Keeping Multifamily Projects on Schedule with Smart Phasing & Logistics

Multifamily developments are large-scale projects with multiple moving parts. Without strategic construction phasing and logistical planning, delays and inefficiencies can quickly derail a project, impacting budgets, timelines, and overall success.

At KennMar Construction, we take a proactive approach to project phasing, ensuring that every stage of construction is carefully planned, sequenced, and executed to maximize efficiency. From site prep and foundational work to unit delivery and final inspections, our team ensures that projects stay on track from groundbreaking to occupancy.

1. Strategic Phasing for Efficiency & Cost Control

Breaking a multifamily development into well-defined phases is essential for maintaining a smooth workflow, preventing bottlenecks, and keeping costs in check.

Potential Challenges:

  • Overlapping trades and workforce scheduling issues leading to delays.
  • Misaligned supply chain logistics causing material shortages at critical phases.
  • Uncoordinated inspections and approvals slowing project progress.

KennMar Construction’s Approach:

To ensure seamless execution, we:

  • Develop detailed phasing plans that coordinate site prep, foundation work, vertical construction, and interior buildouts efficiently.
  • Align material deliveries with construction schedules to prevent shortages or excessive storage needs.
  • Utilize real-time project tracking tools to monitor progress, identify potential delays early, and adjust as needed.

By taking a structured approach to phasing, we optimize the construction timeline while reducing unnecessary costs and inefficiencies.

2. Workforce Coordination & Site Logistics

Managing multiple subcontractors, labor teams, and deliveries on a multifamily job site requires precise coordination to avoid delays and conflicts.

Potential Challenges:

  • Overcrowding on-site due to multiple trades working simultaneously.
  • Limited space for staging materials leading to clutter and inefficiencies.
  • Scheduling conflicts that create downtime for key trades.

KennMar Construction’s Approach:

  • Staggered work schedules ensure that trades work efficiently without interfering with one another.
  • Optimized material staging strategies reduce congestion and allow for smooth workflow.
  • Lean construction principles keep the site organized, ensuring teams have access to necessary resources without excess waste.

Through careful workforce planning and on-site logistics management, we create a structured job site where efficiency and safety remain top priorities.

3. Overcoming Supply Chain & Material Delivery Challenges

In today’s construction environment, supply chain disruptions are a common challenge that can impact schedules and budgets. A lack of key materials at critical phases can stall progress, leading to costly delays.

Potential Challenges:

  • Material shortages causing work stoppages in key trades.
  • Long lead times on specialty items delaying finishes and final inspections.
  • Cost fluctuations impacting budget predictability.

KennMar Construction’s Approach:

  • Early procurement strategies to secure materials well in advance of critical project phases.
  • Prefabrication and modular solutions to reduce reliance on unpredictable supply chains.
  • Strong supplier relationships to ensure reliable delivery schedules and cost stability.

By staying ahead of supply chain risks, we keep multifamily projects moving forward without costly delays or last-minute changes.

The KennMar Advantage

Multifamily construction requires precision, coordination, and proactive problem-solving at every stage. At KennMar Construction, our expertise in construction phasing, workforce logistics, and supply chain management ensures that projects stay on schedule, on budget, and on track for successful delivery.
