Foreman Upgrade Training
Enabling Success – Creating Alignment Between Field and Office with Maxim Consulting
Wednesday, January 15
For construction firms to thrive, synergy, teamwork and trust must exist between the office and the field. The proper deployment of defined processes and tools will facilitate this critical alignment. This collaboration must begin before mobilization and continue through project closeout. During this session, we will discuss the workflow that must exist to mitigate risk and maximize productivity, along with why the processes of preconstruction planning, short interval planning, production tracking, daily project reports, exit strategy and lessons learned are critical to the organization. We'll also discuss the benefits for each member of the team, and how these processes can be properly implemented.
Learning Objectives:
• Describe the information needed to effectively navigate preconstruction planning
• Learn the critical communication required in short interval planning
• Discuss the importance of accurate production tracking
• Identify the needed data transfer of a daily project report
• Outline the data collection required of the project team during closeout and lessons learned
