About the show
If you have too many overqualified workers, too many construction projects, and too much profit, this show is not for you.
But, if you have even an inkling that improving your Workforce Management can improve your specialty contracting business, you’re in the right place.
Welcome to the CONSTRUCTION IS HARD podcast, presented by RIVET.
We cover:
- How to visualize WFM inside a variety of contractors.
- How other contractors resolved problems with changing structures, roles, process, and tools.
- What you can expect to gain, like raising entire company-profit-margins, saved time, and recapturing value from field leaders.

Team Buy-In
Getting buy-in from contractor back office teams to make a change can be daunting. But what’s the risk of not making the change?
Brian and Gary discuss adopting Workforce Management transformation among construction contractors and the importance of team buy-in, with new co-host Dustin Acker, RIVET Implementation Manager. They share insights from contractors that have captured the power of the labor operations process and the power of RIVET, how labor requests impact project budgets and a team approach to Workforce Management.
“Contractors that have made the change are kicking ass — their profit margins are up, their efficiencies are up, their productivity is up, and they have fewer employees.” — Gary Fuchs
They break down creating an executive vision that can be shared with the team and how to map objectives to the vision for a successful implementation.
