On a construction project concrete often drives the schedule. From providing the slab for construction to begin, and closing the project out by placing curbs, sidewalk, and other site concrete so landscapers can button up. Keeping a project on schedule and providing quality concrete starts with a good concrete crew.<\/p>\n
The best crews consist of well-trained tradesmen that take pride in the work they do every day. The True Plane culture is based in high standards that does not allow for mediocracy.\u00a0 We treat each other with respect, value quality communication and a shared work ethic, and do not use manipulation or fear tactics\/mongering to run crews. Mutual respect for every person on the crew regardless of their skill level is a must for the team to work effectively. Creating this type of culture requires setting aside \u201cego\u201d and \u201cpersonalities\u201d and staying focused on the task at hand.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
Sure, it may seem cheesy, but we always see concrete pours as a \u201cbattle\u201d or a \u201cteam sport\u201d with the opponent being all the conditions influencing the success of the day. This includes the weather, manpower, equipment, the concrete supplier, and the concrete itself. With so many unpredictable factors for a crew to manage, having a reliable team is key to a successful pour. Therefore, the crew\u2019s trade knowledge, experience and teamwork ability are critical.\u00a0 The preparation for the pour is also important and can make or break the day. Failing to prepare in the days prior to the pour leads to consequences that are obvious in the final product. We continually communicate to our crews that the success of the day and project relies on them, and each one of them have a direct impact on our success as a team. Once crew members realize their ability to influence the big picture they start to work differently, they work smarter more efficiently, and with purpose.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The True Plane team operates with mutual respect, maximum efficiency, and values quality work.\u00a0 \u00a0As a result, we understand the factors that produce big picture success on a project. By applying what they know and valuing teamwork, True Plane crews view each day as an opportunity to win the \u201cbattle\u201d. Sharing in the experience of a successful pour gives our crews purpose, drive and creates a pride in the work.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The culture of high standards does not allow for mediocrity. The TruePlane crews treat each other with respect and do not use manipulation or fear tactics\/mongering to influence the work. Mutual respect for every man at each step in his career is a must for the crew to work well as a team. This culture is tough to create and keep especially when dealing with egos. It is achievable and Jason has experienced creating it both in Collene Concrete and Dredge America.\r\n\r\nJason knows it may seem cheesy, but he has always seen flatwork pours as a \u201cbattle\u201d or a \u201cteam sport\u201d with the opponent being all conditions influencing the success of the day. This includes the concrete itself, the supplier, weather, manpower, and equipment. Therefore, the crew\u2019s knowledge and experience are critical. The preparation for the pour is the most important. It can make or break the day. The preparation is the only \u201ccondition\u201d that is controllable. If a crew skimps or neglects on preparation in the days prior to the pour the consequences will be obvious. Jason continually communicates to the crews that the success of the day relies on them. Each crewmember has a direct impact on the success of our team. Once they can see or feel their responsibility towards the big picture, they start to work differently. They work smarter, more efficiently, and with purpose. \r\n\r\nThrough maintenance and coaching, TruePlane has a team with mutual respect for the projects and the cause and effects that produce the big picture success. The crews view each day as a battle to be won, which gives purpose, drive and creates team pride that our crews & clients will benefit from this philosophy.","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
