Construction is one of the most powerful forces on earth. We shape skylines, move mountains, consume massive resources, and influence the daily lives of everyone who touches our projects. That kind of power demands something most construction systems have forgotten: Respect. Real respect—built into the way we plan, the way we lead, the way we treat craft, and the way we steward the world around us. In Elevating Construction The Lean Way — Book 1, Jason Schroeder brings Lean thinking back to what it was always meant to be—not a productivity hack, not a set of tools, and not another ...

Book 2 of Elevating Construction General Superintendents goes beyond theory and dives into the lived reality of executive field leadership. This is not a management book. It is a field-tested playbook written for general superintendents, field directors, operations leaders, and those preparing to step into those roles. Inside these pages, Jason Schroeder draws from decades in the field — and the collective wisdom of elite builders across the country — to answer the questions no one else is addressing: How do you build winning teams instead of surviving projects? How do you install ...

Construction isn’t broken because people don’t care—it’s broken because the system they’re forced to use was never designed to work. 10 Myths About CPM is a bold, no-BS takedown of the Critical Path Method—a system that’s hijacked the construction industry for decades. In this unapologetic book, Jason Schroeder pulls back the curtain on how CPM drives chaos, overburdens teams, wrecks trust, and quietly systematizes disrespect for the very people who build our projects. This isn’t theory. It’s real-world. It’s raw. It’s field-tested. Inside, you’ll uncover: Why CPM ...

Senior level superintendents on projects should be the chief people officers (CPO) of their teams. This position does a less physical work and more mentoring of others doing the work. In fact, while most entry level superintendent positions execute work, senior leaders lead, organize, and build teams. This book is about building remarkable teams that build remarkable projects. To do this, you must have three key things: a multiplier leader, a strong team, and a strenuous performance target, goal, or milestone. With these three in place, any team can win! This book will help you become the ...

They don’t just run the job—they set the tone for the entire culture. General superintendents are more than master builders. They’re guardians of the site culture, mentors to future leaders, and the steady hand guiding chaotic projects toward clarity and flow. This book is a principle-based playbook for today’s construction field leaders—those who want more than to “run work.” It offers clear strategies, hard-won lessons, and field-proven systems to help superintendents lead people, manage complexity, and maintain control without command and control. This book is also a call ...

All Progress Starts Here! All successful construction projects rely on the ability of the crew leaders. Full stop. They are the last people in the planning cycle and the first people in the field on the front line. What's more, workers and crew leaders are the only positions that directly earn money in our industry; therefore, they are the most important from a quality, safety, schedule, and profit standpoint. They are our heroes, professionals, and skilled craft. Everything we do in construction should successfully bring materials, information, equipment, tools, and open areas to our crew ...

The Last Planner® System has helped thousands of construction teams collaborate better, communicate clearer, and make stronger commitments. But most teams aren’t getting the results they were promised. --Foremen still feel the pressure. --Weekly plans still get rebuilt. --Roadblocks still show up too late. --And flow still collapses under the weight of bad production systems. Here’s the truth: The Last Planner® System isn’t broken. It’s just rarely supported the way it was meant to be. For years, the industry has tried to run a people-centered commitment system on top of CPM ...

Son nuestros héroes, profesionales y artesanos expertos. Todo lo que hacemos en la construcción debe brindar materiales, ...

To be a great surveyor you must learn to merge the application of state of the art procedure and technology with the time tested back-to-basic fundamentals of survey and layout. Concepts like chaining, three-wire-leveling, averaging angles and traversing control are just as applicable today as they have always been. Knowing how to use a total station and data collector does not make a Surveyor. Surveyors who are true builders position structures and record locational data with both accuracy and precision, know the math, the tech, the methods, current practices. builder fundamentals and the ...

Los superintendentes sénior en un proyecto deberían ser los directores de personal (CPO, por sus siglas en inglés) de sus equipos. Esta posición realiza menos trabajo físico y se dedica principalmente a orientar a los demás en la realización del trabajo. De hecho, mientras que la mayoría de los superintendentes de nivel inicial ejecutan el trabajo, los líderes sénior dirigen, organizan y construyen equipos. Este libro trata sobre la construcción de equipos destacados que desarrollan proyectos notables. Para lograr esto, debes tener tres elementos clave: un líder multiplicador, ...

La industria de la construcción no está rota porque a la gente no le importe—está rota porque el sistema que se ven obligados a usar nunca fue diseñado para funcionar. 10 Mitos sobre el CPM es una crítica audaz y sin rodeos al Método de la Ruta Crítica: un sistema que ha secuestrado la industria de la construcción durante décadas. En este libro sin tapujos, Jason Schroeder revela cómo el CPM genera caos, sobrecarga a los equipos, destruye la confianza y, silenciosamente, convierte en un sistema la falta de respeto hacia las personas que realmente construyen nuestros proyectos. ...
