Ep.1364 - We aren’t as Unique as You Think

The Lie of Being Unique: Why Construction Keeps Reinventing the Wheel

Let’s bust a myth that’s quietly killing our productivity in construction: “This project is different.”

In this eye-opening episode, Jason challenges one of the most common (and dangerous) beliefs in our industry that every project is so unique it can’t follow a standard process. But what if that mindset is the very thing holding us back from stability, repeatability, and excellence?

He shares:

• A powerful question from his CEO that sparked this whole reflection.

• What software, lean systems, and builders like Hensel Phelps already know.

• Why thinking you're unique can tank your schedule and lead to chaos.

• The truth about production systems: different buildings, same process.

Whether you’re a superintendent, project manager, or craftsman aiming to level up, this episode will shift your mindset and sharpen your focus.
