Has anyone here ever worked in construction?

I might have an opportunity to work part-time in construction, but I really have no idea what you do besides the obvious "build shit". If you have, how many hours did you usually work per work?

 

Are you going to be a day laborer? Carpenter? Excavation?

We don't have the answers to the questions you want answers to, I think you should ask your potential employer.

 

construction work can be back-breaking, dusty as hell, you get cuts on hands tell your skin hardens. it can be hard work for some. im not talking about standing 80% of the day construction, i mean you work...try to get as much info about the job before you start.

 

id say its most likely labour cos you have no prior exprience
and as the guy above me said, is it back breaking labour
one of my mates does labouring at a construction site, he works 8 to 10 hour days and all that.
ya also gotta find out how much you are getting paid, cos im here in australia and the minnium pay is $15 per hour but goes all the way up to $30
so if your with a good company, you will get decent pay, but they will make you work, work hard

 

at first you'll probably just start off fetching stuff for the older guys till you work up to an actual trade, unless you already have a license or whatever.

 

Round here it seems that builders don't do much except stand around and scratch their arse- that is until the building dead line gets close and then things start to shoot up.

 

If you get hurt they will drug test you. I garentee it.

 

I depends what kind of construction some is worse then others I used to be a frame carpenter it is hard work. Cement bricklaying is really hard work..

Most all of it is hard sucky work I don’t know I would rather do construction then restaurant work.

But most construction workers get stoned when I was a framer I only met like one or 2 framers that didn’t get stoned and they were old like 50 or 60.

 

where is there construction taking place?
hell i may have to go there and find a job.. sure as hell aint no work here...

 

construction is a real mans work....with biiiiiiig money involved

 

they usally work hard as fuck the first day not do much the following weeks and then work hard as fuck when the deadline approaches
