Ep.1144 - Developing Company Standards, Feat. Jesse Powell

Are you building processes from scratch or reinventing the wheel?

In this episode, Jason Schroeder sits down with Superintendent Jesse Powell to dive into one of the biggest challenges in construction today “developing standards, forms, and processes that actually work”.

Jesse brings 18 years of experience in the field, moving from carpenter to superintendent on $200M projects, and now helping his company take bold steps in their lean journey. Together, we unpack:

✅ How to start building a practical checklist of processes without overcomplicating things. ✅ The critical role of collaboration across teams and regions. ✅ Why lean is more than buzzwords and how respect for people shows up in the real world. ✅ A simple framework for building reliable systems that improve projects everywhere.
