So, in the company, we don’t make a distinction between boss and driver. That has proven effective. A coffee here, a truck at noon, a friendly chat, and complaints go down significantly. Why handle it differently on the construction site? The journeyman on site does the work, and over a coffee, suggestions come up on how to do it better.

We had an independent expert approved by the court. He was good and generally received respect. He also didn’t charge for every little thing. It was a recommendation from our general contractor. Known craftsmen themselves say you can tell on the construction sites whether an expert is present or not.

The expert said at the beginning, check every day. If your stomach signals that something is wrong, call.

I was usually on the construction site twice a day. Once in the evening quietly alone, the next day to clarify questions, etc. Then there was sometimes a coffee or something to eat. Not every day, and it was asked not to bring cake and trucks.

LeberKäsWeck Weck = bread roll

Because there is too much cake and LKWs. There are construction sites with breakfast, lunch and afternoon cake. They didn’t want something every day. So sometimes there was the daily special from the butcher or a heavily filled baguette from the baker. Asked “today there are half chickens, are you interested?” A thermos of coffee was gladly accepted. Drinks didn’t go much - winter construction site. A few bottles of beer.

Recently I rode along with a craftsman, only a few years in Germany, always hardworking and very down-to-earth.

He said to me: we have customers who have a lot of money, pay well but show zero respect, working with them is no fun at all.
With you, it's exactly the opposite.

Those were kind words.

I always say:
"Respect needs no language."

People who can't give it are, to me, totally hopeless, sorry.
