going to have some fun okay so first and foremost let's say that this right here is your start date on your project you really want to get these first mobilization foundations excavation these activities like really going well and you want to come out of the gate really hitting it hard really going fast now you know me I'm not a p sure I'm a driver but if we want to drive 80 M an hour at the beginning of the project is the time to do it later on in the project when you have 40 different trade Partners it's hard to speed up or slow down without massive consequences but when you have a couple of Trades here at the beginning we must get out of the gate fast so what I want to say is about 3 months before you start the actual project we had better be to a spot where the builders are involved and we have our macro level T plan which means our master schedule and our Norm level tack plan we'd better be looking at long lead procurement right so before we start if you have Shoring if you have post tension systems if you have complex reinforcing types if you have anything that you need to start this building you better have managed the long lead procurement before we come to that stage so that's why I love preconstruction efforts is because you can go ahead and get deferred submittals for the post tension out you can get your detailing for your concrete structure going you can get your showing systems designed and get those shop drawings going through and get them approved right anything that you need here needs to be done in preconstruction so one of the first things that we need to look at is procurement right do we have long lead procurement items coming on the way for the things that we need so let's check it out obviously you're going to have switch gear obviously you're going to have air handlers if you have curtain wall on your project unitized curtain wall on your project you're going to have to get that out if you have tile from Italy anything that's long lead elevators needs to be taken care of in preconstruction and the way that I like to do this is if you have a macro or Norm level tack plan meaning your production plan you work those back and you trigger those you start the buy out in the procurement process when it's needed so you can start right here so if you want to know how to really manage a construction project early on make sure that you're managing procurement in a remarkable way the other thing that I
