Hey, OSHA 30 is a solid start, but I’d definitely look into PMP if you're eyeing management roles. It really opens doors and shows you’re serious about leading projects. Also, don't sleep on heavy equipment or trade-specific certs coz they can boost your value fast on site.
Yeah, we’ve been feeling it too, materials are eating way more of the budget. We’ve started buying in bulk early and locking in supplier rates when we can. Still tough, but it helps keep projects moving without blowing up timelines.
