We have conflict daily on job sites, but what is the best way to get a resolution? You should have a goal keeping things out of the courtroom at all cost. Eddie drops some biblical knowledge on how to best approach resolving conflict. It's based on Matthew 18:15-20. If you're interested, here's the scripture he's basing it on - 15 “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.  Thanks for joining us this week!

Tim is the director of offsite manufacturing for Factory Blue, a prefab company based out of Fort Worth, Texas. Factory Blue specializes in bathroom pods, multi-stall bathroom pods, prefabricated elevator units and other specialty pieces that are architectural in nature. We dive into the logistics of installing prefabricated bathrooms into a terminal at DFW airport, what they mean by prefabricated elevators (which is sick by the way), and some of the unforeseen things that happen when you're installing things on site. We walked away with so much food for thought after this episode, and we know you will too! Relevant Links Factory Blue WebsiteTim's LinkedIn Please consider subscribing!

These things take practice, but they are all qualities you should strive for as a leader.  - Show your humanity. Don't be afraid to show your emotions. - Remember the golden rule - Make others successful, and you will be successful. - If you're offering a reward, make sure it's in reach and winnable. - If you want good performance, pay well. Be there waiting with the check when the job is finished and people will love you for it. - People want to be heroes, not villains. Credit to Lee Evey for helping us out with these tips!

Lien's are common in the construction industry, but what the heck are they? How can you use them to get paid as a sub-contractor? We break it down for you and give you resources to better understand this valuable tool. We invite attorney, Karalynn Cromeens, writer of “Quit Getting Screwed” and more recently "Quit Getting Stiffed" to teach us all about Liens and how you can use them to get paid as a subcontractor.  Tyler Asked -  - What is a lien?  - Why and when were liens invented?  - Give us some history  - Why are liens needed in the construction industry? - What rights do contractors have to collect their money without a lien?  - How can contractors use their lien rights to combat the pay when paid clause?  Also, guess what!?

LinkedIn is one of our favorite platforms to post on. It's relatively easy to get organic traffic for your company page or personal page. Here are a few tips you can implement this week to start slaying LinkedIn.  - If you have people you can tag, make sure you tag them. This is a free boost on your post. Just make sure that you’re not spamming people, and if you tag them it’s legitimate. For example. You worked with a project team that did a great job and you’re proud of them. Take a photo, and tag everyone that is in the photo, their businesses, their mom, their dad, their auntie. Everyone that would love to see that photo. Boom. Who needs to boost with money.  - Video is the king. If you can, make sure you’re posting videos. They have a tendency to get more traction than photos. Also, pro tip. Make sure you’re wearing PPE. For some reason, when I wear PPE in my videos it grabs the target audience's attention.  - Use the featured section! Go to your profile and click on the “Add section” button and enable the featured section. I want you to show off your highest performing post first, and then a link to any relevant projects or businesses that you’re a part of. and then some social proof (if you have it) that you have a legitimate offering.

This is the second part of our conversation with the Program Manager of the Pentagon Renovation, Lee Evey. Our guest, Lee Evey, was the program manager of the Pentagon Renovation from 1997 - 2002. When Lee arrived on the Pentagon project, it was in chaos. He tells us about how he got offered the job, his first day on-site, and how he was able to rally the troops around one singular purpose.  Here are some facts about the project -  - $1.22 Billion budget from congress to renovate all 5 wedges of the pentagon - 25,000 people working in the building, who could not be disturbed. - 4,000,000 lbs of asbestos per wedge - A national tragedy happened on site.  You’re going to hear very little from us during this interview. We were so interested in what he was saying, we just let Lee go and tell us what he wanted to tell us. When you get in a room with someone like Lee -- You shut up and listen. Thanks for listening!

We’ve been producing this podcast every single week for almost 2 years. Fun fact, though, before we started The Construction Brothers, Tyler was a marketing nerd. It’s been a passion of his for quite a number of years. Because of that passion, he gets asked a lot how people can best market their construction company, and there’s one piece of advice that will change your entire business.That’s what Tyler’s talking about today.It doesn’t matter how much knowledge you have of video, photo or graphic design. Or what trade you work in, within the construction industry. Follow this advice, and you will get results.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
