Freddie, a construction worker who I befriended is the most valuable person on projects he works on. He is not the most skilled carpenter nor the best plumber nor the one with the most attention to detail. However, he is fluent in English and Spanish and because of that, he is the bridge builder between the general contractor who speaks just English and the workers who mostly speak just Spanish. Additionally, Freddie is tech savvy, is on top of his email, text and other chat tools which makes him a bridge builder between the GC and other vendors.
