In this episode, Jason concludes the before-phase planning series by explaining how to prepare every phase for a successful start. He covers aligning procurement and logistics with phase dates, kitting materials for crews, clearing roadblocks, confirming predecessor work, and following a structured planning cadence. The goal is to ensure that people, materials, equipment, information, access, and quality requirements are 100% ready before work begins.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• How kitting, room kitting, and prefabrication improve flow in each zone.
• Why logistics and procurement must align with the phase schedule.
• How to identify and remove roadblocks before crews begin installation.
• Why high-risk work packages require more detailed planning and preparation.
• How to use a 12-week planning cadence to reach a confident go or no-go decision.

Are your phases going wrong during construction, or are they starting wrong because the work was never fully prepared?
