In this episode, Jason introduces the concept of before phase planning, the detailed preparation that must happen long before a construction phase begins. Drawing from his analysis of a $520 million mega project, he explains why pull plans, preconstruction meetings, look-ahead planning, and supply-chain management are only the foundation of successful execution.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• How before phase planning reduces risk before work reaches the field.
• Why pull planning should begin three to four months before a phase starts.
• How preconstruction meetings prepare trade partners for their first work zone.
• Why six-week look-ahead planning is essential for removing roadblocks.
• How weekly work plans, production buffers, and supply-chain planning support reliable handoffs.

Are you only planning the construction phase itself, or are you doing the detailed work required to make that phase successful before it begins?
