kapjamesAudio BookBrand nee to the podcast and already loving your audio book. Thanks so much!

BttbotReally Informative; Well DoneI’ve worked in Construction Software for five years and I’m also going to school for Construction Management. There’s not a lot of people who have the time to really help students understand what life actually looks like in the field and how to be successful. This podcast has been really helpful to me as a student, and as an employee to help me better understand my clients.

Johnny Dangerous 5Question ! ?Your website no longer pulls up (builderstactics.com). What web page are you posting you estimating formulas/tips to? You mentioned in a recent episode that you wound be adding those details online, but where ??? Great show. Thanks.

EishmailFive starsGreat podcast to listen to when you’re homesick! Note: only applies if your dad is the host

Saved98You guys are awesome!I currently work in purchasing for a builder and would love to make my way to the field one day as a CM- love the insight! Thanks and hope you keep up the episodes!

mackkevDon’t waste your time.One of the hosts is unbearable. We all know the type, the safety guy who walks around acting tough, has never run a crew (efficiently), says he’s been doing this “20 years”, but realistically it’s been 2 and he followed his boss around like a dog. They talked about diversity on-site and texts there wife sent, telling guys to wear a hard hat and smoke in the right area… everything talked about is the opposite of a productive jobsite.

Nimai SchaefferThe definitive CM podcastMy new favorite podcast. Covers all aspects of being a CM top to bottom. If you are currently a CM or striving to become one this is the podcast for you.

blcjbbAwesomeI love this podcast! As a buisness owner / Pm/ Super/ Estimator I needed something fresh. Not the same old mondaine, mono tone, class room style PM podacst. I litterally binged this for about 2 months. I highly reccomend giving this a listen. JB - Utah - B logic Construction LLC

ayburkiInsightful entertainment- sponsor worthyI’ve been looking for ways to optimize my travel time between work sites and I finally decided venture beyond Joe Rogan and found your podcast! I work as a Maintenance Mechanic 1 for wa state parks- entry level for the Construction & Maintenance career track and I’m as green as they come. Thank you so much for putting this together and being open to share your experiences. Specifically the bits about writing everything down and learning from your mistakes. It was a relief to know I’m not alone in needing to record everything and that everyone is subject to messing up in their career (new or seasoned). I work with some super sharp minds, so I often feel self conscious about carrying my notebook around and needing to notate or draw diagrams. For you to validate that as a best practice, allows me to embrace that habit without embarrassment. Thank you. I was so stoked when I found your podcast, I shared it to another MM1 who is new to the job in hopes to give them an additional outlet for knowledge and advice. My hope is it will continue to be passed along to others in our agency (or beyond) who are curious or interested in pursuing C&M career track within parks. Please keep the podcast going. It keeps me motivated, light-hearted, and informed on the drive between parks. And I have to admit, it gives me something to look forward to every time I hop in truck. If ya’ll don’t have sponsors, gotta get on that. I want more ways to support this podcast beyond writing a review and sharing. Keep up the great work!

Jurtin70Great show!I love this show, it’s exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for making such a great show!
-
JSharp84Awesome Insight!! Great for someone making the move into managementI have been in the industry for 15 years, mostly on the supplier side. This is by far the best podcast I have found for real life experience. Highly refer this podcast. I hope they keep going, noticed nothing new since December 2020.
-
2Keith11Perfect for Commuting / DrivingThe first few episodes have a couple audio issues, get past it because this is a great show. I have a commute and I listen on the road. I like that these guys keep it light and it’s not just 100 percent facts flying at me. I bought ‘Builder Tactics’ on Amazon, very good read. Short in pages but packed with content.
-
obacker19Entertaining, insightful and actionable! 🙌Whether you’re well established as a construction professional, or just getting started carving out a profitable niche that’s ready to grow - this is a must-listen podcast for you! Damien does an incredible job leading conversations that cover a huge breadth of topics related to the ins and outs of building a thriving business - and life you can be proud of - with leaders who’ve actually experienced success themselves. Highly recommend listening and subscribing!
-
Jay49494949Listening for future reference!Love the podcast guys, have been listening for a few months and binged when I first heard of y’all. Current Navy so I download a lot so I can listen whenever I have time but I want to get our and either go straight into construction or get my degree. Loads of advice and funny conversation, great for anyone in or wanting to start in the business!

ktown builderGreat contentI really enjoy the podcast. I have learned a ton and has helped me stay motivated.

ThunderboltpowGreat podcast howeverThese dude are good but they have a touch of ADD and deviate off topic a lot. I don’t have much time to listen to filler. I wish they would enriched there show with more productive information.. if they run there jobs like they run this show. We wouldn’t have houses.. this isn’t me being a jerk just calling a spade a spade.. I’ll still listen cause it’s entertaining sometimes..
-
KopijoFinallyThis is great content, and it’s like hanging out with friends. I’ve been looking for a podcast that actually feels like a podcast with the fun and natural conversation, and has valuable construction content. Thanks guys for putting this together!
-
Bobb231Awesome podcast!Good work on the podcast guys! I’m currently a senior at George Mason University and I think it would be awesome to have you guys possibly come by to talk with our CMAA student chapter! Our student advisors contact information can be found by searching ‘GMU Christopher Reseigh’, is post it directly put I don’t want it displayed to everyone! Looking forward to possibly meeting! Leon
-
blablablooeyFantastic resource for CM professionalsThese guys not only know their stuff, they know how to present it in an enetertaining and digestible way. Every episode has multiple useful takeaways. I just started listening last week and I'm currently episode 32. Crossing my fingers that the intro music sound level gets fixed soon! (Thumbs up)
-
Shizipe!From ShipeI just can’t read Jeremy’s stupid review at the top of the list any more. Here’s mine: Damien and Jason are obviously smart and handsome. Great content. Did I mention smart?
-
jremy540DancerAs a fetish dancer myself I am totally on board with what these two say. Keep grinding that pole boys
-
HajvskGreat PodcastI’ve jotted down a ton of notes from you guys experience and tips. Every episode is valuable. I’m just starting out in the industry, made it to my first year mark! Managing multi family, and commercial projects. I’m excited to listen to what else you guys have in store. I would like to hear about the process from start to finish of building from the ground up. All the little details that play a major part. From rough grading, installing the wet/dry utilities, etc etc. Also would like to know how you guys stay fired up to tackle project after project. Thank you!
-
Andrew FuchsAppreciate you guys!I really enjoy listening to your guys podcast! It’s an easy listen to and from work or job sites and provides some insights that have helped me navigate the construction industry. I started listening back in October when I made the decision to quit my 6 and a half year career as a CPA and join my family business in commercial general contracting. Even though you both are in residential building you do a great job applying your knowledge to the overall industry. I have a huge knowledge gap that I am attempting to cross over that often times makes me think I am insane for attempting this transition from accounting to construction but this podcast has been an amazing resource over the last 3 months in helping me bridge that gap and giving me hope that this crazy transition will be worth the hard work at the end. Really appreciate your guys efforts to share your wealth of knowledge!
-
Rene TineoVenezuelan in ChileLooking for something different to be my companion on metro rides found you guys. I have been in the Construction Business for 30+ years, and sincerely, so far the information you have been sharing is flawless, easy on the ear, and helpfull. Keep up the good work, we will be listening, and recomending your podcast. As often heard in the show, you guys are doing an “Awesome” job.
-
Benner42Extremely HelpfulGreat information, excellent presentation and good sound quality!
-
build in PANo matter how much you think you know....No matter how much you think you know, it’s always a good idea to listen to other experienced people whenever you can. These guys really do a great job at going into many aspects of construction management and can give some great insight on overlooked areas of building. I have loved listening and adding their knowledge to memory, even as someone who has been working in the field for a decade. There is always more to learn and these guys are the best of the best when it comes to talking CM.
-
ThaDrywallGuyGreat construction podcast.Great podcast with a lot of good information and entertaining personalities. Would like to hear more love for drywall and paint!! PS. Hosts definitely have faces for radio...
-
Captain0312Keep up the Great Work!Great podcast for anyone interested at a glimpse into construction from those who do it on a daily basis. I have been in commercial construction going on 10 years and wish I found something like this podcast earlier in my career to help provide the insight needed to help become a better construction manager sooner. Very informative, useful information, that from experience, is reliable for application for those within any construction market. Great content, keep it up!
-
chancemcflyMany Thanks!Hey! I’m a recent member of the construction career train. I got into this by happenstance and I’m forever thankful for the opportunity I’ve been given by the construction company I work for. Despite the fact that I’m not in residential construction as of now, I just wanted to say I appreciate all that you both do! What advice would you give to someone who’s getting into road/bridge construction? Would you suggest residential over this area of construction? How do you recommend I gain experience in residential as I continue in the field I’m currently in? I’m only 8 months in so I’m excited to learn all I can. Thanks guys, Chance P.s. is there a way you can make your audio louder and lower the volume on your intro music? Blows my ears out every time the podcast begins/ends.
-
felenes48Ideas and love your podcastI love the podcast! And actually implemented the important, urgent, not important and not urgent method and man it helps! But I’d like to hear you guys get other project managers from different type of construction like commercial tenant improvement. Then discuss how each niche in construction has its challenges. Also I think it would be cool to talk about change orders too, with challenges with that. I’m a project manager in Los Angeles doing tenant improvement in high rises and if you guys need a guest CONTACT ME!
-
nychog147I listen a lotLove listening .... I am trying to get into the administrative side of construction I been in heavy construction for many years but find it hard to get calls back from employers
-
Batson. CAmazing ShowListen to it go from site to site as often as I can. Really good tactics and advice to apply to day to day of construction management, Whether commercial or residential. Throughly enjoy listen to this podcast.

stewy42Extremely helpfulAwesome real-world advice to excel in construction management. Relates to day-to-day construction management.
-
stells23Great if you’re starting in the industryGreat stuff guys! I love the little details that I may not learn in class. And i personally learn better by hearing examples of a particular situation so you guys sharing your experiences is appreciated. Keep it up and I’ll keep listening. And thank you for not being boring haha
-
andrewschwartzGreat podcastI’m a junior project manager in the NoVa area as well. I just got into this field 6 months ago so I am still learning the ways of a project manager but these guys have been so helpful in my development. Thank you for making your content free.
-
Joe DiedenhoferGreat Resource!Thanks for doing this! The information is great. I’ve worked three years at a construction nonprofit in the DC area and have just been hired on as an assistant site superintendent. This wisdom is definitely helping me to improve everyday! Would love to hear about certifications that are worthy of pursuing. Right now I’m considering LEED GA.
-
Mr.OdiesGreat PodcastThe knowledge is very good and the examples provided are extremely relatable. I enjoyed listening to it because it makes you think about what’s done on the Job on a day to day basis. I’m mainly working on heavy civil construction jobs but some of the information is still really relevant. Keep putting out great content guys.
-
T-MAC WingSlayerCompelling and RichI work for a pretty big homebuilding outfit in the Northern Virginia. Just started following you guys, and this will definitely be my early morning commute go to! I told my dad about this podcast who has no concept of construction (Retired General) except for knowing that sticks, and concrete go into building homes; he was like these guys freaking rock! A ton of solid knowledge in these episodes. Keep the stellar episodes coming! Taylor M.
-
tdieatenOn Point. Relevant and useful.It has been rare to find Tradesman willing to take time from a busy workload, willing to learn and mess around with podcasting, seemingly motivated to freely share their experiences with the self-educating. Keep up the good work, I’m taking notes!
-
McsocomMonopoly on the riseI find myself looking forward to listening in on these guys podcast show. They share there experiences stories and charisma in such an entertaining and educational manner.

Keep up the good work
