Lean Construction
At CG Schmidt, we use lean thinking to maximize efficiency, minimize waste, and enhance project outcomes. Instead of adopting a reactionary approach, our lean construction managers adjust the project approach in real-time. By standardizing design, streamlining material procurement and leveraging prefabrication and manufacturing, CG Schmidt delivers a safer, more cost-effective project in less time.
Pull Sessions
Pull planning sessions are a critical component of the construction process, serving as a collaborative platform to align the goals and expectations of owners, architects, and construction teams. These sessions facilitate a reverse-engineering approach to project scheduling, starting with the end goal and working backward to identify milestones, dependencies, and deliverables. By bringing all stakeholders together, pull sessions promote transparency, improve communication, and encourage a shared understanding of project priorities. This proactive planning method not only reduces inefficiencies and potential delays but also ensures that each team is aligned with the project’s overall vision, fostering a culture of accountability and collaboration that drives successful outcomes.
