The Lie of Being Unique: Why Construction Keeps Reinventing the Wheel Let's bust a myth that's quietly killing our productivity in construction: “This project is different.” In this eye-opening episode, Jason challenges one of the most common (and dangerous) beliefs in our industry that every project is so unique it can't follow a standard process. But what if that mindset is the very thing holding us back from stability, repeatability, and excellence? He shares: A powerful question from his CEO that sparked this whole reflection. What software, lean systems, and builders like Hensel Phelps already know. Why thinking you're unique can tank your schedule and lead to chaos. The truth about production systems: different buildings, same process. Whether you're a superintendent, project manager, or craftsman aiming to level up, this episode will shift your mindset and sharpen your focus.   If you like the Elevate Construction podcast, please subscribe for free and you'll never miss an episode.  And if you really like the Elevate Construction podcast, I'd appreciate you telling a friend (Maybe even two

•   I went to Kent State University in Ohio. I'm from Ohio originally. And my junior year, I interned for a general contractor, Hensel Phelps. And immediately I was like, what am I supposed to wear on the job site? Like I'm a 22 year old. I think I was 21 at the time actually. Going into the construction industry for the first time, I have no idea what to wear. So I ended up just getting like Levi's jeans, and it worked out. I finished my internship, got a full time job offer. And so I finished my senior year at Kent State and moved to Washington, DC to work for Hensel Phelps full time. And the same question popped up. What do I wear? So I continued to wear these jeans. I tried a couple different workwear options, including little boys pants. I just couldn't find something that would fit me. Those still didn't fit. So I decided to start Dawson Workwear to help out other women that struggle with this like I did. (01:34)•   Yeah, so I've kind of worked for both. So now I work for a small firm. But back when I was working for the GC, I was on one job site every day. And my job was mostly like coordinating with our trades people. So our subcontractors, overseeing them, if they have an issue, you know, I track it down to help them figure out what to do, how to move forward. Is it mainly residential? Or were you doing like, what type of projects? I was doing commercial, I was building a radiation lab for the government. It was a renovation project. So I really love renovations. That's what I'm doing right now with the development firm Orchestra Partners. At Hensel Phelps, we had our own craft people. So we did a lot of our own self-perform concrete. So I would help draw it up for them. So they basically drawing it so they can go out and build it, simplifying drawings from the architect and the engineers. So that was my favorite part, you know, interacting with the trades people, learning their backgrounds, learning skills from them. I was always like, hey, put me in, I'm here to help out.  (04:58)•  So quality is a big thing to me. And then the fit is obviously the most important. Like, I wanted it to be a high rise, you know, mobility, a little bit more room in the waist. So you're moving, your pants are moving with you, there's no gapping in the back. And then I also wanted them to be made in the USA, just kind of to tag on to that quality aspect. I wanted to have a lot of control over the development and the production of it and, you know, pay my workers a good wage, a livable wage. So that was important. So how did you go from Okay, so you got the prototype, you know, you tried it on, how many times did you have to go back to fix things before you were like, okay, this one's ready to go? Yeah, so we went through two samples, we got the first one so close that it really wasn't too hard to perfect it. But and then as we're now live, I'm taking feedback and we'll just tweak our tech pack to incorporate any changes that we need. Yeah, the tech pack gets you pretty close for the first sample. And they might just be like, hey, I want this pocket to be a little bit bigger. Hey, let's change this small, minor details, stuff like that. And then now who's making the garment for you? And how is it getting to the customer? They're made in LA. And then they're shipped to me here in Birmingham. And I kind of run my own little shipping department out of my guest bedroom in my apartment.  (11:00)•  So for the financial aspect, just find someone that believes in you and believes in your product, and that will help you get started. And then luckily, I'm at the point where my profits are going back into the company. So I'm not being paid at all right now. I'm just using this time period to invest in my product and come out with new products. And I also had to teach myself like marketing techniques, I had to figure out like my kind of market and how I could best advertise to them. So I've turned to social media, I think it will be the best aspect for me. And then the production was all new to me. Fashion design is all new to me. So it goes back to finding mentors in those areas that can help you through it. Has there been, you know, any one specific person or one specific like software or things that, something that you've done that you're like, this really, really helped me figure this part out that I didn't know how to do? Google is my savior. YouTube. Yeah, YouTube, Google, and then my production managers are super experienced as well. So they've kind of helped me, you know, tune in my pricing, where I need to be with that. And then just like, kind of customer support is also a tricky one. So they've helped me with that as well. So they're my go to if I ever have questions or anything like that. Who are those people? Are they somebody that, if somebody else had an idea, would you share that? Yeah, it's called The Accessory Think Tank. Oh, cool. Yeah, they do a bunch of different products, I'm their first workwear products so we've been learning together, which is nice. We can lean on each other for support. But they're awesome.  (17:08) ABOUT MORGAN DAWSON:Morgan graduated from  Kent State University in 2020, receiving her BA in Construction Management.  From there she moved to Washington DC, and spent two years working for a  general contractor as a field engineer.

In this week's episode of the Future Construct Podcast (1 hour interview), we are excited to feature Joseph "Roee" Shua-Haim, Founder and CEO at Hathaware (@Hathaware). He graduated with a B.S. in Civil Engineering from the Technion Israel Institute of Technology in the summer of 2016. After graduating, Joseph moved to NYC and began his career as a structural engineer. Soon enough, Joseph took on an opportunity to shift into project management in RE development. Since making the shift, Joseph has managed over $85M in ground up developments.At Shadow Ventures, the focus is on investing in startups in tech-nascent markets where strategic capital is scarce. Their process and closed ecosystem of entrepreneurs, investors, designers, and developers are driven by both experience and technology to radically change how startups start and investors finish. In Part 2 of this podcast, we are excited to feature Thai Nguyen, Director of Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) at Hensel Phelps (@HenselPhelps). Thai has more than 20 years of experience in the architectural and construction industries. As Director of VDC, Thai drives the innovation of construction processes for Hensel Phelps, one of the United States' largest employee-owned general contracting firms. In this role he leads VDC initiatives for all of Hensel Phelps' district offices, managing a team of more than 80 individuals. This team provides company-wide leadership in VDC systems, tools and processes. They continually expand the use of virtual design and construction tools within Hensel Phelps, and within the Architecture/Engineering/Construction (AEC) industry.Highlights of Joseph and Thai's interviews with host Amy Peck (@AmyPeckXR) include:The evolution of what's being built and opportunities for mid-size companies to bring technology in and improve processesHow Joseph's developing Hathaware based on insights from conversations with customersSome of the unique challenges of bringing in new software to a large companyTalent out of the BIM world that's leading innovation, and how that may be causing a shift in new innovation roles within Hensel Phelps and other companiesSHOW NOTES 0:50  Amy Peck introduces Joseph "Roee" Shua-Haim, Founder and CEO at Hathaware.10:31  So you're here and you've created this software, you're in the accelerator program now. Where do you see the evolution of what you're building, and some of the opportunities for mid-size companies to bring technology in and improve their processes?13:25  So you also mentioned another thing that can be a trap the founders often fall into, which is too many bells and whistles, trying to make things too fancy and future rich. When you're talking to customers, what are some of the things you're hearing that are informing how you're developing Hathaware?21:18  Amy Peck introduces Thai Nguyen, Director of Virtual Design and Construction at Hensel Phelps.27:10  You mentioned some of the unique challenges of bringing in new software to a large company. There are a lot of legacy systems. Is part of your job just understanding how are you going to be able to bring in new technology and what systems do you need to alter or change to allow for all of this new technology?39:28  Your CIO and CTO are two completely different functions. I've seen this pattern of talent out of the BIM world, that's leading innovation. You're comfortable on a job site. Have you seen a shift in that, because having a CIO or CTO is pretty foreign to our industry?

In this episode of ReEnergize, Steve interviews Grant Lebahn to get his insights on strategy. Grant worked for Hensel Phelps, managing strategy and operations for 21 years before founding Resource Gravity, a business designed to guide organizations to success in the construction industry. With his background, he is able to provide a unique view on strategy for the listeners. While strategy may be dead without finance, Grant emphasizes that strategy is also dead without framework. This framework must be built around trying to best serve the customers rather than trying to beat the competition--your strategy should be derived from individuality. With Grant's insights, we can learn how to find value within our businesses and personal matters to elevate every life they touch.http://signup.benchmarker.pro/Click here to visit Coltivar on YouTubeSupport the show (http://www.stevecoughran.com)

Richard Lopez is the National UAS Operation Executive with Hensel Phelps Construction Co., an employee-owned company founded in 1937 that over the last 80 years has grown to be one of the nation’s most recognized general contractors, serving both public and private clients. Richard leads the implementation of new sUAS technology, software, and advancements at Hensel Phelps to increase efficiency and safety on the jobsite while providing valuable information for forecasting, recordkeeping, and as part of the procurement effort. In this episode we go through all the steps it took to launch a drone program in both the risk averse construction industry and the strict regulatory environment of the 333 exemption era. Since then, Hensel Phelps has evolved its drone program into an example for the entire construction industry to follow. Just recently it received the first-ever waiver to fly over people with the aid of a parachute from the FAA. After hearing Richard talk about what he and his team have done with drones over the last few years, we think you’ll understand why they were the first.

3 Important Lessons To Share With Your Team! 1) Adversity is inevitable in the construction industry. As a leader, you must take a step back, look at all of the information, and create a plan of team cohesion and empowerment to turn frustration and finger-pointing into forward action and success! 2) How well do you know your people, both personally and professionally? Taking the time to have open and honest dialogue with your team members will help you tailor your leadership approach to their needs, resulting in higher job satisfaction, lower turnover, and increased employee effectiveness! 3) Be yourself. As you push for ever-greater heights within your career and leadership role, it is helpful to remember where you came from, what makes you unique, and to stay grounded through all the ups-and-downs/success and setbacks you will continue to face to make smart decisions. Introduction The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics states that there are over 150,000 unfilled construction jobs. The AGC of America found that 73% of firms had a hard time finding qualified workers. Building a strong team has never been more important and hard to come by. Today’s guest is Jim Pappas, VP and district manager of Hensel Phelps. Jim joins Sue Dyer in Episode 4 of the Construction Dream Team Podcast to discuss leadership and what his company does to lower turnover and keep their employees for life! The following show notes are a transcription from the audio segment recorded between Jim and Sue. Please subscribe to our FREE newsletter to never miss an episode and receive helpful information on exactly what you can do to build your dream team! Jim Pappas’ journey into construction Jim grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and loved architecture. He attended Purdue University and was fascinated by all of the tall buildings, feeling that he knew what it took to design them but had no idea how to actually build them. Jim transitioned from civil engineering to architectural engineering with an emphasis in construction management which brought him to Texas where he was hired by Hensel Phelps. Jim has since traveled the country and learned a lot about construction and how we do it across our great nation. Hensel Phelps has a vision of building iconic buildings across the country. Their employees are passionate about building great things and working with great people. Jim’s Most Challenging Construction Experience Jim doesn’t view any experience as his “worst” because he believes that it is necessary for someone dedicated to their career to go through adversity in order to grow and become better at what we do. Jim’s most challenging project was a beach-front resort in Florida. The project was 4-6 months from opening and one Saturday Jim got a call saying there was a flood on level 8 of a combination condo-hotel tower that had flooded down all 8 levels into the garage level and water was running onto the street. There much frustration and sorrow amongst the team and completing the project on time was going to be a difficult task. Jim and his team were working 7 days a week, double shifts. Fortunately, the project opened on time and everyone learned a lot in the process, but having that setback happen 4-6 months from opening was heartbreaking. Leading a Team through Adversity As a leader, it is important to take a step back before making decisions and take information in. You can wonder what you did wrong or what you could have done differently, but that doesn’t solve the problem. You must accept that you are where you are, and gather your team together to begin addressing the issue. In Jim’s case, they contacted the owner with the building’s risk insurance. He then assembled a team to do an assessment and figure out where they needed to go from there. Some people pointed fingers, trying to blame those whose fault it was, but they had to put that aside and come together to focus on the mission of opening on time. Customers had already booked rooms and conventions, and so the team gathered together and developed a path forward. It is important to empower your people and show them what they can do to make a difference. How does Hensel Phelps keep their people? It starts with doing the right thing. Hensel Phelps is founded upon employee ownership; we share the gains of the company at a level that other companies do not. We incentivize people in two different ways: financially and with the idea of employee ownership and the culture it creates. People realize that their success is often based upon the people they are training; not only what they do themselves, but who else they can train to replicate their job. It creates a culture of ownership and personal involvement. We have a great thing going and want to keep it going. Creating a Culture of Ownership Any great culture is created through a shared sense of responsibility. Hensel Phelps employees take ownership of their jobs, even it means staying after hours because their focus is on the project’s requirements and not themselves. We motivate people to be a part of the bigger picture; that their job is more than just a paycheck and that their project is more than just a building. For example, building a hospital is important for making people healthy, so opening on time makes it so that more people in the community can be healed and kept healthy. The impact of our employees’ work spans far greater than just a paycheck. Effective Recruiting and Onboarding Hensel Phelps’ recruiting process starts with an initial campus event (if recruiting a college) and interview. We then bring them to a job site and show them presentations about what Hensel Phelps is about. It’s a courting process where we don’t just choose our hires, they choose us as well. We typically have five senior-level staff interview the people we hire, ask different questions, and see if prospective employees are a good cultural fit. We then onboard them and go through different levels of training and teaching throughout their careers. We have a leadership development initiative program, an emerging leaders seminar, and a women’s leadership seminar. Our leader management system offers three types of training: one-on-one, self-directed, and classroom training. We’ve developed these systems to teach technical expertise along with our culture and company history. We transfer folks, even on a temporary basis, in order to share and display our culture throughout the country. We are a large company, but because of how tight-knit our employees are within the culture, it feels like a small company. Right now we have about 2400 salaried employees and 1200 craft people. We have 8 different districts, a service group, and a development group. Leadership Development Hensel Phelps develops leaders through their Leadership Development Initiative. This program is for people who have spent 5+ years with the company. We support specific trainings that are soft-skills based: accountability, managing change, communicating effectively, coaching and developing people, and having difficult conversations. We started a doing a survey of all of our employees every two years and use that data to analyze and see where people are at within their careers and what some of the lessons are. There is a lot of technical training within our industry, but there is very little training about relationships and people. We learned that in order to succeed, you have to know your people and develop them into effective leaders. We spend a lot of time working to increase the interpersonal skills of our staff necessary for project success but not necessarily related directly to engineering. What can you do to create a team and culture like Hensel Phelps? Do you know your people? Do you know what motivates them? Do you listen to what they say? People don’t quit their companies, they quit their manager. You should know where each of your staff is at personally and where they are at within the confines of the project because those two aspects intersect. If you don’t know what’s going on personally, it will affect the job site. Getting the best out of people is often doing what’s best for them overall. We review our employees twice per year and go over their needs and progress in detail. We want to challenge managers to turn B-level employees into A’s and challenge A’s to take the next step and opportunity. What is the Best Advice Jim Pappas has Ever Received? Jim says that the best advice he has ever received was to be himself, to continue to stay involved and be challenged. Always reach for more, but don’t let it change you. Take what you’ve learned from other people and channel it into how it works for you. Don’t try and be someone that you aren’t; be the best you that you can be. It is also important to stay present. Construction is a very busy industry and it is easy to get distracted, but wherever you are, you need to be there and be present to make a difference. Resources For Listeners Hensel Phelps website: www.henselphelps.com BecomingYourBest.com: Steven Shallenberger has developed the #1 Leadership Program in the world to empower your group with the mindset and skillset to become great leaders and build high-performing teams. Parting Advice Know your people, but also empower them. See what they can do together. We can do more together as a group if we can be open and honest. Also, don’t lose hope when you may have an owner that is against it; always do the right thing. We hope you’ll join us next week for another exciting and informative episode if the Construction Dream Team podcast with your host Sue Dyer!
