Who is Alexander?

The person who can take your construction company to the next level

Instructions, Procedures & Checklists

From the outside-view construction site may look ok, but in fact, it is a constant fight with chaos. There are weather conditions, project documentation mistakes, difficulties with finding getting qualified employees, materials constraints, legal authorities, clients/contractors, safety, motivation and much more.

I am deeply convinced that in construction company instructions, procedures & checklists are mandatory things to normally operate & gain profit.

There is nothing wrong to make mistakes. But it is very bad to do it twice. A checklist & work instructions are the solution. Each not done mistake is saved time and money. By the end of each milestone, the good practice is to append learned lessons to a checklist.

It is easy to demand employees to comply with written requirements than ephemeral ones. If something is not written it doesn’t exist.

From lessons learned we are coming to operational procedures. The idea of operational procedures is to release management from the swamp of micro-management & operational activities. Managers should collect all together & get the job done. But what about your thoughts? What about your vision of the future? Your ambitions? You would achieve nothing if you stuck, stuck in micro-management and operational activities. Operational procedures are the solution.

All documents should be short & laconic. No need to describe how vessels should surf the far oceans. Human memory is not infinite. Do this as you do it for yourself.

Quality that Become Mastery

Why does the Switzerland wristwatch have the best quality? Because of craftsmanship, time, and discipline. The watch will be done when it will be done, quality can’t be rushed. If one piece will fail, the piece of art will become an odd job for the cost of a new car. After failure may the company say about passing mastery from generation to generation? Guess not. That is why the watch will be done when it will be done.

And that is the reason why people votes for mastery with their own hundred of thousands of dollar.
