I read great blog post today titled It’s Time to Abandon the Low-Bid System. Written by Ted Garrison, the post posits that the innovative design that comes from design-build contractors far outperforms the designs obtained from architects and consulting engineers. I’ve found that to be true. In fact, my business succeeds because of that truth. Read Ted’s blog post, it’s worth a few minutes of your time.

As I read his post, I wondered what else Ted Garrison does. I was pleasantly surprised to find a series of podcasts that address construction issues. This seems a good resource for anyone looking to learn, grow and advance in the construction industry.

For example, I listed to one of his radio shows about trust. The guest explained that trust increased speed and efficiency on a construction project…and vice versa. I had a bit of trouble getting the podcasts loaded, but will figure that out and write more in the future. I think I’ve stumbled upon a good resource for us all.
