Turn a real project experience into a practical lesson another builder can use tomorrow.
Field Interview
Tell the story in plain field terms.
Build Pearls will ask a few targeted questions about a real project condition, issue, near miss, or lesson. You do not need a polished story. Start with what happened, what made it matter, and what another builder should watch for next time.
The interview is designed to pull out field context, warning signs, root causes, consequences, and practical prevention steps.

Warning signs or missed signals
Cost, schedule, safety, quality, rework, commissioning, or coordination impact

Best workflow moment for this Pearl to surface later
What Makes A Strong Pearl
Useful lessons come from specific details.
Build Pearls is not trying to collect generic construction advice. A strong Pearl captures what actually happened, why it mattered, what warning signs appeared, and what another builder should do differently next time.
Signal Quality
Not every story starts as a Pearl.
If a lesson is too vague, the interview continues with targeted follow-up questions. The goal is not more content. The goal is more useful field wisdom.
