In this episode of the Elevate Construction podcast, Jason Schroeder tackles a topic that quietly wrecks more jobs than bad weather ever will: communication. He shares the story of ruining his first boss's $24 shammy as a teenager because nobody explained what a shammy was actually for, and then breaks down a real jobsite moment where a simple task like moving two column cages went sideways because the instructions weren't clear enough. Jason makes the case that there is no such thing as overcommunication, only undercommunication, and shows exactly what it sounds like to explain a task the right way. This episode will change how you hand off your next task to your crew.
What you'll learn in this episode:
