Pour deck — C2
Weekly work plan · Last Planner System
When the deck pour slips three days, the whole job moves with it.
One weekly work plan for the whole job. Every trade partner logs their own week from their own phone. Press and hold a bar, slide it, and everything waiting on that work follows. Nobody makes a phone call. Nobody finds out on Friday.
The pour lifts, slides three days and lands — framing follows to the 6th, drywall to the 13th
A · The chart
Eight work zones, six companies, one chart.
Every trade partner logs their own week, and the whole job lands on one chart with a colour for every company. Who is in which room, which day, and how many hands they're bringing.
Four weeks out, not four days. Blank rows hide themselves, so what's left on screen is work somebody has actually committed to.

B · The lean board
The same plan goes on the trailer wall.
Print the week and every company keeps its own colour, its crew count and a box to tick. Tape it up where the crews already look.
The wall and the app can't disagree with each other, because they're the same plan.
Title board, then the week sheet — colour down the spine, crew count, tick box

Ticks are days the crew closed out themselves. Move the pour and every bar downstream of it moves the same number of working days — weekends skipped.
D · The crew
They mark the day as they finish it.
No office, no spreadsheet, no photo of a whiteboard. A foreman opens his own week on his own phone and ticks the day when it's done.
A roadblock gets raised the minute somebody hits one, and it goes straight to whoever can clear it — with a name against it and a date.

E · Why it's built this way
The people doing the work are the ones who plan it.
01 · Commit
Trade partners plan their own week
Each company says what it will do and how many hands it's bringing. It isn't a bar chart handed down from the office and ignored on site.
02 · Clear
Roadblocks get raised the day they're found
Anything standing in the way of next week's work goes on the general contractor's log with an owner and a need-by date, while there's still time to clear it.
03 · Measure
You can see what actually got done
At the end of the week, what was finished against what was promised — by company. The number is uncomfortable the first month and useful after that.
Early access
