Improve Project Profitability
Facilitated Pre-Planning Sessions
Develop Action Plans For Starting Your Next Project
The construction process is very inefficient with 36% of craft labor hours spent on NON-INSTALLATION activities!
This presents a HUGE OPPORTUNITY for contractors that take the time to become more proactive in pre-planning their projects.

When starting up a new project there is a lot of opportunity to change or improve your current systems. This service combines three modules from our "Profit Happens Here" Project Team Training (Pre-Planning, Impacted Jobsite Productivity & Production Tracking) along with group exercises specific to a project.
The facilitation is delivered in three separate sessions that are approximately 4 hours in length for the entire project team, up to 12 people. The facilitation is done via conference call and online tools.

Project Pre-Planning
Establish the cost of finding errors early versus finding them during or after construction. Go over the key areas of pre-planning a project including buyout, safety, work plan and installation details.
Group Exercise: Work with the project team and develop a list of key activities that can be pre-planned and assign responsibilities.
Impacted Productivity
What is productivity? What impacts productivity? How much does it really cost and what can be done? Learn the effects of multiple change orders, design conflicts and out-of-sequence work including proper documentation of impacts.
Group Exercise: Create a list of major activities on the project and potential impacts to productivity that the team expects. Prioritize the list based on size of activity and size of expected impact. Discuss mitigation and create an action plan for the expected impacts.
Production Tracking
Learn the difference between production tracking and budgeting/job costing. This is the key to improving your bottom line on projects and proving loss-of-productivity to an owner or general contractor in a claim.
Group Activity: Build on the list of the biggest production activities and work together creating a system to track productivity on them along with some production targets based on the estimate / budget.
