Isn't that in your job description? I know it's in mine.
Contractors love me.
You're getting involved in construction inspection? or construction contract administration?
If inspection, you haven't completed your daily tasks until the foreman throws his hard hat on the ground and kicks it while muttering what a f*cking asshole you are.
If contract administration, your job's not done until you've done two things:
1) You must make the contractors superintendent or project manager threaten to have the lowboy show up and pull every piece of equipment off the job, and
2) You then point out the clause in the general conditions stating that he's contractually obligated to make continuous progress towards meeting the project completion dates, and if he follows through with his threat you'll have no choice but to terminate the contract. If the owner/president from the contractor (for a small/mid size construction company) or lawyer (for the big hitters) doesn't contact you by the end of the next business day, you simply haven't tried hard enough.
