Focus on a jobsite is managing job safety and costs. This becomes more challenging when more and more employees are added to a jobsite to achieve schedule commitments. As a Lean Construction company, ArchKey/ Parsons Electric’s goal is to continuously improve which means looking at the way things are done and finding better, smarter, and faster ways to achieve outcomes without adding cost or sacrificing safety. The team observed the high installation time of hangers and set a goal to transition the work into prefabrication – achieving better quality, reducing cost and employee headcount while onsite as well as improving safety due to reduced lift time required.
