In this episode of the Elevate Construction Podcast, Jason Schroeder and Jake Smaley dive into their experience with Lean implementation on a $100 million project, sharing lessons learned from both successes and failures. They explore how they transformed a disorganized and demoralizing job site into a clean, safe, and efficient space by winning over the workforce, improving site conditions, and fostering a culture of respect and accountability. This episode highlights the power of Lean principles in driving real change in construction environments.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• The importance of winning over workers and improving morale.
• How implementing Lean practices can transform a construction site.
• The role of a zero-tolerance safety policy in maintaining high standards.
• The impact of small actions like cleanliness and organization on overall success.
• Why forcing initial Lean adoption leads to long-term voluntary buy-in.
