Ep.1151 - Response to a Question about Pre-staging

In this podcast we cover:

• How pre-staging ties into JIT.
• How to make it work if you do.
• The approach you take to phase through a building twice.

In this episode I respond to two thoughtful comments from listeners that highlight important lessons in construction. One listener shared his perspective on the three enablers for execution, emphasizing the role of data, tools, and physical area in making work possible. His reflection aligned closely with what I had shared in an earlier episode on patterns, reinforcing how universal these principles are. Another listener asked a detailed question about just in time deliveries in high rise construction, specifically when long pipes and large mechanical units cannot fit through the buck hoist before the curtain wall goes up. I share why preloading is sometimes necessary, how to minimize its impact, and why planning staging areas and comeback zones on logistics maps is essential. These conversations highlight how planning, teamwork, and shared learning can transform projects.
