#247 Tony and Dave from GD Contracting Services Inc from Roofing to Renovations to so many lessons to learn
Tony Viera and Dave from GD Contracting Services Inc. are here to share their many stories, from a humble beginning working in roofing and eventually int renovations of all scopes. It all began with roofing, working with their Dad’s and uncles during all extremes of mother nature. Dave did it for 6 years and Tony for 20 years before he got out and began renovating.
This show will dive into the education of construction, the search for the next group of trades, the lessons learned from every employer they worked for and worked with. Construction has and always will be about learning every single day and the Dave and Tony carry that mindset to this very day since they have no plans in the near future to hang up the tool belts. There are major issues coming our way, with Tony and Dave, they know half of their staff is 5 years away from retirement and they are scrambling to figure out future moves, we all are. Take the initiative to stay longer on the job site and watch experienced trades doing what they do best and ask questions. You can look at it two ways, not making money to learn or making future money, you decide, it’s all perspective. At the age of 40 Tony took a blueprint reading course, there is always time to better educate yourself especially in the trades.
