Quick, Quick , Quick, Quick….. slow

I have learnt that the pace of construction for a new building varies. Whilst you can plan, co-ordinate and liase with the builder and suppliers for the continued manufacturing of materials off site and supply of product, production bottlenecks can and do occur, even in unlikely locations. Now it is how quickly you anticipate/spot the bottleneck and work to keep your production on track. Over the last month Moonlight has suffered so where was the production bottleneck, well seasonal bouts of the flu, and the recruitment by a major heavy industrial operation in the district at considerable salary premiums of skilled sub-trades in the region drained one of the sub-trades of staff. This second bottle-neck is worth a case study in some many ways from a business perspective.

Moonlight does not have a big team, we are building one special house, but the learning from this project here translate for main event, the hotel, whilst the team would be larger it will be prudent to spend some time at the white board thinking through the what ifs with key advisors on the hotel.

Still this part of the experience is behind us, production rate of material has picked up to the norm and move forward, locking down the last of the sub trades.
