Welcome to 5 Minute Friday! Where we tell you our best tips and tricks to help you and your team get a little bit better every single week. This week we are going over 3 Tips for Engineers!

1. Call a subcontractor and schedule a field trip, put your hands on it and learn how to build. Be more than a button-pushing analyzer. It’s probably why you started in the industry anyway.
   
2. Stop putting “See Arch” on your contract drawings. Try your dangdest before you do this to make sure you have done your due diligence and have tried to get this scope coordinated.
   
3. Stay humble.

Don't put your glass on the line! In this episode, we talk with Jeff & Ben about a certification program for glaziers and important information for the general contractors who hire them. The North American Contractor Certification Program for Architectural Glass and Metal Contractors (NACC) and The Architectural Glass and Metal Technician (AGMT) Certification Program are focused on not just the company level certification, but individual glaziers as well. "It is intended to provide certification recognition as a means of creating a baseline for competency, business practices, and adherence to industry-accepted guidelines for glazing contractors participating in the program." Not having your building watertight is one of the top litigated issues and one of the largest insurance claims there is. As modern construction continues to grow, we are seeing more & more glass being used. If you ever work with glass, this is an eye-opening episode.
