TOOLS OF THE TRADE
What are Tools of the Trade? Tools of the Trade are the physical tools or information required for successful completion of your job. When considering the tools necessary to do your job effectively, one would immediately assume a hard hat, boots, and other safety equipment. Additional important tools are the reference resources you can quickly and easily check to ensure you are using the correct schedules, floorplans, colors, options, and materials to construct your homes. Additionally, other reference materials are needed to check setbacks, dimensions, plot plans and codes specific to the local municipality. Listed below are tools you should always have with you and tools you should have easy access to as needed. Additional tools may be required depending on your region or division. Required Tools of the Trade: • Hard hat and safety glasses: It is a Century policy every person on a jobsite is required to wear a hard hat, 100% of the time, every day. This policy is non-negotiable, as safety is our number one priority. Lead by example! Your Trade Partners/Suppliers and even Homeowners watch you and see if you follow the rules. Their actions will mirror yours. If required in your division, wear safety glasses as well. • Phone: Always have your phone with you and where you can hear it and answer calls, texts and emails immediately. Communicating in real time with your internal and external partners as you walk the jobsite will help keep you on schedule. • iPad: In addition to a regular laptop for daily administrative tasks, all field associates must have a company issued mobile device such as an iPad to accommodate the Mobile Job Management Express (MJME) platform. This MJME is what allows access to and participation in Century’s Quality Assurance (QA), Pre-Close Orientation (PCO), and Customer Signoff processes. • BuildPro is Century’s scheduling tool. - Key documents to be kept in either the BuildPro “Documents” folders, physically on the jobsite, or in vehicle/satellite office (i.e., Century Complete generally does not have jobsite trailers at communities): - Contract Documents - Schedule - Site Plans, Maps & Address Lists - Community Information - Specifications Floor Plans, including Lot Specific - Color Sheet & Selections Sheet - Design Sheets & Options Selections - Community Map - Subdivision Lot Address List - Jobsite Rules and Regulations - Soils Report - Lot Files - Permits - Design Center Information & Standard Floor Breaks
