Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
The other day, I had the opportunity to speak with a supervisor at a major company.
In that context,I really don't want to go to a NEXCO construction site!
We had a blast talking about that lol
The content was very similar to my own experience, so I could really relate to how you felt!
When asked what the biggest problem is, they say it’s definitely the construction management handled by subcontractors.
I'm well aware that NEXCO itself is arrogant, but the arrogance of the construction management team is on a whole other level lol
He’s all groveling in front of the NEXCO employees, but he really gives the subcontractors a hard time!
If someone leaves a particularly bad impression on me, it’s practically bullying. It seems that bullying occurs when people use their titles as a cover.
The site representative is putting up with it, considering it just part of the job, but,
Construction contractors like us, who are first- and second-tier subcontractors, are naturally affected by this as well.
As long as quality control isn't finished, the as-built inspection is stuck waiting. And yet they're telling us to hurry up with the construction, lol.
"The mixing temperature is 5 degrees or lower, so you have to remix it." (The temperature keeps dropping rapidly while I'm there.)
Meanwhile, the drilling stops and the casing gets jammed, lol.
Well, I’m fully aware that construction management is important. However, if we don’t take the site conditions into account, work on-site will come to a halt.
They act like they don't know anything about the delays caused by construction management. If things come to a halt, it's the contractor's fault.
NEXCO employees are probably unaware that this is rampant.
After all, the situation on the ground is being made to look as if everything is proceeding normally.
I think that if this situation improves, operations on the ground will be carried out more efficiently and accurately.
You're not saying we should cut corners on construction management; rather, you're trying to say that letting personal feelings get in the way of management leads to problems, right?
There are plenty of times when I think, “You can’t really say it like that, can you?” lol
If you keep talking and acting that way, NEXCO project bids will keep skyrocketing, and more and more construction companies will want to avoid them as much as possible.
I'm sure it's actually on the rise (though a company I know has flat-out said they won't work with NEXCO, lol).
I went to a NEXCO construction site up north a while back, and man, it was a total mess—the subcontractors were just awful, absolutely awful. (Of course, there are some good people too!)
He's really full of himself, and when someone tells him something he doesn't know, he gets annoyed and starts talking harshly, lol.
So, when I asked a local contractor, it turns out that local contractors don't take on NEXCO projects.
In fact, contractors are coming in from other prefectures. That just goes to show how much NEXCO is disliked.
From NEXCO’s perspective, though, they might think they don’t really need contractors like that to do the work, lol.
Is this the time when I need to work on improving my physical condition?
I suppose the companies that can reliably carry out NEXCO’s construction projects will inevitably become major general contractors.
That said, even the construction manager was a victim of extreme workplace harassment...
We’ve now entered an era where even clients are being chosenIs that what's happening?
With a shortage of contractors and supervisors, and the client side facing a string of unsuccessful bids, where is this all headed?
In that sense, it seems to me that we’re entering a difficult era.
The days of placing all the blame on contractors are well and truly over, aren't they?
I suppose this is where the times are changing.
The future of the construction industry looks promising! And I hope we can keep steering it in the right direction!
See you later.
