Setting a Goal

We start by setting an achievable goal with the project team. Using historical data, we determine a reasonable percentage of hours that can be removed from the site without sacrificing quality or productivity. This approach ensures that our targets are both ambitious and realistic, allowing us to improve efficiency while maintaining high standards. This allows our project and fabrication teams to align early in the project towards a common goal, setting the tone from the beginning.

Defining Clear Deliverables

We work closely with the project team to identify all deliverables, ensuring every opportunity is accounted for. If we’re unsure about something, we don’t just brush past it, we keep it in the conversation until we can either confirm its need or confidently eliminate it. This helps prevent surprises later in the process. Another advantage this gives us is the opportunity to start the conversation earlier and more often about how to model and fit the build into the real-life conditions of the job site.

Identifying Risk Materials

One of the most critical steps in the planning process is identifying potential risk materials. Any components that, due to quantity, specificity, or lead time, could impact the project’s timeline down the road. By addressing these concerns early, we can reduce potential delays, keep production moving smoothly in the shop, and installations moving on the job site.

Scheduling for Success

Effective scheduling is about more than just setting deadlines. We carefully examine potential conflicts between modeling timelines, sign-offs, and construction schedules, ensuring everything aligns. We also look for any stacked work that could create delays in production, trade stacking that could lead to a shift in install timelines, and duration restrictions on-site. By addressing these scheduling challenges upfront, we help create a smoother workflow and prevent delays for all stakeholders.

By planning with the end in mind, teams can align project objectives with fabrication advantages, ensuring the workflow is optimized from the start. At Staff Electric, it’s all about smart planning and teamwork to deliver the best results for our customers.
