The Hidden Traps That Kill Construction Productivity
In this episode of the Elevate Construction Podcast, Jason Schroeder exposes the hidden spirals that destroy productivity when leaders overload projects with too many workers, too many materials, or too much work in progress.
You’ll learn:
· Why adding more people to a late project often makes it later.
· How excess materials clog workflows, create rework, and slow every trade down.
· The critical difference between planned capacity and reactive chaos.
· How balancing resources, WIP, and flow is the real key to project speed.
This is a wakeup call for every builder, leader, and trade partner who’s ever tried to “push harder” to get ahead only to watch chaos unfold.
