What do you want to know?

Sometimes it is hard to figure out what subject is most relevant to the projects that are going on in different regions.  This is the opportunity to request a subject or question that might be relevant to any ongoing projects; an opportunity to create a dialog to better understand the processes and details surrounding either the installation or logistics surrounding the resinous business.    Please post questions in the comments section and I will do my best to respond or expound on the subject.

Most of the common job site problems today are due to a combination of expectations and scheduling conflicts.  While most people understand how the process works, they don’t understand that the conditions required for most applications are finished conditions.  The importance of permanent lights, finished trades, and conditioned space are paramount to a quality installation.  The way that I try to explain the process is to compare resinous flooring to “manufacturing” a product in place rather than taking a pre-manufactured product and installing it in place.  The most experienced superintendents still face pressures from owners and other trades that lead to premature installations on most resinous flooring projects, and cause mistakes to be made that are avoidable.

A projects schedule can negatively influence many trades on a project if not managed properly.  the most important thing is communication and understanding.  The purpose of this post is to start an open discussion among professionals to better understand the order that finish products should be scheduled during a project.  Pool planning has led to projects moving more efficiently, however it still has not solved some of the constraints of installing a finished product without permanent lights and conditioned air due to permitting an inspection issues or other unpredictable variables.

In short, what questions can be asked to start an honest open discussion to improve our industry as a whole?  Thanks for reading and please feel free to ask any relevant question relating to installation, scheduling and process.
