How does a consumer know whether a contractor is competent enough to complete remodeling and repair work? Author Ron Alford provides insights into the four types of contractors in his book, designed for property owners, titled How to Win the Insurance Claim Game (available on Amazon). In this video we review those four types of contractors, Ron's tests of competence, and how the consumer can better protect themselves when hiring a construction professional. This discussion is also helpful to business owners and managers looking to elevate their team's abilities to seek, sell, and produce quality projects.  The water damage response and repair industry has emerged into the consumer discourse. But how many property restoration contractors are aware of the rich history of innovation and collaboration that have laid the groundwork their livelihood?

He also shares principles from his third book, So, You Want to be a Project Manager? The 3 P's presentation reviews the traditional metrics of project management which require an organization to bring projects to completion ON scope, ON budget, and ON schedule. As the discussion progresses, Jon helps owners, managers, and construction professionals better prepare for consistent outcomes with the dynamics of project management. In addition to those core competencies, modern professionals have to always be learning to improve their skills with People, Process, and Projects (The 3 P's).  The two resources that attendees most ask for after the attend the 3 P's of Project Management presentations are The DYOJO Production Sequencing and Project Tracking spreadsheets (see images above). If the reader is interested in these resources they should check out Jon's books, So, You Want to be a Project Manager (production sequencing) and How to Suck Less at Estimating (project tracking). How to Suck Less at Estimating is also a six module course available through Restoration Technical Institute. Contact The DYOJO today to discuss these resources.
Jon Isaacson's attempt to meet an RIA member from every state Tradeshows are an excellent way to expand your knowledge and your network. Industry expos can also be socially awkward. Meeting new people can be harrowing. This is true whether you have been to several large events or you are attending your first convention. One creative way I have found to force myself to meet new people is to try to meet a member from every state at larger industry events. This practice gives me a goal, forces me out of my shell, and has opened up some fun conversations.
