I'm Jarrod Brant — project manager by trade, trainer by necessity, and the guy who usually ends up fixing things no one else wants to touch.

I’ve been managing construction projects for over a decade, leading crews, training PMs, and keeping homeowners calm while walls come down around them (literally and emotionally). At this point, I’ve dealt with just about every surprise a jobsite can throw at you — from missing materials to disappearing subcontractors, city inspectors on a power trip, and everything in between.

This blog started as a place to get the constant stream of jobsite chaos and real-world solutions out of my head and onto paper. I’m not here to preach some perfect system. I’m here to share what’s worked for me, the tools I use, the mistakes I’ve made, the wins I’ve earned, and the lessons that hit harder than they should’ve. Sometimes I’ll break down an actual email I sent to fix a mess. Other times I’ll walk through a project I wish I could do over.

If you're a project manager, a contractor, or just someone who wants to survive a renovation without losing your sanity, you’ll find something useful here.



Thanks for being here. Hopefully something I’ve learned the hard way can make your work a little easier.
