Construction Pro Spotlight: Lance Premeau

By Peter Kray posted 02-19-2019 04:03 PM

  

The Construction Pro Spotlight is a fun way for construction industry professionals to share a little information about their career and interests, and connect with colleagues and friends

Describe your affiliation with CSI and how it has impacted you, both personally and professionally?

I am relatively new to CSI, having joined my local chapter about a year ago, getting my CDT a couple months ago and regularly attending the chapter events. The networking is the key item for me. I find the membership, their roles, experiences and knowledge extremely beneficial. CSI membership truly provides multiple avenues for personal and professional growth.

 

What is the construction industry’s biggest challenge?

There are several facing our industry, but I feel the most daunting is the lack of skilled labor. Labor for all segments from the construction end all the way back through the product manufacturers is in short supply. I hear it from builders, architects and manufacturing companies time and again.

 

What is the coolest project you’ve ever worked on, or are working on now?

As a team member of a custom product manufacturer, I get to see many interesting products get used in a diverse range of projects. I think the coolest projects are the ones where a truly non-standard window or door gets used in a truly challenging project – exceeding the architect and owner’s expectations.

 

What is the one piece of advice you wish someone had given you before you started your earliest project?

I will answer this in a slightly different manner…I wish someone would have told me how challenging and rewarding a career in the building industry could be. It’s not something that is widely taught in the K-12 educational realm, but really should be. A career in the built environment, from design through construction, can be an incredible adventure!

 

Who in the industry would you like to see in a Construction Pro Spotlight, and why?

Again, I will be a little more generic in my answer.  I would like to see those people who have been in the industry for a long time interviewed and showcased in the spotlight.  Their insights, experiences and knowledge need to be captured and broadcast to the CSI masses.
