The Pipeline Podcast Is Now The Build America Podcast
After years of sharing real-world insights on the Pipeline Podcast, I’m excited to announce a major rebrand: The Pipeline Podcast is now The Build America Podcast!
Why the change? I’ve just launched the first volume of my new Build America Construction Success Field Guide Series—compact, no-fluff guidebooks packed with tactics and lessons from my 35+ years in heavy civil construction. Bringing everything under the Build America banner makes it easier for you to find the resources you need to build better, grow smarter, and stay ahead of the competition.
Let’s keep Building America together.
“Over 300+ written and audio recordings on construction subjects including, but not limited to, Spearin Doctrine, timely notification, claim preparation techniques, contra proferentum, unilateral change orders, the cost versus price, plan constructability review, bid escrow, proposal terms and conditions, vendor quote analysis, and Eichleay Formula. www.sjcivil.com , 2016 – present.” – Scott Jennings
