Why Neglecting Pre-Construction is the Biggest Mistake You Can Make with Mikhail Gannage | E343

The Construction Leading Edge Podcast

EPISODE 343: What’s the most important part of a construction project? Is it pre-construction or the building phase?

If you answered the building phase, it’s time to reexamine your system and start prioritizing your pre-construction process. This week’s guest has a lot to share about this topic.

Join me as I interview my good friend and owner of Gannage Design & Construction, Mikhail Gannage.

In today’s episode, Mikhail and I talk about his remarkable transition from hands-on work to a process-driven approach.

Inspired by his background in industrial robotics, he shares how meticulous pre-construction planning is the secret to success. He reveals the strategies and tools that impacted his construction business, the limiting beliefs that hold people back, what it’s like to own a company rather than run one, and more.
