Are Roadblocks Killing Your Project Flow?
In this episode of the Elevate Construction Podcast, we’re diving deep into the critical skill of roadblock removal a make or break factor in keeping projects on track. Using a powerful “train of trades” analogy, Jason unpacks how foremen, supers, and planners can clear the path, prepare zones, and keep crews moving without costly slowdowns.
You’ll discover:
· The difference between constraints and roadblocks and why mixing them up can derail your project.
· How foremen act as the “yard masters” of construction, ensuring tracks are clear, stations are ready, and supplies are lined up.
· The 3 types of roadblocks you’ll face on every jobsite and the proven ways to remove, adapt, or prepare for them before they stall progress.
· Why separating system design from environmental roadblocks is the secret to predictable flow.
