// CLIPS FROM Soublière Constructors
“so what we did was when we built this team you know we knew we had a project manager that was highly technical”
“my grandfather came from the military and he told me if you lead from the front and you don't have the trust”
“when we had rolled this part of our strategy the guy said that's very expensive to be putting a project manager on the tools”
“I'll give you a quick weird analogy you've heard of saxs underwear”
“if you ask any company out there in any industry why them they always say it's service”
“there's a country song and the line in it says if you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything”
“think of it as like a lighthouse and that Lighthouse isn't moving anywhere”
“compared to other trades like you get into building envelope maybe particularly glazing cladding”
“being tied to the name and the face I'm a big fan of being redundant”
// LESSONS FROM Soublière Constructors
Service must be defined with measurable KPIs and behaviours, not used as a vague slogan.
Hire for transferable soft skills and culture fit; technical gaps can be supported by an existing team.
Build teams around complementary strengths, not irreplaceable unicorns, so departures don't leave a void.
Put the right personality in the right seat; a relationship-communicator can run a client-facing site without deep technical knowledge.
Define your niche and ideal client tightly; ruling out 90% of the market saves wasted bids and builds margin.
Don't chase 'big sexy' jobs outside your scope; boring, consistent niche work prints cash and avoids litigation risk.
