Elevate Construction

Ep.1398 - Takt & Lean Principles, Feat. Hal Macomber


Listen Later

In this powerhouse episode, Jason Schroeder is joined by Lean legend Hal Macomber, who shares jaw-dropping insights from decades of experience revolutionizing how we build. From set-based design to macro-level takt planning, Hal breaks down why takt construction isn't just a theory - it's the only way forward.

What you'll learn in this episode:

  • Why execution at the work face matters more than perfect planning.

  • How to design with constraints as a strength, not a limitation.

  • Why early trade partner selection and training changes everything.

  • The truth about CPM vs. Takt and why one aligns with production science, and the other doesn't.

  • What Hal learned delivering a 3,500-person, $multi-million project in 28 months.

Packed with analogies (think: sailing from Boston to Maine) and practical frameworks, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about planning and building projects, especially if you care about flow, certainty, and remarkable results.
