Construction Problems Often Start Before Mobilization

Field teams are often expected to solve problems they did not create.

Bradley Henderson recently surfaced a frustration many contractors know well: breakdowns between planning and execution.

• formal turnover meetings
• early superintendent involvement
• centralized project documentation
• standardized handoff checklists
• pre-mobilization risk review

Ground Truth perspective:

The strongest contractors do not rely on informal handoffs.

They build operating discipline between estimating, operations, and the field.

Execution problems rarely begin with the crew.

They usually begin upstream.

Question:

What handoff process actually works in your business?
