Construction Foreman Field Guide

The complete system for running a crew that holds together. Built on the published research behind the free Construction Foreman Assessment at truestephr.com and matched to 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 (12-page PDF): what the seat costs when it goes wrong, with the sector benchmark numbers read honestly; how to read your assessment result; a chapter of specific moves for each of the five areas; the 30-day plan; the traps that undo the work; and when a job problem is structural rather than a skills problem.
• The First 90 Days Planner (4-page PDF): one new hand run as a system, from the setup before day one through the 30, 60, and 90 day checks, with the welcome drafted word for word and the stay conversation drafted in advance.
• Construction Foreman Scripts and Templates (Word): eight verbatim scripts, from the 6:10 no-show morning to the stop-work moment, the rework conversation, the end-of-project conversation that earns the rehire, and the stay conversation, plus the two-week look-ahead template and the three-check agenda.
• The Action Workbook (Excel): every assessment read logged over time, the crew numbers tracked monthly with the quits share computed, the rework log with the found-at column that moves your checks earlier, the crew roster with computed check dates and the invite-back column, and a dashboard. Works in Excel or Google Sheets.
• Quick Reference (PDF): The whole workbook on one page: what each tab is for, what you enter, and how to read the result.

Scope

This kit is a set of working tools and editable templates for handling performance, conduct, and people decisions in a clear, consistent, and defensible way. It is not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for qualified counsel on your specific situation. Conversations about performance, pay, and conduct can carry legal consequences, and discipline, documentation, and termination rules vary by state. Where a matter is heading toward discipline or separation, or where an employee raises a complaint about harassment, discrimination, retaliation, or safety, have the facts and your next step reviewed against applicable law before you act.
