Building Teams That Work Together

When planned and managed well, projects will be completed on time and exceed the team’s early objectives. Listening to understand each other and tailoring our team’s approach for each team and project matters a lot. Building a residential custom home differs from restoring a mill building, developing land, or building a school.

Owners, designers and builders need to trust their building team. This is a given for every relationship and every project. We need to fit together and provide our team with the resources and tools we all need to succeed.

We’ve found that communication, realistic expectations, transparent assumptions, teams with the right resources and skills, repetition and simplicity during the process help the construction team succeed.

We’ve also found that focusing on all that is right, having some fun, celebrating the daily and weekly successes, building and maintaining momentum, recognizing the commitment and skill of all that work on each project builds not only the building, but more importantly, the strength of the relationships needed to build every project. Strong teams will overcome challenges and obstacles when they are using their strengths and focused on all that is right, casting aside all that isn’t.
