Schedule:
Build two- to six-week look-ahead plans for assigned trades; sequence with the GC to hit milestones.
Monitor partner capacity, inspections, and lead times to ensure just-in-time delivery.
Run weekly production huddles for assigned trades; track commitments and percent-complete; remove blockers early.

Keep stakeholders aligned through decision logs, action trackers, and risk registers; escalate issues with options and impacts for further review.
