There are many ways to increase job productivity, and it all starts with planning ahead to avoid potential problems. It isn’t hard, but it is very important in the early stages of a job. Time is money, and a little planning can save a whole lot of both!
- Make sure you have what you need. Consider renting forms to provide extra panels and fillers for those big jobs to keep up a good pace.
- Make substitutions. For instance, if you need an 18" filler that you don’t have in stock, use a 10" and an 8" filler.
- If you need to order construction materials, make sure that the order is placed with sufficient lead time to avoid backorders, schedule changes, and construction delays.
- Make sure that the forming system is being used correctly. Using Wedge Bolts at every slot in your Steel-Ply forms increases setting and stripping time, and requires unnecessary parts.
- Have enough forms and accessories on hand. If you skimp to save a few dollars in rental or purchase, you will pay in lower productivity.
- Preplanning the form drop-off point can speed form setting. Stage forms close to where they will be set to reduce handling.
- Similarly, when stripping forms, move the forms to the next pour location to eliminate handling the forms twice.
