All lean construction techniques can be scaled to smaller projects. The only thing that changes is coverage systems are harder and you need to get creative. Get help from PMs, safety directors, logistics foremen, or office administrators for coverage. Stop using small project size as an excuse for not implementing good systems.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Technology principles: should do what humans should not do, should not do what humans should do
• Active versus passive information: visual management must be accessible, don't hide on databases
• Small projects can implement: tax plans, make ready, weekly work plans, meetings, procurement, zero tolerance, all systems
• Coverage solutions: get creative with PMs, safety directors, logistics foremen, office administrators watching project
• Pre-construction is critical: demand to be in early, plan the job, negotiate schedule, builder involvement required

If one person can implement lean systems on a small project then you can too, because you are smart enough to figure this out and the problem is not that they are small jobs but that you are not getting creative enough.
