Ep.1354 - How to Deal with Scopes that Cross Zones

Takt Planning for Long Horizontal Runs: Ducts, Electrical, and More

What do you do when a duct run, electrical home run, or ceiling grid needs to stretch across multiple zones? In this episode, I break down real-world takt planning strategies for integrating long horizontal buildouts without slowing your project down.

I share examples from complex projects, including the Bioscience Research Laboratory, where careful sequencing, concurrent work, multiple wagons, and phase-specific zone sizes kept crews moving and schedules on track.

If you’ve ever struggled with how to zone for operations that can’t be contained in a single area, this episode will give you practical, tested methods to keep takt flow steady while handling the unique challenges of horizontal builds.
