Site super

[plasmaMan]

Hi,

We will be having our Frame-Walk through inspection with the site super very soon for a new house we have purchased.

I want to thank the Super in some way. I have been impressed by the way he has handled situations in particular when he called me recently at work to understand what I wanted to get done (as it wasn't completely clear on the paper). I just thought it was unusual for the site super to get in touch with the purchaser to truly understand what they want. He additionally gave me a bunch of great advise while on phone.

I was thinking of getting him a bottle of single malt as a token of appreciation when I meet him for the inspection.

Would this be considered appropriate?

Thanks

why not just a gift card for coffe?

I thought about that. Just think he would appreciate single malt more than coffee coupons.

Part of the reason I want to do this is to also to have him give a little better attention towards my house as it gets constructed.

DO NOT give people on construction sites alcohol. Very bad idea.

Coffee, donuts, that sort of thing is a great idea and safe.

Good point Greg.

However I am curious to know why this is the case. I can understand a pack of chilled beer to be a very bad idea ... as there is a possibility of drinking this during the working ours.

But I doubt the super would open his single malt and start on it at during work.

id avoid alcohol. You never know if he is a recovering alcoholic or chooses not to drink. stick with a timmies card.

A package of good quality steaks? Or even a gift card to a nice place like the Keg? I dont see an issue with giving him a bottle im sure hes old enough to realize he should not be drinking on the job.

Again gift card for Coffe, So that he can buy coffe for all his crew that would be working on your house.

One site I work on recently let a super go because of drinking on the job.

This is not the first time I have seen someone fired from a jobsite for that.

Please do not give anyone on a job site alcohol, no matter how fancy it is.

Food is always good. Water and other cold alcohol-free drinks go a long long way during a hot day.

We have had some very hot weather the last few weeks . How about a cooler filled with bottles of water on ice and a thanks . The water will be gone in no time but the cooler will be around for maybe years .
