Brush up on Construction Terms
One of the easiest ways to become more confident in construction is to understand the language being used around you. I put together a short-form Construction Terms playlist where I break down common terms you’ll hear on jobsites, in meetings, and while reviewing drawings — all in quick, easy-to-digest videos. Whether you’re new to the industry or just want to sharpen your knowledge, this is a good playlist to keep handy. 🎥 Check out the full Construction Terms playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf64IRoZSETPXLg54Tz-9ITtUxx8jMUFb What construction term should I break down next?

Let’s Talk Submittals 📋🏗️
You’ve probably heard, “Check the approved submittal.” But what are you actually looking for? Submittals help the project team review proposed materials, equipment, and installation details against the project requirements. They connect what’s shown on the drawings and written in the specs to what’s being purchased and installed. Watch this video with your role in mind—whether you’re reviewing documents, coordinating a trade, or checking work in the field. 👇 Have you worked with submittals before? What part of the process would you like to understand better?

Want to Become a Construction Estimator? Here's Where I'd Start! 🏗️
If I were starting my career in construction estimating today, there are five skills I'd focus on learning first. And surprisingly, estimating software wouldn't be at the top of my list! I just released a new YouTube video where I share what I've learned from nearly 20 years in commercial construction, including my experience in project engineering, estimating, field operations, and quality control. In this video, I cover: - 📐 Reading and understanding construction drawings - 📏 Performing quantity takeoffs - 🏗️ Understanding how construction work is performed - 💰 Learning scope and pricing fundamentals - 💻 Using estimating software and communicating your numbers - I also share how I'd spend my first 30 days learning estimating if I were starting over. 🎥 Watch here: https://youtu.be/8OojbiiIrvI I'd love to hear from this group: Are you currently working in estimating, trying to break into the field, or looking to improve your skills? Drop a comment! Your responses help me decide what training and resources to create next for this community.

Concrete Takeoff Masterclass | Free Infographic
Here’s the infographic I mentioned in my Concrete Takeoff Masterclass YouTube video. Download it below and keep it handy as you follow the walkthrough or work through your own foundation takeoff. It covers my six-step process, from understanding the project to checking your quantities, along with common misses like match lines, special conditions, and foundation notes. The idea behind it: Before I count quantities, I count conditions. Knowing what you’re measuring comes before measuring how much. What part of a concrete takeoff would you like me to walk through in more detail? Leave a question below. Watch The Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUVCGY-zWy4
