SUMMARY:Project Management 6: Profitably Managing Your Subcontractors/Communication Skills-The PM’s Most Powerful Tool
DESCRIPTION:Project Management 6: Profitably Managing your Subcontractors/ Communication Skills – The PM’s Most Powerful Tool\nONLINE\nJohn Koontz\nThursday\, July 30\, 2026\n7:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.\nMember: Free\nNon-Member: $179 \nSubcontractors represent a significant portion of most mechanical contracts\, and the performance of your subcontractors is a direct reflection of your own performance in the eyes of an owner\, construction manager\, or general contractor. The project manager’s effective management of subcontractors ensures a successful project that is profitable\, completed on time\, and completed within budget. When the project manager and foreman properly manage their mechanical subcontractors\, mechanical contractor risk is low\, customer satisfaction is high\, and strong long-term relationships are developed between the mechanical contractor and their subcontractors. This session will provide attendees with an in-depth discussion and explanation of the “top ten” keys to successful subcontractor management.\nThis session is directed specifically to the role of the Mechanical Project Manager and their unique daily communication challenges. Due to the complexity of the construction process and the numerous people involved in a project’s completion\, excellent communication skills are required to succeed at project management. When communication problems develop\, relationships usually weaken\, misunderstandings occur\, and project failure is imminent. Excellent communication skills are essential to creating a successful project and a successful career. Communication is always difficult on a construction project and the best project managers know that it’s an issue\, which requires a project manager’s constant attention\, evaluation\, and improvement. In this session the instructor will provide attendees with practical information\, methods\, and best practices for improving their communication abilities over the duration of their career.
