Ever noticed how schedules either lack enough design detail and then get overly complex during construction? This imbalance can cause two major headaches: Not enough clarity in the design phase = delays on-site. Too much construction detail = unnecessary complication 🎯 Key takeaway: A well-balanced schedule is your best friend. Here’s what to ask yourself: 1️⃣ Does your design phase provide enough detail to avoid hiding forecasts? 2️⃣ Will your construction phase be flexible enough to accommodate changes? 3️⃣ Does the project strategy carry over to the design and construction schedule? Get the balance right, and your project will run a lot smoother. ♻ Repost to help everyone find the right balance. Subscribe to the Beyond Deadlines podcast on YouTube https://lnkd.in/ernzi6cD
