Is your construction company using the right planning method? If you’ve been operating on the traditional critical path method, you’re missing out on a much more efficient, cost-effective system: pull planning. 

What is pull planning and how can it help your company? According to Chad Blalock, pull planning is a collaborative tool that allows for productive communication and trust between all members of the construction project. With the pull planning method, you’ll be able to make reliable promises, deliver faster service, and easily work through all steps of the project.

In this episode of This is Concrete, Chad Gill talks with Chad Blalock, Building Systems Group Manager at W.M. Jordan Company, about the pull planning approach. Together, they discuss why pull planning works, how it can help you complete a project on time (and on budget), and how you can begin your transition into the pull planning method. Stay tuned.
