Norms and Teamwork

It is imporant that you confrom to which ever audience you are working with. If you are working with excavators you might find yourself sub-conciously using a little foul language and being a little more coarse, then if you were working with a client in which you would react to their mannerisms while always maintaining a high degree of professionalism. Within the certain sub-contracting groups each maintains a certain degree of conformity: e.g. the trim carpenters are all surfer mountain biking dudes. The group functioning at the site hinges upon the ability of the project manager to facilitate materials and the men, as while as mediate between the various groups (e.g. clients, sub-contractors, the General Contractor Company). The groups ability to function also depends on the environmental factors as well, whether or not the materials arrive on time free of defects, or other factors such as the weather (e.g. snow when the concrete company is scheduled to pour for the driveway). I would say the groups ability to function at the job site is superb. I would say that the project manager could be more organized at the very beginning in order to ensure a smooth project, a detailed schedule would also motivate the sub-contractors to adhere to schedule to make sure they are doing their job, without hindering anyone elses progress.
