Elevate Construction Ep.1125 - All Instructions Are Written and Verbal
In this podcast we cover:
- Why orders must be written and verbal.
- How changes to the plan should be handled.
- Why Supers keep the plan in their heads.
- What the consequences are.
Too many superintendents are sabotaging their own projects without even realizing it.
In this blog, I share a hard truth: verbal instructions alone destroy schedules, disconnect teams, and neutralize the systems that keep projects on track. I break down why superintendents who fail to lead visually are a liability, how ego and significance get in the way, and what it really takes to protect the flow of work. If you want your projects to thrive, you must embrace written and visual communication as the standard. This is a must-read for every construction leader who wants to build trust, clarity, and consistency on the jobsite.
