Who here trusts their bullshit-detector? Their in-built radar that picks up lies, false-promises, exaggerations, inflated sales-speak, and the untrustworthy. We have all got one and this particular piece of kit is one you need by your side on every job site.

When presented with a problem, it is not uncommon for trades to play the blame-game. “My plastering isn’t perfect because the carpenter didn’t square the walls”, “I wouldn’t have chosen that grout”, “Your building surveyor should have picked that up before I started”, “Your draftsperson didn’t specify that in the drawings.” And it goes on. On-site, you need to know who to trust and calling “Bullshit” on blame and problem-focused discussions is a big part of that.

Join Rebeka and Kribashini as they shoot for the Guinness world record for saying “Bullshit” the most in a single podcast episode. Learn how to detect and call-out unproductive behaviour on your build site to create a solution-oriented culture that fosters successful projects.

TOPICS WE COVER:
There are many ways to complete a task. Watch for tradies that belittle the previous tradesperson’s job to gain your trust
Following on from this, detecting blame-centred discussions and putting a stop to them
“I could’ve done that cheaper” is not helpful to hear - call bullshit!
Focusing on the task at hand, not what someone else has done in the past
The age-old battle between carpenters and plasterers
Most things aren’t that big of a deal and can be fixed. Don’t subscribe to the drama - become solution-orientated
Things always go wrong on a build and you need to be okay with that and account for it
Inviting unqualified opinions can be very harmful to how you feel about the build
Check your emotional baggage at the door, and approach any finished build being constructive and positive

LINKS WE MENTIONED:
Victorian Guide to Standards and Tolerances (different guide per state)
