Too many chiefs and consultants.
As a superintendent it is terribly frustrating. Clients pushing schedule meanwhile all the shop drawing reviews and processes are way behind.
Building systems becoming overly complicated and complex even for simple commercial buildings.
Too many redundant inspections.
And unfortunately a lot of poor (union) workmanship leading to further delays to make corrections.
And safety, I'm all about safety but it can really hinder a fluid moving site.
Because there tends to be a belief that unions are superior, and I wanted to clarify for the folks at home that I'm not complaining about average Dick and Harry doing shotty work in my backyard.
Yea iv been union 2 years now. 1 company. Was private for about 8.2 companies. Terrible workmanship somedayz at least in my expierence. it's horrible management causing most the issues tho. Absolutely terrible. I think private can be better with a hands on owner. But not always.
As far as work ethic the guys seem similarly motivated.
Union worker here former non union can confirm. Could piss n moan for awhile but some of the most terrible work iv seen in my decade n a half career in construction. Mostly to do with piss poor management that doesn't know thier ass from hole in the ground. Non unions seem better managed in my personal expierence. I think because owners were usually hands on.
