Ep. 701 - Lean Onboarding Series - Plan, Build, Finish

Jason Schroeder kicks off a new lean onboarding and orientation series designed to be used directly on job sites, starting with the foundational concept: plan it first, build it right, and finish as you go. He breaks down what real planning requires, why quality at the source depends on an engaged crew free from pressure to rush, and why Little's Law proves that finishing an area completely before moving on actually shortens overall project duration.
