We walk through the full time line of the fire and the fall out post extinguishing of the fire. As we walk through the event Lt Towski gives his insight on what fire services may have been thinking and tactics they used to get the fire under control. Beyond the fire we discuss what are the challenges we as builders and enforcers will face when technology out paces the codes. Enjoy the show!

In this episode of the Mass Construction Show we chat with Chris Brindamour Director of Scheduling at Consigli, Dan Connolly President at Block Builders, and Greg Garvin Pre-Construction Manager at Gilbane. We discussed new Mass Construction Discord Server. It’s a chance to hear from people that are using the platform and to hear what they like, dislike and generally think of the platform. If you’re a regular discord user, new to the platform or like me and you’ve never heard of it…. Then this episode is for you. It’s a great opportunity to hear about the conversations going on in our industry, learn about a new platform and decide if it might be a way for you to improve your career. If you hang on to the end there’s an interesting opportunity that we’re looking at for mentoring so jump off early. Enjoy the Show!

In this episode of the Mass Construction Show Ed and I discuss the perception that the public has about the construction industry and how we can encourage more people to enter the profession. He talks candidly about what the sheetmetal union is doing to raise the bar in the industry and frankly where he thinks they can be better. I think this is a rare and even handed discussion about out industry and the role organized labor plays in the process. We also share our opinions on what I feel is a cringe worthy commercial targeted to construction workers.  Enjoy the show!
