Buddy Brumley – The OG Lean Builder
Buddy is the ideal lean builder who has witnessed various ways of delivering work and has settled on a lean mindset and approach to the construction industry. Hear Buddy talk about the transition of the industry over the course of his career. As an employee for Skiles Group, Buddy is one of the Original Lean Builders and a true inspiration to the industry!
Buddy delivers this podcast from his jobsite office, as the mud was drying on the walls! There is a little bit of jobsite noise at Hoots’ request! Buddy offered to do the podcast in his truck, but Hoots insisted on the real job site noise. There is something about those noises that complete this podcast.
Buddy teaches the Lean Builder nation his philosophy on tracking what work has been installed vs. what work has not been installed and when to flip to a rolling completion list.
Hear about the Old school Buddy and how and why his wife coined the term Crap ‘n’ Oh Crap cards! This was his tracking mechanism before utilizing the visual roadblock management tool! Now utilizing lean builder tools for most of the things he’s doing, his projects are succeeding, and the work has become easier on him and those around him.
An amazing episode with some fantastic advice sprinkled throughout…
