All eyes are on the deadline.

In commercial construction management, interior finishing projects often suffer from quality and cost issues as deadlines approach. As crews work quickly to complete finishing work in more than one area ahead of the deadline, multiple trades end up working in the same areas simultaneously, impacting productivity and quality.

  • When trades are dependent on other trades’ finished work, bottlenecks occur.
  • Avoiding these bottlenecks depends on efficient allocation of resources.
  • To do this right, large-scale projects need to be managed on a component basis.

Flow and THE Clear Flow MATRIX

Originally built to provide a straight-forward visual tool for managing commercial construction scheduling, the The Clear Flow Matrix is the best solution for organizing trades and coordinating production flow for maximum efficiency. The Clear Flow Matrix is a simple two-dimensional grid composed of work areas and trade work activity with an embedded timeline component.

  • First, identify finish areas located across the project
  • Second, identify Pacemaker Activities– the various trades at work across the project
  • Understand visually who should be doing what, when with the Clear Flow Matrix.
