What we cover

We haven't invented a new way to run projects. We just took the time to write down industry best practices and put them together in a simple way that can be delivered in a single day.

We begin our course by discussing the PURPOSE behind the training. We do this to set expectations and encourage participation. Our goal is to set Red Seals up for success by providing potential forepersons with everything they need to organize a project and help them avoid the unnecessary and difficult mistakes that come from the more traditional approach of trial and error.

Documents Planning Layout

The training modules in this section cover technical details of planning a project, including:
  • Specifications
  • How to use drawings
  • How to lay out a project
  • How to communicate with the team and other trades

Requirements - Contractual & Leadership

As foreperson, you are the central point of communication.
This section covers:
  • Understanding & managing your workers
  • Quality control
  • Code compliance
  • Permits & paperwork
  • Safety management

Organization

In this section, we discuss everything from the role of the Project Manager to material handling and organization. We discuss the rights of the workers and review creative thinking and problem solving.

The 'School of Hard Knocks' might build character but it won't make your business profitable.

Most contracting companies don't realize they have a problem until they start losing money on jobs.

Successful contractors take a more proactive approach, investing in their team to ensure they have the tools and skills they need to excel at the job.

chaos & uncertainty

We've seen it too many times in the construction industry:
  • Everyone is doing things their own way, inefficiently
  • Expectations are unclear
  • Specifications are misunderstood or ignored
  • Mistakes are made and costly rework is required
  • Jobs go over time and over budget
  • Everyone is stressed and morale is low...

But it doesn't have to be this way.

streamlined & profitable

Investing in training your team is one concrete step towards building the business you've always dreamed of.

Profit

Avoid costly errors, work more efficiently, improve productivity, and be more competitive are just a few of the benefits to your bottom line.

reputation

Be the contractor that everyone wants to work with and for. Build your reputation for being organized, consistent, and easy to work with.
