The EBFC Show: Recent Episodes
Felipe Engineer Manriquez
The Easier, Better, for Construction Show strives to make building easier and better today. We dig into design and construction topics to inspire you to develop your people, improve your processes, and take the business of building to the next level. Podcasts are published at 12AM PST every other Wednesday.
In this conversation, Adam reflects on lessons learned from Buddy Brumley, the Old Dawgs Community, and years of experience building projects in the field. Together, Felipe Engineer-Manriquez and Adam Hoots discuss why many Lean principles have existed for decades, why communication matters more than terminology, how curiosity transforms leadership, and why the best construction metrics often can't be found on a dashboard. Through stories about superintendents, project teams, jobsite toilets, production systems, and listening to craft workers, they show that construction improves when leaders genuinely care about the people doing the work.
If you are a construction leader, superintendent, project manager, Lean coach, production engineer, owner, architect, trade partner, field engineer, scheduler, or anyone interested in building better teams and better projects, this episode will challenge how you think about leadership, trust, and measuring project success.
๐ Key Takeaways Youโll Gain:
- Why respect for people is the most important Lean Construction principle
- Why traditional construction KPIs often measure the past instead of predicting the future
- How trust becomes a leading indicator for project performance

In this episode of The EBFC Show, Ines Verdun shares her experiences about takt planning, Integrated Project Delivery, Lean Construction, production engineering, and how contracts shape production flow in construction.
Ines Verdun is a civil engineer with expertise in construction management and project delivery. She holds a Master of Science in Civil Engineering from UC Berkeley College of Engineering, where she was an active member of the IPD Team at Cal Construction, focusing on Integrated Project Delivery methodologies. She also earned her Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Universidad Politรฉcnica Taiwan Paraguay and works as a Production Engineer at The Boldt Company in San Francisco.
In this conversation, Ines shares her journey from Paraguay to UC Berkeley and The Boldt Company, where she experienced firsthand how Lean Construction works inside a real construction project. Felipe and Ines explore why takt planning is not just a scheduling method, why IPD helps teams collaborate differently, and how the role of a production engineer connects the schedule, field, office, trade partners, and project goals.
The big idea: contracts shape production flow.
If you are a construction leader, project manager, superintendent, scheduler, Lean coach, production engineer, trade partner, architect, owner, or anyone interested in better project delivery, this episode will help you see why Lean tools work best when the contract, leadership, and team behaviors support shared accountability.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why takt planning is a system, not just a schedule
- How IPD supports Lean Construction and trade partner collaboration
- Why traditional contracts can make Lean behavior harder
- The difference between takt planning and CPM scheduling
- How production engineers connect the field, office, and schedule
- Why trade partners need shared goals to improve project flow
- How risk and opportunity conversations support better project outcomes
- Why leadership and transparency matter in Lean project delivery
- How AI may accelerate construction management and project delivery

Definitions:
Takt Planning / Takt Production System
Takt Planning is a flow-based planning system that organizes design or construction work by location, trade, and rhythm so teams can move through the project in a predictable sequence without overcrowding, stopping, or starving downstream work. A Takt plan is a collaboration that results in a detailed one-page, one-process flow schedule focused on throughput, production, and creates flow. It works best when paired with Lean behaviors, daily coordination, constraint removal, and field production control.
Takt is not just a schedule. It is a production system that asks: What is the repeatable rhythm of work, where does each team go next, and what needs to be ready so nobody is waiting, stacking, or reworking?
Critical Path Method Scheduling (CPM)
Critical Path Method Scheduling is a logic-based scheduling method that maps activities, durations, and dependencies to identify the longest sequence of dependent work that determines the overall project completion date. Activities on the critical path have little or no float, meaning delays to those activities can directly delay the project unless the team resequences, adds resources, reduces duration, or changes the plan.
CPM shows the chain of tasks that drives the final milestone. It answers: What must finish before something else can start, which activities control the end date, and where do we have float to absorb change?
Simple Contrast
CPM tells us what sequence controls the finish date.
Takt tells us how work should flow through locations at a reliable rhythm.
In construction terms: CPM is milestone and dependency control; Takt is production flow control.

Most construction projects run on beliefs nobody questions.
Victor Ortiz breaks down 10 misconceptions that keep teams late, over budget, and stuck in blame. From treating projects as anything other than production systems to relying on schedules that only report failure, this episode challenges how construction actually operates.
If you lead projects or work in the field, this conversation will change how you see control, planning, and team performance.
Most construction teams donโt realize theyโre running the wrong system.
You walk a job thatโs slipping. People blame each other. The schedule gets updated. Nothing improves.
Victor Ortiz has seen this for 25+ years. He worked with Glenn Ballard and Greg Howell in the early days of lean construction. Heโs coached projects across data centers, hospitals, and heavy industrial work. He also just received the LCI Northern California Lean Rock Star Award.
In this conversation, Victor breaks down 10 beliefs that keep projects late, over budget, and stuck in conflict.
Youโll hear why treating a project like anything other than a production system guarantees poor results. Why schedules report failure instead of preventing it. Why selecting the lowest bid creates more cost, not less. And why adding people to a late project makes it worse.
Victor also shares real stories from the field:
- A nuclear project that stockpiled miles of pipe with nowhere to install it
- Design teams making decisions without builder input
- Trade partners sitting silent because no one asked them to lead
If you run projects, manage teams, or push lean adoption, youโve seen these patterns. This episode gives you the language to challenge them and the logic to replace them.
Victorโs full breakdown of all 10 misconceptions blog is linked below.

What if the estimates we fight so hard to defend are actually the very thing slowing us down?
In this episode, Felipe sits down with Vasco Duarte --- Agile coach, author of #NoEstimates, and host of the Scrum Master Toolbox podcast --- for a candid conversation about why traditional estimation may be creating more illusion than clarity... and what to do instead.
Vasco brings serious field credibility. He led initiatives at Nokia involving 500 people, 100 teams, across four continents. And he saw projects fail not because the work was impossible --- but because leaders trusted the plan more than the evidence unfolding in real time.
This conversation hits home for construction and project management professionals who operate under pressure, contracts, and commitments.
Key Takeaways
- ๐ Throughput beats upfront estimation --- forecasting based on actual delivery rate consistently outperforms speculative planning.
- ๐ Scope is the real lever --- when time and budget are fixed, scope becomes the only honest variable.
- ๐ง Reality always wins --- complex work behaves stochastically. Plans that ignore this get punished.
- ๐๏ธ Pull planning isn't new --- software and construction independently discovered the same backward-planning principle.
- ๐ค Scrum is human work --- frameworks don't save teams; people do.
This episode isn't anti-planning.
It's anti-delusion.
Whether you're running a job site or leading a software team, this conversation will challenge how you think about forecasting, commitments, and control.

Construction workers and management are under increasing pressure to deliver on-time and under-budget, despite facing increasing regulations and hazards. Analog traditional project management processes lead to poor accountability, a lack of foresight, zero visibility, low productivity, and an inability to continuously improve. Kaitlin has done the research and found that 7 out of 10 front-line builders put productivity above safety and cited their work as a priority above their physical well-being. Construction fatalities are greater than even military deaths per year. We owe this and the next generation of construction owners, insurance companies, general contractors, subcontractors, and tradespeople safe projects.

โ ๏ธ Warning โ ๏ธ This episode is not for the easily offended Lean practitioner. Dr. Shahrukh Irani is an experienced industrial engineer specializing in high-mix, low-volume Lean implementations. Shahrukh has studied Lean and is a practicing industrial engineer, author, and teacher. In his own words about his book, โWARNING! This book [Job Shop Lean] is written by an Industrial Engineer who never worked at Toyota. But that did not deter me! I figured out that whatever the general public knows about the Toyota Production System aka LEAN is IE [Industrial Engineering] that Toyota used in the 1900s. And IE in the 1900s was not enabled by Operations Research, Data Science and a horde of software tools.โ His favorite place to be is where people implement Job Shop Lean in various manufacturing facilities like forge or machine shops, fabrication facilities, and shipping departments. He has applied lean problem-solving to product family formation, work cell design, production scheduling, and proven techniques to drive continuous improvement.

Be cautious of what you choose to learn. Some ideas take deep roots. Rebecca (Martin) Snelling and Dan Fauchier learned about Lean Construction, and it transformed their lives, work, and friendship on a billion-dollar project. Today they each coach people, organizations, and leaders to transform design and construction. When making a change, be aware that people may actively work against it. Beyond just Lean Construction tools, these two know how to influence projects and company culture. People that find ways to grow themselves separate learners, followers, and leaders.

Hal Macomber says, โLean is NOT a cost-cutting approach. Lean is a people development approach.โ The current state of construction is changing. More and more people are changing how we build. In this continued interview, Hal shares what actions you can take to build higher team performance while building new capabilities including his standard approach for improving project delivery. When we focus on people and improving construction flow, we will be engaged in better strategies to minimize the impact of variation and complexity.
"Use Flow as your improvement metric. Engage the people doing the work, that is how to make positive changes, and continue learning." Focus on flow, use Takt Planning, and heed the production laws. The Four Production Laws include:
- The Law of Variation
- The Theory of Constraints (bottlenecks)
- Littleโs Law (batch size and durations)
- Kingmanโs Forumla (capacity utilization and variation)

The unknown enables us to grow when we take on new challenges. You donโt have to leap into it alone when it comes to improving your work. LaShira Champion-King is a passionate builder dedicated to improving project delivery and has helped many construction project teams adopt the continuous improvement mindset. She shares her knowledge and experience in providing value while minimizing waste throughout different projects. She has decades of experience helping people transform to make their project delivery easier and better.
Gifts and Hooks Introduction Activity
Give each person four sticky notes. They will use 3 to state a gift they give to the group (e.g., experience, knowledge of what hasn't worked, Innovation), and one sticky will state a "hook" that will keep them fully engaged in the meeting/workshop (e.g., focusing on the future, open environment). Then post the sticky notes to show commonalities among the group.
*The use of sticky notes here is a part of "ninja Scrum" for LaShira. Itโs her way to start people off with the process without much suspicion.

Kate Simons and Millicent Drabble are two such individuals that are transforming the industry from within. Incremental steps taken regularly with the right people make a community, a tribe, that work together on meaningful changes.
Kateโs passion is learning, coaching, and continuous improvement. Through her role as Director of Scheduling and Controls at Shawmut Design and Construction, you can find her talking about flow, predictability, human connection, quality, creating value, and helping people translate plans and ideas into action. She is incredibly lucky in that she gets an almost daily opportunity to help jobsite teams better leverage their individual strengths, solve problems and communicate more effectively.
Kate specializes in Collaborative Planning, Scheduling, and Team Alignment/Communication. She recently volunteered to re-kickstart the New England Lean COP and has spent the last year trying new and scary experiences [like being on a podcast].

A proud poetic pragmatist, Millicent Drabble firmly believes in the power combination of being technically skilled, people savvy, and curious. With a career in the built environment that encompasses design, construction, operations, and maintenance across five countries, she knows that project management and risk management are unifying dialects across stakeholders, cultures, currency, and expectations. Itโs collaborating with and learning from a diverse array of people that really gets Millicent excited, and in her role as Manager of Construction Operations for Shawmut Design and Constructionโs West Region, she relishes the ability to do this, not only within the organization but with peers in the industry through the Urban Land Institute.
Having (almost) mastered the art of embracing uncertainty as a global nomad, Millicent leverages her leadership identity to inspire people and teams, by nurturing the confidence required to fail and evolve โ we are in the business of problem-solving after all!

Real construction innovation can be hard to see in the vast amount of marketing and market noise. Construction innovation is real.
Dan Carlton, President, Partner, and Makayla Oei, Project Executive, at Mark III Construction, Inc. shared what they are doing with building owners to standardize, integrate and innovate. Their process goes beyond conventional prefab and kitting. They integrate the full scope for mechanical, electrical, low voltage, plumbing, piping, and framing into manufactured MEP wall panels.

Frank Coln strives to create an environment of constant learning on his projects. His experiences with pull planning and the Last Planner System go beyond one size fits all approaches that often fail. He represents a growing number of construction superintendents that openly embrace Lean and actively work towards greater collaboration, patience, respect, flexibility, accountability, and use of technology. He is reflective and intentional about how processes are and are not working.
Frank says, โListen to those PMs if youโre a superintendent, theyโll have a different perspective than what you have.โ He was among the early integrated project delivery projects in Texas with an integrated form of agreement in the late 2000s as a Superintendent. The Easier, Better, for Construction Show is where people working to make building easier and better share how. Frank is committed to making construction easier and better and made numerous contributions to The Lean Builder Blog and The Lean Construction Blog.

Dr. Jeff Sutherland invented Scrum to help people make better products and services faster and with people having a good time doing it. Jeff Sutherland, Scrum co-creator, and Scrum Inc. Principal, Dee Rhoda, share why design & construction companies are implementing Scrum to:
โ gain market advantage
โ honor people to increase pride in work well done
โ drive towards desired outcomes
โ deliver projects on-time
โ deliver on-budget
โ meet customer expectations
Project teams that more quickly adapt to changes, overcome obstacles and remove bottlenecks deliver more value while having more fun too. If you are ready to serve a design and construction project team or your organization itโs time to adopt Scrum and reliably deliver your projects safely, on-time, on-budget, and to customerโs expectations. Lean and Scrum together are Jeff's recommendations for companies that want to survive today and tomorrow.
Not sure what Scrum is, watch this video to see what it is and how it works. [Updated] Scrum Framework - How Scrum Works Today via YouTube: https://youtu.be/zVNnEIf_PLY

- Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time by Jeff and JJ Sutherland
- Certain to Win by Chet Richards
- Accelerate by John P. Kotter
- A Scrum Book by Sutherland, Coplien, and The Scrum Patterns Group

If you underestimate your span of control and influence, this episode will reveal a new perspective and share uncharted paths to new careers in the construction industry.

Stephanie's deepest passion is changing the way people work and see problems in the construction industry.

Her focus on Operational Excellence is based on the belief that it is a human development strategy masquerading as an operational strategy, and therefore developing the people must be at the forefront.
