In this podcast we cover:

• A question from a listener.
• What KPIs are recommended.

In this episode, I take a deep dive into a listener's question about standing up a project controls department and choosing the right KPIs. I walk through why project controls matter, the difference between leading and lagging indicators, and specific KPI examples that actually drive meaningful behaviors in quality, scheduling, procurement, financials, and team health. This episode is full of practical advice for anyone in construction who wants to measure the right things, improve consistency, and scale their organization in a sustainable way. Whether you are just starting to think about KPIs or you already have a system in place, these insights will help you refine your approach and avoid common pitfalls that unintentionally hurt performance.
