What is Lean Construction Training?

Lean construction training is hands-on education that teaches project teams how to plan and run work with flow—reducing waste, delays, and rework. Elevate Construction’s programs cover Takt Planning, the Last Planner® System, and field leadership, turning theory into practical systems your superintendents and PMs can apply on the jobsite immediately.

What topics does Elevate's Lean construction training cover?

Elevate’s Lean construction training covers core systems like the Last Planner System, Takt planning, and pull planning, along with field leadership, reliable scheduling, and building a people-first team culture. Sessions focus on practical, jobsite-ready application rather than theory, so participants can put the methods to work on live projects right away.

Who leads Elevate's Lean construction training?

Elevate’s training is led by experienced construction practitioners, including Founder and COO Jason Schroeder — a construction executive and author focused on Lean, Takt planning, and field leadership.

How much does Lean construction training cost?

Training cost depends on format, group size, and how much of the program your team needs — from a single workshop to a full multi-session curriculum. Elevate builds a custom quote after understanding your team’s goals rather than listing a fixed price. Reach out for pricing tailored to your team and schedule.
