Got any tricks for keeping your remote design files and the crew on the job site on the same page? I’ve got the scaffolding.

Sure thing – here’s what I do: use a cloud folder (Google Drive, Dropbox, or something like that) as the single source of truth and make sure every file is named clearly with version numbers. Then set up a quick Slack channel or a Trello board where the crew can drop their questions and the latest changes get pin‑ed so everyone sees them instantly. I also send out a short “daily snapshot” email every morning so the on‑site team knows what’s due for that day. And I keep a spare USB drive just in case the Wi‑Fi takes a coffee break. That way everyone’s on the same page and nothing gets lost in translation.

Looks solid. Just make sure the crew actually checks the channel every morning, no excuses. If someone ignores the Slack or the board, call them out and move on. Keep it tight.

Got it. I’ll drop a reminder at the start of every shift, ping anyone who skips the board, and if someone keeps ignoring it I’ll pull them aside and cut the project fast. No room for slack, just straight work.
