Communicating Effectively | Communication in the Construction Industry

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Sheet Pile Installation

I went to check out the job site where I'm scheduled to start working this month.

This is a temporary anchor.

So, we're currently driving sheet piles, but there's a discrepancy with the original estimate!!

 

A disagreement arose over which party would be responsible for drilling holes in the sheet piles during the drilling process.

I didn't include that in the quote terms either.

The reason is that I thought it was something a sheet pile contractor or an earthwork contractor would take care of.

On the contrary, the general contractor thought we were the ones who would handle it.

 

It's not that I can't bring you some gas—it's just not my forte.

Since there's a risk of getting injured when I do things I'm not good at, I try to avoid them as much as possible.

Well, if you really insist, I guess I could do it, lol.

This time, we've decided to ask the general contractor to handle it.

Gas Cutting

Actually, that's the better option. If an amateur tries to do it, it'll take more time and cost more money.

If you hire a professional, it'll be faster and save you money.

You really should leave it to the experts, lol.

 

We really should have discussed this thoroughly during the estimate phase.

I should have told you that I was just assuming things on my own.

I realized how important it is to talk things through thoroughly, even when it comes to little things like this.

In the end, I caused trouble for the general contractor, and I’m truly sorry.

Things to Talk About

It’s not enough to simply think you’ve said it, talked about it, or that the other person understands.

It was a day when I realized the importance of speaking clearly, communicating effectively, and making sure others truly understand.

 

See you later.
