Fame, says the trade magazine. The plant’s location has not been announced, although the company is undergoing talks with officials in several southeastern states. The facility would be the first U.S.-based plant for the firm, which currently makes its agricultural and off-the-road tires in India. Arvind Poddar, chairman and managing director, told Tire Review the plant would be “ag-centric,” producing radial tires for agricultural applications. The company expects to eventually produce 20,000 metric tons of tires annually at the U.S. plant. “There’s a big opportunity in America, so why not come closer to them and give them more,” Rajiv Poddar told the magazine. “And of c

What CRM does your company use?

We are a relatively new framing company looking to change CRMs for the upcoming year. Not really knowing the value of a CRM to a construction company we just bought one thinking they all did the same thing. Boy were we wrong. The one we currently use has a difficult interface to maneuver and the resource management/team building aspects are a nightmare. I want to hear your opinions on your favorites to avoid shopping around and sitting through tons of demos. submitted by /u/LoopedSpoon [link] [comments] from Construction https://ift.tt/2DTIWqU via Handy Rep Ai

How Can I Improve as an Estimator?

I work for a grading contractor and have been given a new role as estimator. It's been about 1 year. I climbed my way up from being an engineer doing dirt takeoffs for residential projects using Trimble and Carlson Software, creating CF maps, and doing geotech report analysis, etc. The sector I am estimating in now is smaller scale civil projects that have a mixed bag of earthwork, pipe, and concrete work. My VPS told me this would be a good starting point into estimating. Reflecting on the past year, I find that my problem is with this new role my lack of experience in the field is a major handicap as I have a hard time knowing what kind of equipment and crews are needed for a project as well as reasonable productions. I don't want to make a mistake in my bids and I truly want to be a good estimator. But, should I first venture into the field or am I able to overcome these challenges? My company has given me a lot of opportunities to get to this point, but I wan thinking

How to deal with different pay cycles on one job

On the project I am on right now there is a small town framing contractor who said that he doesn't have the overhead pay his framers if we paid him on our normal schedule of once per month. He is asking to submit a pay app and receive payment every two weeks even though all of the other subs submit and receive payments once a month. Would we pay them out of our own pocket and then get reimbursed from the owner when they pay us? How do I show this on the G702/703 that I send to the owner? How common is this? submitted by /u/jbchenault [link] [comments] from Construction https://ift.tt/2TYKndj via Handy Rep Ai

Damaged Joists in Basement Ceiling

I'm about to close on a house in Philadelphia, and there is some termite damage to the joists in the basement ceiling. I have had 1 contractor tell me that to do it correctly, he'll need to rip apart the first floor to get to those joists. Another carpenter has said that it's not necessary. Anyone have any recommendations for carpenters that can guide me through this? There are around 8-9 joists from a little over 30 that are rotted away These are the pics: https://imgur.com/a/wM1fiyA These are a few videos: I also added some videos here: https://streamable.com/m0tmy https://streamable.com/zzhr2 https://streamable.com/4kipe I'm planning on parging the basement walls as well to keep the moisture in. submitted by /u/rjhav1025 [link] [comments] from Construction https://ift.tt/2TWHAkV via Handy Rep Ai
