About Us

Elevate Construction exists to build remarkable systems that build the world!

When we are done construction will be as respected as the professions. When we are done high school kids will work in construction because they want to. When we are done every worker will be respected, every leader will be trained, and families at home will be protected and preserved because their loved ones are protected and preserved. Elevate Construction will improve the lives of everyone that works in construction.

Our History

History

A Solid Foundation

After learning how to be a builder for 14 years at Hensel Phelps, learning culture, lean, and scheduling at DPR for 4 years, and applying lean methodologies and builder fundamentals on hundreds of projects as a general superintendent and director, Jason began Elevate Construction with his partner Kate Schroeder for the purpose of scaling operational excellence. We do not have to accept failed projects. We can win on every project, every time.

our values

Core values

We are open about who we are, how we feel and what we think. We share emails, messages, decisions, and information that helps the team work together. We do not keep secrets and we do not silo.

We answer everything by asking, “what would respect people?” What would respect our employees, our customers, society, and ourselves. We do not do things that disrespects people.

We always do the right thing regardless of the consequences. When we are faced with a moral, ethical, or legal dilemma, the decision has already been made.

We do not just charge customers-we deliver value to clients. We are not in this to give advice and help. We do this to drive and change the industry. We are top performers and we work with top performers.

We Honey Badger all of our assignments and figure things out. We follow Schroeder’s Law.

Schroeder’s Law:

It’s better to make mistakes and fail with a growth mindset and an understanding team than it is to play it safe and go slow. Figure things out! Be the Honey Badger!!

We want people to be truly happy and passionate about working here. If you are into changing the world and inspiring people, this is your place. We want to work with fulfilled and happy people.

The Solutions

Companies change when they implement three key systems:

Personal & Team Organization Systems

Project leaders cannot train, improve, or implement if they do not have a personal organization system, and the team cannot function if they do not work together. Personal and team organization is the first step in any scaling effort.

Integrated Production Control System™

Schroeder developed the Integrated Production Control System™ to create success for projects from every level, and for every worker. The system combines all Lean thinking ideas into a construction project delivery system.

TPS®

Projects fail because they start out incorrectly. They start with the wrong plan and schedule, and two-thirds of the way through are in chaos. Only with the Takt Production System® can a project be planned with flow.

our Approach

01

1 5s

Projects start off right when we stabilize the project with respect and stability in clean, safe, and organized environments.

02

2 One Piece Flow

The central theme of all Lean thinking is the concept of one-piece flow. We get teams to work on one thing at a time.

03

3 Flow Together

Once our teams are working in one-piece flow, the goal is to get everyone working together at the same speed.

04

4 The Operating System

Based on these Lean principles, we develop a company operating system that guides success your way.

05

5 Training

Everyone must be trained on the same system for it to work. We provide the training systems that bring the system into the hearts of the people.

06

6 Ownership & Accountability

Monthly field walks are crucial to scaling the system and the training throughout the company. Everyone must take ownership and hold each other accountable.

Develop the Person

The Builder Approach

Before we ever attempt to build things, we build the builder. Eight core habits shape how our
people think, plan, and work together — the foundation everything else stands on.

The Learning Habit

Continuous learning built into the daily rhythm, not left to chance.

Clarity & Organization

A personal organization system that keeps every builder aligned.

Three Short-Term Habits

Daily disciplines that compound fast.

Three Long-Term Habits

The habits that carry a builder's growth over years, not weeks.

The Planning Method

A consistent way to plan, so every project starts the same strong way.

The Meeting & Huddle System

Structured touchpoints that keep teams in sync.

Standing Tactical Orders

Clear, repeatable direction so nothing depends on memory.

Mindset

The Lean Way — the lens every decision runs through.

Implement the System

The Lean Model

Lean is the willingness to learn and implement excellence for the purpose of benefiting people and humanity. Six cores — and a seventh for logistics — are the path to that outcome.

Respect for People, Nature & Resources

Every system we build starts from respect for the crew, the site, and what’s used to build it.

Stability &
Standardization

Clean, safe, organized environments that projects can stabilize around.

One Piece, Process, or Progress Flow

The central theme of all Lean thinking — one thing at a time.

Flowing Together on a Takt Time & Pull

Teams working at the same speed, together.

Total Participation & Visual Systems

Everyone engaged, everything visible.

Quality & Continuous Improvement

Getting it right, then getting it better, every time.

Lean Logistics

The seventh core — dedicated entirely to how materials and information move.

Scale It Company-Wide

How We Scale

This is the way we scale: select a business system, decide on an operating system, train it
throughout the company, then hold it in place with monthly field walks.
