Construction Brothers

Our society has an addiction to growth. This week we're diving into our experience growing a company and the pain that is introduced when you pull that trigger and try to scale. Questions to ask yourself: Why do you want to grow?

• Is it become more wealthy?
• Is it because that’s what businesses are supposed to do?
• Is it pure vanity? Just to show it off?
• Is it for the challenge?

We're revisiting the question - What comes first, the Lego bricks or the Lego master?  The modular construction movement is trying to figure out this very same issue. What comes first, is it the modules or the modular design? Construction already uses modular or unitized building materials as its basis for the design. Whether you are dealing with literal brick, lumber, plywood, or piping we use predictable sizes and shapes that complement each other and fit together well.  The big question is, how do we encourage more companies to go into modular building components? Eddie and Tyler dive into an interesting discussion this week based on a blog post Eddie has been working on.   Thanks for listening!

Eddie gives us a challenge for the coming week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Messer Construction has been a huge part of our family for generations. This week we sit down and talk with Tim Steigerwald, who is the President of Messer. During our chat, Tim shares the methods they use to recruit talent. The primary way they do this is through co-ops. If you listened to our episode with our Grandpa (Pop) and Dad, they both talked about how they came through the Messer co-op machine and how it was a massive aid to them becoming the builders they are today. For people trying to build their company, this is a super valuable episode.    Thanks for listening! Please be sure to leave a rating or review and follow us on our social accounts!

We hear people say "If we could get closer to owners, we could help them so much!" all of the time. This week, we sit down with Nate Patrick, who is a Project Manager from Penn State to discuss what a day in his shoes looks like. The purpose of this conversation is to open our eyes further to what's going through an owners mind. How they operate, what they care about and how we can best serve them.   Thanks for listening!

We have conflict daily on job sites, but what is the best way to get a resolution? You should have a goal keeping things out of the courtroom at all cost. Eddie drops some biblical knowledge on how to best approach resolving conflict. It's based on Matthew 18:15-20. If you're interested, here's the scripture he's basing it on - 15 “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.    Thanks for joining us this week!
