Ep.1426 - The 12 Causes of Project Failure

from Elevate Construction · host Jason Schroeder

Projects rarely go wrong. They start wrong. In this punchy breakdown, Jason spotlights Adam Beanie's framework and ties it to the builder's code Never yield ground so you can protect finished work, keep control, and deliver. The big miss: inadequate planning and starting before you're ready. Leadership alignment: PM and superintendent in lockstep or the job suffers. Scope change creep: why phased design spins teams out and how to stop it. Scheduling truth: CPM confusion vs the rhythm and flow of Takt. Team capability: put the right people on the bus and skill them up. Incentives: how contracts drive behavior and how to align them. Risk and information: continuous risk scanning and real time updates to the field. Clear. Applicable. Field ready. Press play, level up your next kickoff, and hold the ground you've earned.
