About This Podcast

Most construction issues don’t start in the field. They start behind the scenes. With misaligned systems, siloed teams, and owners left in the dark. Behind the Barricade pulls back the curtain on what really derails timelines, budgets, and trust. Each episode, we talk with construction leaders, project owners, and field experts who’ve faced the chaos.... and found a better way through. We cover: -What went wrong (and why) -How they turned it around -The systems and strategies that actually work This isn’t PR. It’s a pressure test for how construction is led. Because when owners see the truth, they lead differently.
