25 Years, Same Crew: Why Nobody Quits This Contractor
From The Contender’s Edge · 39:01
Show by SMARTBUILD Construction Solutions
Shaun started at GEN-PRO as a labourer in 2000 and became owner in June 2021. In this conversation, he walks through what actually changed: managing four generations on the same crew, why the office has a pool table and an arcade, the 6 am to 6 pm days his father set as the standard, and what it costs to be the person every decision runs through. We also get into the numbers behind the trades right now. $63 billion of infrastructure over the next ten years and an industry already 200,000 workers short. If you run a construction business or manage projects for one, this is the operational side nobody posts about.
