The Construction Life

By: Manny Neves
  • Summary

  • What is The Construction Life? The Construction Life is a daily routine of waking up at 5am, working out, showering, preparing lunch, sending off the family, driving to the construction site, organizing and preparing for the day's work, building, having fun on the job, wrapping up at the end of the day, returning home, spending time with the family, and preparing for the next day. It's a lifestyle that involves a constant commitment to hard work and a love for what you do, and it's never about settling for "good enough." The Construction Life is about striving for excellence every day.

    Sep 18 2024

    In this episode, with the help pf Jonathan, Erica and Nick, we dive into the evolving world of construction, exploring the path to becoming a project manager (PM) and what defines a great one, including the blend of leadership, communication, and technical skills required to succeed. We also tackle the hot topic of artificial intelligence and its potential impact on the workforce—will AI replace workers, or will it create new opportunities for collaboration? The discussion moves on to compare traditional construction methods with modern innovations, examining how technology and new materials are reshaping the industry.
