Good Communication is at the heart of any successful project.
As building professionals, over 90% of our time is spent exchanging knowledge, information, and ideas. Communication breakdowns are nearly always the source of a building project challenge or setback.
Good communication systems and strategies are essential to keeping a project flowing seamlessly. HempStone supports stakeholder communication, engagement, and accountability with a philosophy of Integrated Project Delivery.

Integrated Design Process
Integrated Design Process
Integrated design engages the various professional silos of architecture, engineering, construction, and building systems to think of the project as an integrated whole.
Pull Planning
Pull Planning Session
Pull planning is a collaborative approach to project scheduling, that takes a reverse approach to sequencing in order to successfully attain project milestones.
Both Integrated Design and Pull Planning involve gathering team members from each component of the project to communicate their ideas, constraints, and dependencies. These processes bring together all the essential stakeholders at critical points in the design/build process. These sessions clarify, focus, and direct productive action on project goals.
The result is a high-functioning team of people working on a streamlined production schedule, collectively committed to building a well-designed, high performance structure.
