The Hidden Constraints That Sabotage Construction Projects
Your project isn’t always slowed down by big problems it’s the hidden constraints that quietly drain productivity and morale. In this episode of the Elevate Construction Podcast, Jason Schroeder uncovers the real killers of flow and performance on site:
· Fatigue from poor working conditions
· Complex work without the right planning
· Crews pushed without breaks
· Missing buffers that leave no room for reality
· Forcing trades into too many areas at once
· Rushing workers to cover bad planning
· Excessive paperwork pulling leaders away from crews
Jason shows how First Planners can prevent these issues through intentional planning, and how Last Planners can protect their people by refusing to compromise. The message is clear, when you prioritize people over profits, productivity and success follow.
