Construction Foreman Field Guide

A foreman has to keep the work moving, protect the crew, and catch quality problems before they turn into rework. The Construction Foreman Field Guide brings those responsibilities together in one set of tools. It draws on the published research behind the free Construction Foreman Assessment at truestephr.com and follows its five areas: Manpower and the Look-Ahead, Safety Leadership on the Job, Quality and Rework, Performance and Conflict, and Keeping the Crew.

What is inside

• The Construction Foreman Field Guide (13-page PDF): the cost of problems in the foreman role, with guidance on interpreting sector benchmark numbers; how to understand your assessment result; a chapter of practical steps for each of the five areas; the 30-day plan; common pitfalls to watch for; and how to recognize when a job problem is structural rather than a skills problem.
• The First 90 Days Planner (4-page PDF): prepare for one new crew member before day one, then follow through with the 30, 60, and 90 day checks. Includes a word-for-word welcome and a stay conversation drafted in advance.
• Construction Foreman Scripts and Templates (Word): eight word-for-word scripts covering the 6:10 no-show morning, the stop-work moment, the rework conversation, the end-of-project conversation that earns the rehire, and the stay conversation. Also includes the two-week look-ahead template and the three-check agenda.
• The Action Workbook (Excel): log every assessment result over time and track crew numbers monthly with the quits share computed. The rework log has a found-at column to help move your checks earlier. The crew roster includes computed check dates and the invite-back column. Includes a dashboard. Works in Excel or Google Sheets.
• Quick Reference (PDF): a one-page guide to the whole workbook, showing what each tab is for, what to enter, and how to read the result.

Scope

These working tools and editable templates help you handle performance, conduct, and people decisions clearly, consistently, and defensibly. Performance, pay, and conduct conversations can have legal consequences, and discipline, documentation, and termination rules vary by state.
