Ep.1656 - How to Start a Construction Project Strong and Avoid Early Delays

In this episode, Jason continues the IPCS series by explaining how teams can prepare to start a construction project strong. He covers the critical work that must happen before and after the notice to proceed, including mobilization, permits, temporary utilities, trade partner preparation, staffing, safety, and spatial planning. Without this preparation, teams can lose weeks immediately and spend the rest of the project trying to recover time that may never be regained. What you'll learn in this episode: Why teams must prepare during the 90 days before and after the notice to proceed. How temporary utilities, permits, trailers, and mobilization affect the project start. Why trade partners need pre-mobilization meetings and clear installation work packages. How day-by-day spatial planning improves foundations, basements, and early concrete work. Why losing time at the beginning creates delays that are difficult to recover later. Are you preparing your project to start with stability, or allowing the first weeks to become a series of preventable surprises?
