Why Pillar 10 is a game‑changer
In trade businesses like carpentry, painting, tiling and concreting, time is literally money. When your crew moves efficiently from job to job, jobs finish sooner, clients are happier, and profit grows. Yet many businesses still rely on old school scheduling or manual progress tracking. That slows things down, shakes up clarity and eats profit.
Pillar 10 brings a systemised, trade‑focused approach so your team hits deadlines, avoids delays, and stays consistent. It means more done, more profit, and a smoother operation.
What Pillar 10 includes
1. Planning every phase in detail
Break each job into stages—prep, delivery, execution, hand‑over. Use a simple tradesheet or checklist so crew know the steps and timings. When tradespeople know exactly what’s expected, they stay on task and avoid hold‑ups.
2. Standardising tools, materials and methods
Consistency wins—in tools, materials and working approaches. Agree on how you prep surfaces, mix mortar, apply finishes. That reduces mistakes, re‑work, and ensures each job meets your quality standard.
3. Visual workflows and progress tracking
Use visual boards or simple app tools to track task progress—what’s done, what’s next. That visibility means fewer surprises, better scheduling, and fewer idle hours.
4. Commencing jobs with clarity meetings
Start each jobsite with a five‑minute huddle: what’s to get done today, who’s on what task, safety reminders, and where to park or unload gear. It builds focus and keeps team energy aligned from the first minute.
5. Review and feedback loops
At job’s end, talk through what went well, what slowed you down, and how to improve next work. Use those learnings to tweak your setup, reduce delays, and continuously improve performance.
The advantage of completing more work
- More billable hours: Finishing jobs faster means you can fit in more—more installs, more time on site, more output.
- Lower cost per job: Streamlined workflows reduce wasted time, errors, and re‑work that eats into your margins.
- Better client satisfaction: When you deliver to schedule, clients trust you more—and they refer you.
- Reduced stress: Teams know the plan, know how to follow it, and work confidently.
- Continuously improving operation: Feedback and review help you tweak methods to become steadily more efficient.
An example in action: ResVita tiling crew
Suppose you manage a tiling crew working across multiple small bathroom jobs.
- Pre‑start planning sheet: You map out each room into prep and tile stages—pull off old tiles, prep walls, fix, grout, clean up. You assign team roles, materials, and expected hours.
- Standard tools and checklist: You ensure each tradie has the same tile cutter, trowel, sponge type, tile spacers. You standardise mix ratios and grout finish technique. That prevents mistakes and confusion.
- Daily job huddle: At 7:30 am, you stand with your team in each bathroom, outline today’s tasks, safety hazards, and which rooms get done in which order.
- Visual board or whiteboard: As tiles get laid, you tick off stages—wall prep done, floor tiles set, grout complete. Everyone sees progress and knows what’s next.
- End‑of‑day feedback: You ask, “What slowed you today? What gear is missing? Any tidy‑up needed before tomorrow?” That lets you fix issues early—not after the next job starts.
How you can start Pillar 10 today
- Create a job phase template—prep, execution, cleanup—for your key trade.
- Standardise your tools and method guides: save that standard mix ratio, trowel size, safety setup in one doc.
- Hold a quick start‑of‑day huddle on site.
- Use a whiteboard or simple app to track stages visually—everyone knows where they’re at.
- Talk with your team at the end of each job about what worked and what didn’t, then adjust.
