3-minute self-check
Ready to be a super?
14 quick questions on the role, planning and scheduling, running field labor, leadership, the cost of lost time, handling changes, and keeping the paper trail. Pick what you'd really do on a normal week.
This is a self-check to help you see what to work on. It is not a test your company uses, and it does not decide anything. Nothing you pick leaves your browser.

Building the super base
0 / 42
You know the field. The super job is less about doing the work and more about running the whole job: schedule, trades, time, and paper. All of that can be learned.
Next steps:
- Ask your super to walk you through how they build the look-ahead.
- Write a daily report every day for a month, even if nobody asks for it.
- Track one crew's hours against what got put in place for two weeks.

- Put every change request in writing the same day it comes up.
- Offer to run the next coordination meeting with an agenda.
