A day in pre-construction will save a week in the field, and most projects are crash landing right now because that time is simply not being invested. In this episode, Jason Schroeder walks through the complete pre-construction system, from the first planner system and Takt analysis to team building, workforce planning, contract inclusions and risk reviews, laying out every step needed to win the war before ever going to battle. This is the final episode in the integrated production control system series and one of the most important.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• How the first planner system works and why creating a project strategy before opening a scheduling tool is non-negotiable
• How to perform a Takt analysis of major phases and use production rates to build a schedule grounded in production theory
• Why pre-construction is the only time to plan bathrooms, lunchrooms, worker huddles, barbecues and the full workforce respect plan
• How to buy out lean behaviors, just-in-time procurement by Takt zone and BIM coordination so the right systems are funded and contractually locked in
• Why a fresh eyes risk review meeting before going to GMP is one of the single most powerful steps any project team can take

If you are not dedicating serious time to pre-construction, you have already crash landed your next project.
