Field Leaders Planning Toolbox
End the Misery of Being a Construction Field Leader
You were good at your job as a tradesperson, and you got promoted â now youâre in charge of schedules, budgets, quality, safety, and everyoneâs personal problems. Youâve probably reconsidered this promotion multiple times and even thought about quitting your job to take a laborer job at a competitor because youâre overwhelmed and feel like a fish out of water.
Youâre not alone. Every day, someone in the Construction industry gets promoted to a field leadership role, and theyâre thrown to the wolves because theyâre not given the training or tools to succeed.
Work is easier with the right tools, and we have a toolbox built specifically for construction field leaders, especially newly promoted superintendents, forepersons, and team leaders (and journeymen and apprentices who want to get promoted).
This training is also affordable and meant for the tradesperson to purchase themselves or for trade contractors to get for each of their field leaders.
Transform Yourself From Reactive to Proactive
Our Field Leaders Planning Toolbox provides you with the knowledge, resources, and tools in these areas:
Weekly Planning
Addressing Constrained Resources
Working with Your Boss
Long-Term Planning
Prepping for a GCâs Pull Plan
Born in the Trenches of Construction Jobsites
Like you, our founder, Jesse Hernandez, was a good tradesperson who got promoted. Then life got toughâhe had no training on how to do his job, causing him to work 18+ hour days, push his crew to their limits, and still struggle to keep up with the project schedule and budgets.
Jesse looked for better ways, and he was able to work a few fewer hours a day, give his crew some weekends off, and get his hands around the schedule. Over time, Jesse learned how to get ahead and achieve the work/life balance that seems impossible in construction.
You donât have to spend years working 60+ hours a week and struggling to find the right resources. Jesse packaged everything into this concise and affordable self-paced virtual training where youâll see these benefits:
- Work normal 8-hour days
- Get ahead on project schedules and stay within budget
- Give your team the resources they need
- Successfully work with your managerÂ
- Feel prepared to walk into the GCâs pull plan meetings
Testimonials
Its like getting a good complete set of socket wrenches and just as valuable.
Great stuff in the videos! This will really help someone trying to wrap their head around how to do this. Also, I am very well-versed in planning and still picked up a nugget.
I appreciated the easy to understand language used in the video as well as the âWhyâ behind each and every component of the constraint log. I can see rolling this training out to a larger group. Thank you for providing this!
I love the energy, language, and the way you explain the value and function.
I love these videos! I really think they are so rich with information, but delivered in a real easy to understand way. I absolutely think that each segment can be used individually by new people and experienced people. I like the way you spell out the details and point out specific pitfalls to avoid. I am definitely going to use the constraint bonus idea.
