If Your Project Schedule Feels Constantly at Risk… You’re Not Alone
On paper, your schedule looks tight but doable.
Then reality hits: the electricians are behind schedule. The window crew hasn’t finished their section. Your façade installers show up… and can’t do a thing. They’re stuck waiting because panel A has to be installed before panel B.
This isn’t a personnel problem. It’s not a planning problem.
It’s a sequential installation problem.
What Are Sequential Façade Systems and Why Are They Failing You?
Sequential systems require panels to be installed in a strict order. You can’t jump ahead. You can’t skip around. You have to follow the sequence: top-to-bottom, left-to-right, row-by-row.
But construction sites aren’t clean flowcharts. They’re chaotic, multi-trade warzones with overlapping timelines, unpredictable delays, and constantly shifting priorities.
So what happens when a critical zone gets blocked?
Your crew waits. Your timeline slides. Your General Contractor starts breathing down your neck.
How Sequential Systems Destroy Construction Schedules
Let’s break it down:
- One blocked zone means 1–2 days of idle time
- One idle crew of 5 costs ~$3,000–$6,000 in wasted labor
- That lost time pushes back inspections, interior finishes, and client handover
- Those delays open you up to change orders, subcontractor conflicts, and even liquidated damages
And it all stems from one fundamental flaw: you can’t work around the problem
The Hidden Bottleneck No One’s Talking About
Sequential systems don’t just slow you down. They trap your crews.
You might have 80% of the building ready for panels, but your team is stuck in the 20% they’re “supposed” to finish first.
Meanwhile, the clock ticks, costs rise, and your project margin disappears.
There’s a Better Way: Non-Sequential Installation
Arrowhead’s patented façade system solves the scheduling problem at its root.
Here’s how:
- Any Panel, Any Time – Install panels in any order across the façade
- Work Around Other Trades – No more waiting for electricians, HVAC, or glaziers to finish their zone
- Recover Lost Time Instantly – Skip blocked areas and keep your crew productive
- Stay Ahead of Schedule – Deliver early instead of chasing extensions
In the real world, flexibility is the only path to predictability.
You Could Be Our Next Success Story: What If…
- Your next critical project finished 18 working days ahead of schedule? Imagine the relief a Project Manager on a hospital build would feel when they saved that much time by eliminating the sequencing constraint. Could your next major project benefit from that same speed?
- Your team could redeploy instantly when a job site obstacle occurs, instead of waiting for days. Consider an installation team that could avoid $80,000 in damages and lost time by smoothly redirecting their crew the moment a five-day stairwell blockage occurred.
These are real scheduling wins made possible by breaking the sequencing constraint.
You don’t have to imagine it. You can build it.
You could be our next success story.
Ask Yourself:
- How much are delays costing you per week?
- How often is your façade team waiting on another trade?
- What would finishing ahead of schedule do for your bottom line or your reputation?
Now imagine a system that lets you install what’s ready, when it’s ready, no excuses.
Conclusion: Stop Letting Sequencing Hold You Hostage
The project schedule is your lifeline, and sequential systems are slowly cutting it off.
The industry is moving forward with non-sequential systems that let you adapt, pivot, and stay in control.
If your team is still installing panels in a fixed sequence, you’re not just working harder, you’re working slower.
