Ep.1134 - What Happens When a Trade Drives the Schedule?
Who Really Controls the Schedule: You or the Trades?
Too many projects grind to a halt because one trade insists on “doing it their way” taking massive areas, blowing through at their own pace, and expecting everyone else to adjust. Sound familiar?
In this episode, Jason breaks down why allowing a single trade to drive the schedule kills flow, profitability, and project success. You’ll learn:
· Why batching huge areas slows the entire project (even if it feels faster in the moment).
· How flow efficiency and resource efficiency must work together not against each other.
· The orchestra analogy every superintendent needs to remember when leading trade partners.
· A powerful mindset shift optimizing the whole vs. letting one trade “win.”
