10 Tips To Increase Your Jobsite Productivity

  1. Prepare Your Work Area
    Keep loading areas at least two truck lengths long for quick cycles and truck exchanges.
  2. Plan Your Jobsite
    Store materials close to the work. Plan your jobsite layout for maximum efficiency.
  3. Provide On-site Supervision
    Keep a supervisor on site to handle any issues, facilitate communication and enforce safety.
  4. Seek Input
    Empower your team. Achieve process improvement from a variety of perspectives.
  5. Integrate Systems
    To achieve the fastest cycles and highest productivity from loading equipment, carefully match machine, attachments and GET to the application and material.
  6. Schedule Your Work
    Technology enables you to significantly increase productivity by planning work beforehand to minimize movement of jobsite equipment and materials.
  7. Analyze Project Reports Frequently
    What you don’t know can hurt you and your operation. Monitor job costing and equipment health data to address and correct issues as quickly as possible.
  8. Manage Equipment
    Unscheduled downtime time is the enemy of deadlines, productivity and budgets. A thorough preventive maintenance program can increase profits by more than 10 percent.
  9. Improve Safety
    Make jobsite safety a priority. Don’t become a statistic. The construction industry has one of the highest worker accident rates per number of worker hours completed.
  10. Pay Attention to Quality
    Focus on performing high-quality work. Poor quality increases rework, impairs productivity and can harm your hard-earned reputation.
