Elevate Construction Ep.1159 - Unreasonable Hospitality, Feat. Josh Young and Jennifer Lacy
In this podcast we cover:
- Delighting the community and end users.
- And approach to hospitality.
- Connecting beyond the job site.
In this episode, I walk through my process for scheduling civil projects using takt planning. I share how I break work into phases, areas, and stations while considering factors such as soil conditions, depth of pipe, and complexity. I explain how to calculate production rates, establish durations, and create flow between utilities like water, sewer, and storm drains. I also emphasize the importance of buffers, visuals, and fresh eyes reviews to protect the plan and strengthen team alignment. Beyond the technical side, I highlight how training programs like High Street Ventures’ boot camps raise the bar by embedding lean practices into every trade partner’s culture. This episode is about more than scheduling, it is about creating predictability, building trust, and setting projects up for lasting success.
