Construction of pavements before laying water pipe lines. Is that the example of it? Mentioned at 02:49

One of the challenges I’ve experienced with this method is this are LONG meetings. Depending on the project and milestones, 3-4 hours. They’re productive, but trade partners who aren’t as invested require a little “encouragement.”

If your meetings run that long , your milestones are too far apart. Should be about 3 months. Are your trade partners prepared when coming to the meeting? If not try having a pre-meeting. Discuss expectations, ask if they have any questions, have them prepare there stickies with just their activity, duration and manpower.

We send a spreadsheet task list with the invitation to the meeting and ask our trade contractors to fill in their tasks ahead of time. It saves a ton of time.

Do you think pull Planning will work on small projects? Like workers will be on site for 3 to 4 weeks.

[@jasonwilliamschroeder]

I do. You can practically run your schedule on small jobs with pull plans. I see a lot of complaining about how long meetings take, but this is just how construction projects are scheduled. It makes no sense to create a schedule for someone else just so they can throw the schedule in the trash. You are on track with your question.

I can’t imagine getting buy in from our trade partners for long meetings. Unless it’s one of our high rise projects, which involves a different group of partners.

Your concern may be real. Have you ever read, “How Big Things Get Done?” I think it’s an amazing book and the author talks about this.
