The Calgary-based coordinator emphasizes process, communication, and structure as keys to safety, efficiency, and job site success.
CALGARY, AB / ACCESS Newswire / December 16, 2025 / In a fast-moving industry where project delays, change orders, and unclear communication cost companies billions each year, construction project coordinator David Torske is speaking up about a fix that starts with something simple: better documentation and structured workflows.
"A good document can prevent a bad decision," says Torske. "Clarity on paper leads to clarity on-site."
As a Project Coordinator working across residential and commercial projects, Torske is known for his solutions-focused mindset and steady leadership style. Drawing from years of experience with project scheduling, pre-construction planning, and trade coordination, he's raising awareness about how simple shifts in project habits can lead to major improvements in outcomes.
Why Construction Needs a Documentation Mindset Shift
According to a 2023 study by the U.S.-based Construction Industry Institute (CII), project rework accounts for up to 15% of total construction costs, with miscommunication and poor documentation listed among the top causes.
Torske sees this on the ground: job sites where outdated files, unclear scope definitions, or missing checklists create confusion and friction.
"You can't fix what you can't see," he explains. "That's why documentation isn't just paperwork. It's part of the build."
In his daily work, Torske uses tools like Procore, Microsoft Project, and Excel to track changes, align trades, and keep scope, time, and budget in sync. But he's quick to point out that the real difference comes from how these tools are used, not just whether they exist.
Building Smarter Starts with One Person Asking Better Questions
Torske doesn't believe major change starts with company-wide overhauls. Instead, he encourages individuals - whether they're site supervisors, junior coordinators, or trade partners - to take small steps toward structure:
Maintain clear daily logs and notes
Update project schedules weekly
Document all changes with simple explanations
Use visuals and checklists to reduce missed steps
Communicate scope shifts as they happen, not after
"Even if you're not the lead on a project, you can be the person who brings order," he says. "That mindset spreads."
Calm Communication, Strong Coordination
In a profession often marked by last-minute changes and high stress, Torske's calm presence has become one of his strengths. He is known for clear, professional client communication and a quiet confidence that helps teams reset when timelines shift.
"Sometimes, the best thing you can say on a project is: ‘Here's what we know, here's what we're doing next.'"
His work supports not just better delivery, but better relationships, both internally and with clients.
What You Can Do: A Call for Structured Simplicity
David Torske, CAPM, is encouraging professionals at all levels in construction to reflect on the processes they use every day - and to tighten the basics.
"It's not about more meetings or more software," he says. "It's about showing up with a clear plan, writing it down, and making sure the next person can follow it."
He believes that even in today's high-tech, high-demand world, discipline, organization, and simplicity are still the foundations of success.
