TPS? is powerful, but it requires proper implementation to succeed. This visual outlines key pitfalls, such as sticking only to a 5-day takt, neglecting to include buffers, or failing to align builders and manage procurement early in the process. It also emphasizes the importance of splitting and leveling work packages and involving the team in plan development. By avoiding these common mistakes and following Takt standards, you can ensure smoother, more efficient project execution. Explore the Takt Guide for more insights!

Drones + Construction = Smarter Progress Using drones for photogrammetry transforms how we see and manage job sites. With detailed 3D models, teams get a clear, real-time view of progress, improving communication and collaboration. Why it works: Accuracy: Precise 3D data reduces planning and execution errors. Efficiency: Faster and more cost-effective than traditional surveying. Safety: Drones reach hazardous areas so workers don’t have to. Tracking: Visual progress updates keep timelines on track. Communication: Share virtual updates with stakeholders for better decisions. This is the future of project management—safer, faster, smarter. Are you ready to embrace it?

The 12 Principles of the Takt Production System? guide teams to elevate the construction industry with flow and stability through Takt planning. These principles emphasize key beliefs, such as starting with zone density, creating clear and beautiful schedules, and aligning plans with those building the job. From managing procurement and logistics to protecting trade flow, these principles ensure production systems are effective, schedules are functional, and quality control drives faster results. By following these steps, teams can safeguard budgets, durations, and trade partner success. Let these principles shape your mindset for smoother and more efficient projects!

The Weekly Work Plan is your guide for the upcoming week, broken down zone by zone, with information drawn directly from the Takt Plan. Purpose: To see daily production for every activity, adjust as needed, and ensure everything runs smoothly. How to use it: Take it into the field, use it daily for zone control, and collaborate in your daily meetings. With this tool, you can plan ahead, finish as you go, manage handoffs, remove roadblocks, and keep everything moving on time and in sync. Make it a part of your workflow and see the difference it makes in project execution!

Shout out to Irvin David Rincones Guzmán for his promotion to Lead Lean Engineer. His continuos growth, dedication and contributions to the team are remarkable.

A 4D macro is a high-level scheduling model that combines a macro production plan with key logistics to streamline construction planning and monitoring. Using simplified model elements, it visualizes major project phases and trade partner flow through color-changing zones, while incorporating logistics like delivery points and access routes. This approach enables clear communication and coordination, ideal for early project planning and progress tracking. Ready to streamline your next project with a 4D macro? Let’s get started!

A Look Ahead Schedule is a powerful Lean tool designed to prepare teams for success by anticipating and organizing the tasks ahead. It ensures smoother project flow by making work ready, aligning procurement, and identifying potential roadblocks in advance. From equipment and materials to tools, permissions, and labor, this tool helps teams check for everything they need—and if something’s missing, they catch it early enough to solve it!

In our new article with LCI, we break down Takt time and show how it brings rhythm and flow to every phase of a project. Whether you're managing a team or working on-site, this approach can help everyone work together seamlessly. Check it out and see how Takt planning could make a difference on your projects!

A Field Engineer is the ultimate problem-solver on construction sites, always ready to figure things out and support the Craft in any way needed. Think of them as the "Honey Badger" of the field—no challenge is too tough. Their role is crucial, focusing on the "where" aspects of construction, and they often serve as mentors to future superintendents. Field Engineers bring technical expertise, a proactive mindset, and excellent problem-solving skills to the table. From ensuring safety and quality to creating lift drawings and handling layout and control, their diverse responsibilities are key to keeping projects running smoothly and efficiently.

3D logistics brings a whole new level of precision and detail to logistics management, transforming how teams approach complex projects. By visualizing logistics in 3D, it helps identify potential issues before they happen, allowing teams to take proactive steps. This approach is especially valuable in tight spaces and high-complexity environments, ensuring everything flows smoothly and efficiently from start to finish. It's a game-changer that enhances planning accuracy and boosts overall project success!
