The Simple Communication Trick That Saves Expensive Mistakes
Build Show Live 2026 Registration
Jake Bruton walks through how his custom home building firm keeps communication clear between project managers and the crews executing the work.
On a job with complex finishes like timber framing and multiple siding types, he relies on simple tools like sharpies and cardboard stencils to leave notes directly on the building, along with printed layouts taped to walls.
He also talks about the value of having a project manager or site super on hand daily, and how his team eventually moved to reusable laser-cut stencils for recurring labels like siding types and safety signage.
The goal throughout is avoiding costly mistakes that come from miscommunication on site.
