The Contractor Commute
Ep. 89 - Details Really Matter
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Details aren’t optional—they’re life or death. In this episode, we unpack how noticing (and acting on) the small stuff drives safety, efficiency, and client trust. From bracing failures and near-misses to checklists, job walks, and training your eye, we cover the three common failure modes—blind spots, seeing-but-not-acting, and overwhelm—and how to fix them with ownership, documentation, and team humility. Whether you’re a one-man shop or scaling a crew, this is your playbook for building a culture that doesn’t miss a pawn piece—or a critical step.
