Have you seen the Nodal trend that says: “if we organize ourselves, we'll get married in a month”?
Well, something similar happens in construction: there are times when the customer pushes the date, unforeseen events accumulate and suddenly you have to finish a project in record time.
The question is: is it possible?
The answer: Yes, but not by magic. It is achieved with clear priorities, intelligent methodologies and a team that rows in the same direction.
If today you're stuck with a date that seems impossible, here's what you need to know 👇.
1. Prioritize what really matters
When time is short, the worst thing you can do is want to do everything.
- Ask yourself: what deliverables are critical to that project? It works?
- What things can be postponed or resolved later?
This simple filter releases energy and focuses the equipment on what really impacts.
2. Reverse planning: from end to start
El Last Planner System it doesn't fail. View the last day and scroll back:
- What should be ready yes or yes in the end?
- What tasks fuel that result?
- What dependencies can't be moved?
When you plan backwards, everyone understands the critical route and no one is distracted by secondary activities.
3. Digital communication, without paper or rumors
When times fly by, poor communication kills progress. Centralize everything: reports, photos, changes and responsibilities on a single platform. The clear flow saves discussions and gives you speed.
4. Strong alliances with suppliers and subcontractors
It's no use planning if your allies don't respond. Negotiate urgent deliveries, activate extra shifts and adjust supply schedules. An aligned supplier can be the difference between achieving it or not.
