From the jobsite
Short walk-throughs recorded on active projects. They illustrate practical lessons and are not identified case studies.
How debris and stored material hide progress and problems, and why owners should set housekeeping expectations early.
Hey there So how many multi -family owners operators tackling big value add projects? Have walked into a job and seen a site that looks like this We have debris piled here waiting for a dumpster. We have some material that was dropped off a little haphazardly we have some material that's in relatively decent stacking and As an owner you walk these jobs and it's just it's beyond frustrating right because it just doesn't give you a good sense of Progress as to how the job is going Furthermore, there's safety issues when you have guys working on the job and they have a section of their project That's just taken over by material.
They have to move it multiple times Unfortunately of this particular project and having a dumpster readily available is a little difficult But it should be at least addressed on a regular basis so it doesn't pile up But you have to kind of let the contractors know that that is your expectation because if you start to let it go too long They start to get comfortable with areas being completely off -limits and if The rest of the site look like this you'd be able to get a good sense as to how the progress is when you're looking At how much work do we have left to do? But then you have areas like this where if you had Debris and material stored in here. You wouldn't know for sure that there's there's a rotten floor right there And you don't want debris piling that up because it becomes a major safety issue So talk to your contractors often is my recommendation and owners if you're not walking the job Make sure you have somebody walk in the job on a regular basis To let the guys know what your expectations are for a clean professional job site so that as you walk lenders partners investors through the job It gives everyone a sense that the project is on track, right?
And from an owner's rep perspective, it makes it a lot easier to identify Percentage complete on these jobs. So that's what I got for you today guys. Good luck
A jobsite example of why speed does not replace field verification of bracing, shear walls and layout.
hey there just checking in I want to remind you that even though you hire a contractor who can do miraculous work I mean honestly you know watching the speed of some of these guys put these buildings up is great however that doesn't mean they're always gonna get their details right so you got to double -check and make sure they're good here's an example so we actually had to remind them about putting these cross braces in this is a pretty tall narrow structure and they didn't put the braces in at first and they went ahead and they sheathed a bunch of it so we had to make them rip off the sheathing and put them back in the other thing was I had to give them a little bit of a crash course on shear wall building so this that's a shear wall right here so this wall is basically gonna prevent the building from like racking that way so we have a pretty solid construction wall here but it also needs to be bolted down all the way down so you know just make sure you're watching the details and some of the other little tweaks that we've had to go back on is confirming measurements in the field to make sure that they have their the walls spaced out the right way and go from there so they might do really quick work but I do recommend you check from time to time
