When you are doing active construction, there is no substitute for walking the job site at least once a day.
Not only do you see what is going on, you can catch errors.
Also you meet the men and women doing the work, and you cultivate a relationship with them.
By doing that you encourage them to approach you with cost-saving ideas or approaches that were not contemplated.
Spent four years in a hardhat overseeing two large building sites, and enjoyed every minute of it. Real world experience you cannot learn from a book.

And mom always seemed to have something being redone in our old farmhouse. Loved the two electricians who helped. They taught a ten year old lots about lots.
Later I converted my barn into home doing much of work my self Nothing is impossible with God.
He chose a carpenters family for a reason.
