I do. You can practically run your schedule on small jobs with pull plans. I see a lot of complaining about how long meetings take, but this is just how construction projects are scheduled. It makes no sense to create a schedule for someone else just so they can throw the schedule in the trash. You are on track with your question.
I can’t imagine getting buy in from our trade partners for long meetings. Unless it’s one of our high rise projects, which involves a different group of partners.
One of the challenges I’ve experienced with this method is this are LONG meetings. Depending on the project and milestones, 3-4 hours. They’re productive, but trade partners who aren’t as invested require a little “encouragement.”
If your meetings run that long , your milestones are too far apart. Should be about 3 months. Are your trade partners prepared when coming to the meeting? If not try having a pre-meeting. Discuss expectations, ask if they have any questions, have them prepare there stickies with just their activity, duration and manpower.
We send a spreadsheet task list with the invitation to the meeting and ask our trade contractors to fill in their tasks ahead of time. It saves a ton of time.

Learning it from your channel to apply on my construction company. Thank you bud.
Love your videos
Construction of pavements before laying water pipe lines.
Is that the example of it? Mentioned at 02:49
Do you think pull Planning will work on small projects? Like workers will be on site for 3 to 4 weeks.

Your concern may be real. Have you ever read, “How Big Things Get Done?” I think it’s an amazing book and the author talks about this.
