Ep.1649 - How to Start Every Construction Phase Right
from Elevate Construction · host Jason Schroeder
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?
