Krysta Van Ranst is the CEO and founder of Building PPL, a leading Massachusetts-based construction learning and development consulting firm. In her role, Krysta connects her client list of small and mid-sized construction companies with innovative L&D solutions that begin by investing in people.  After over a decade of holding major titles like Senior Global Learning Specialist for TripAdvisor, Director of Talent for Dellbrook | JKS, and L&D Manager at Suffolk Construction, Krysta wanted to make more space for her family. She left corporate behind to begin her entrepreneurial journey and shift to full-time founder in an industry she had previously planted roots - construction.  In her first year of business in 2020, Krysta translated her passion and sense of purpose in the construction industry to $430,000 in grants for her clients and reduced turnover by 10% for each of her clients. Less than 4 years later, she has netted more than $4 million in grants which will fund training for nearly 3,000 employees, retained 100% of her clients, and has grown the firm from 1 to 5 employees.   When Krysta isn't dreaming up her next change-making learning directive, she's wrestling her 3 boys, reading as many books as possible or going to Broadway shows with her husband.

It's a day off for some construction workers in Massachusetts. WBZ's Drew Moholland has more.

They say the path to success is never a straight line. The road to get there has many ups and downs and is riddled with challenges along the way. And for those who were born with a disadvantage, the journey becomes even more difficult. John Fish grew up with dyslexia and struggled with reading and writing. In spite of having a learning disability, his football coach saw his potential and took him under his wing. This helped John realize that being dyslexic is not necessarily a barrier to success and that he can actually use it to his advantage. Today, John Fish is chairman and CEO of Suffolk Construction, one of the most successful privately-owned construction management companies in the United States. He is also a philanthropist whose mission is to give back to those who can't help themselves. Let us hear from John, as he shares how having dyslexia led him to discover his characteristics that catapulted him to a high level of success, how his company is using data and technology to disrupt the construction industry, and why he thinks supporting the underprivileged is extremely important. Top Takeaways 14:38 Hacks for people with dyslexia to help absorb things they're reading 16:33 Why running a company is like playing in a football game 21:20 The most essential thing about any business 25:56 The biggest accelerator of Suffolk's growth 31:35 What Vision 2025 is all about 36:15 How to find the most productive workers 36:58 The best way to get ahead in life 40:10 The downside of having equity partners 41:11 Why John believes in giving back 41:50 What are the uses of A.I. and tech in the construction management world? 45:40 What is the ultimate goal in the construction industry? 47:14 What does “winning is not normal” mean? Contact John Fish LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnffish/ www.suffolk.com About the guest John Fish was born and raised in a fourth generation construction family. When he was young, he always struggled in school and realized he was dyslexic. His condition worsened as he went through high school and he only learned to read while he was in ninth grade. When John went to prep school, he met a coach who took him under his wing. He introduced John to a tutor that taught him how to read and write. This allowed John to confront his weaknesses and use them to his advantage. John knew that he wouldn't achieve the level of success that he had if not for the people who helped him. John realized that it's now his turn to give back, so when he turned 28, he started getting involved in boards in different nonprofits. In 1982, John's father lent him some money to start Suffolk. The company began to grow pretty quickly as an organization. They eventually worked in the northeast part of the country, grew to the southeast, and then the southwest. And before the year 2000, Suffolk became almost a 2.5 billion dollar business. By 2017, Suffolk had grown to be one of the country's top construction companies, responsible for several high-profile projects such as Boston's Millennium Tower, Encore Boston Harbor, and The Guitar Hotel in Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood. John's awards include, Boston magazine's #1 most powerful person in Boston in 2012 and 2015, and was #8 on that list in 2020. In addition, he was named the 6th most influential person in Boston philanthropy in 2013. The Boston Globe named him Bostonian of the Year in 2015 and 2018. And Boston Business Journal's also included him in the "POWER 50" list.

Home builders are facing all sorts of supply chain issues that are contributing to higher prices and construction delays. Some are hoarding supplies in rented warehouses while others are putting in ghost orders for projects that don't exist yet. Whatever magic tricks they have to perform, they are running into problems right up to the finish line, including the almost impossible task of finding a garage door.Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.No Garage DoorThe dilemma facing builders prompted a recent headline in the New York Times that reads: “4 Bed, 3 Bath, No Garage Door: The Unlikely Woes Holding Up Home Building.” (1) Rick Palacios, Jr. of John Burns Real Estate Consulting told the Times: “Garage doors are a nightmare.”The article says that almost everyone is having a difficult time getting garage doors right now, and that prices have doubled or tripled for those doors. Plus, it could take several weeks to get one. Builders who used to order them a few weeks before a home is finished are now ordering them before they break ground.It's crucial to get that garage door in place. In many places, a new home won't pass inspection if it isn't completely finished. And that brings the project to a grinding halt including buyers who can't move in, and builders who don't get paid.A developer working on one of our RealWealth syndications in Reno says he had to buy a truck specifically to pick up materials wherever they can find them, even if it meant driving to Denver. He says the company he was working with locally hasn't been able to get any garage doors for months now and had to lay off their entire work force. That company is now filing for bankruptcy.In one of our residential developments, our team was able to negotiate with the city to close on the home without a garage door, so that families could move into their home.Garage As a NecessityThe garage is seen as a necessary part of a home in most parts of the country. And with many people moving farther away from cities because they can work remotely, the car becomes even more important, along with a garage to house the car and the garage door. Many people use the garage as their main entry into the home. The Times says that 9 out of 10 new single-family homes had one in 2020. The article had photos of homes that were otherwise done except for the garage door, which is covered with plywood. Some builders are installing cheap, temporary doors until the better ones arrive. But it's not what new homeowners want to see as they do a walk-through.The difficulty getting a garage door is a final gotcha moment for builders who've already been doing a tap dance to get the materials they need. Along with a materials shortage, prices have gone up by at least 50% for most things. Erin Roberts of Ernst Young told Construction Dive: “It's as bad as any time during COVID.” (2)Skyrocketing Prices, DelaysThe Associated General Contractors of America says prices for steel mill products have gone up the most in the last year. They're up 112%. Prices for steel pipe and tubing are up 78%. Plastic construction products are up 35%. Lumber and plywood are up 21%. The list goes on.And then there are the delays in getting those more expensive supplies. Roofing materials, steel bar joists and metal decking are all taking 8 to 10 months. Aluminum windows, structural steel, and metal studs are taking almost as long. Construction Dive says that roofing materials are “as scarce as hen's teeth.”Peter Guffo of Boston-based Suffolk Construction's South Region told Construction Dive: “We're at the point now where we're warehousing materials, and getting them wherever we can. If you have to move it twice, you move it twice.” He says the cost of moving supplies twice is much less than not having those supplies and halting construction.The New Supply Chain SetbackNow, the Russian invasion of the Ukraine is throwing another monkey wrench into supply chain slowdowns. As the U.S. and other NATO countries impose economic sanctions, and global companies cut off trade with Russia, there are new supply chain issues to deal with. (3)One of the big ones is oil. Russia is the world's third-largest oil producer, and supplies about one of every ten barrels of oil used by the global economy. Losing that oil supply is raising the price of oil elsewhere and that's increasing costs for production and transportation. Russia also provides about one fifth of the world's supply of natural gas. Both Russia and Ukraine are major players in the export of wheat, corn, barley, and fertilizer. Some materials and metals used by the semiconductor industry also come from Russia. Flight diversions and cancellations have put pressure on cargo space which is causing new supply chain delays. Those issues may not directly impact U.S. homebuilding, but they add to the increasing complexity of getting supplies produced and delivered from point A to point B at a reasonable price. As Construction Dive points out, “it's anyone's guess” as to when the supply chain snarls will end.ABC's chief economist Anirban Basu says: “It may seem naive given current data readings, but the expectation remains that, at some point later this year, construction materials prices will moderate.” Other industry insiders are not so optimistic. They say they don't see any relief until the end of this year or longer.

How can we use tech to make better buildings and cities in the future? In this episode, we talk to Raja Ghawi from Suffolk Tech about his work investing in technology companies innovating on making construction cheaper, safer, and more environmentally friendly.

Listen to Raja discuss the career opportunities in the construction industry for both tradespeople and technologists, the role that government policy can play in pushing for more energy-efficient buildings, and how to finance the transition away from the status quo. Raja also talks about his own journey into the construction tech industry from growing up in Syria to attending Harvard to working in management consulting to working at Suffolk Construction.

Construction companies and the staffing firms that support them stand to benefit from immediate access to a larger pool of qualified candidates, including the passive job seekers who post about their work on Trade Hounds but may not be actively searching for work on job boards. Skilled tradespeople benefit from a community of like-minded professionals where they can showcase their skills and find new career opportunities. David Broomhead, Co-Founder and CEO of Trade Hounds, said: “It’s always bothered me that tradespeople – the skilled workers who build our hospitals, schools and infrastructure – don’t have access to a technology platform that meets their professional needs. We’ve set out to change this with Trade Hounds. We are proud to be the largest digital platform that aims to unite and empower the millions of proud, hard-hat-wearing workers who are building the world around us.” https://hrtechfeed.com/trade-hounds-raises-3-2m-for-construction-industry-network/ RALEIGH --PeopleFluent, a leading provider of cloud-based talent acquisition, talent management and learning solutions for large and mid-sized enterprises, today announced the availability of its next-generation enterprise recruiting solution.

Hiring Maturity is the Greenhouse methodology for how companies can assess the effectiveness of their recruitment strategy so that they can work to improve their hiring performance and identify areas of opportunities, even when they’re not actively hiring. Guidance from the assessment results empower talent acquisition (TA) teams and business leaders to transform their hiring strategy, and in turn elevate their company’s culture and productivity. By taking the 12-question assessment, companies will receive personalized results with actionable ideas to immediately make a difference in their recruiting efforts. Greenhouse’s Hiring Maturity assessment draws on closed-loop, anonymized reporting data from thousands of companies which has helped them understand the challenges TA teams face when developing a successful hiring process. The ability to benchmark against industry peers and Talent MakersTM provides companies with insights about their own hiring and recruiting workflows and how they can be improved. By recognizing patterns and parallels, teams can identify behaviors to transform recruiting into their competitive advantage. “There are so many teams in the weeds doing the tactical work of making today’s hires. But true, transformational success only comes when you take the time to step back and figure out how to build new, lasting capabilities,” said Jon Stross, president and co-founder, Greenhouse. “We’re using Hiring Maturity as a model to help people understand where they currently are and what they need to do to get better. To establish an efficient and high-performing hiring practice, companies must make intentional changes in every part of the process. Hiring isn’t just a series of one-off tasks the recruiters do. It’s a company-wide competency that directly impacts how your business performs overall.” There are four stages of Hiring Maturity, and the assessment provides insights and feedback in all the critical areas of hiring based on the company’s hiring practices. https://hrtechfeed.com/greenhouse-adds-hiring-maturity-assessment/ ########## Got a project that an HR freelancer can handle?

Listen to this Digging Deeper podcast to hear from Jay Tangney, executive vice president and general counsel at Suffolk, about how the company is actively recruiting and employing military veterans to solve the company's labor needs and create a welcome place for veterans after they serve. Suffolk Construction is a national construction management company that operates 10 locations across the country. Suffolk is creating pathways for veterans to join the construction industry, where they can apply their military experience and succeed.  Suffolk believes the technical skills and training military veterans acquired during their service makes them ideal candidates for construction jobs – including positions as project and safety managers, crew leaders and operations supervisors.  This is especially significant in an industry like construction, which is currently undergoing a labor shortage across the country. According to Tangney, the company's veteran employment efforts have "made a good culture even stronger." Suffolk’s approach to safety and building is defined by real people and real relationships. Like a military brotherhood, Suffolk takes the time to develop personal relationships with team members and trade partners, and fosters a sense of comradery on each project, instilling in everyone the need to work as one team.
