Truss delivery slid 48 hours, which pushes pre-rig to Wednesday 07:00 and compresses downstream tasks; how are you adjusting buffers without triggering overtime? I’m considering moving motor inspections to Tuesday with a small crew and holding CAD to EOD, but that shrinks the lighting handoff from 10 hours to 4 ahead of the Jan 15 client walk. If you’ve run this play, what kept the team synchronized and the hours in check?
Don’t accept lighting dropping to “4 hours” — lock a Tuesday noon change-freeze, pre-build looms and pre-address on dollies, and chalk the Wednesday 07:00 picks so it’s lift–pin–power while a 3-person crew clears motor inspections. That’s bought us 3–4 hours without OT and kept a Jan 15 walk intact; can you hand off FOH first and push floor/backline zones later?
, been there — when pre-rig slides to Wednesday 07:00 I book a Tuesday 19:00–22:00 previz using the EOD “hold CAD to EOD” so the LD locks patch/palettes before metal’s in the air. Keep motor inspections Tuesday but make them visual/limits-only and push load-cell calibration to first lift; that frees you to run power/data home runs on the deck without creeping into OT. @chase_lee_21 have you had any gotchas trusting a previz’d patch when the truss lands late?
I’d steal buffer by front‑loading power and network: use Tuesday to bring up the MA/sACN backbone, RDM‑address and update fixtures, and do a quick dimmer burn‑in so when steel lands it’s mostly land‑plug‑validate without triggering OT. Building on @lauragreen32, could you run “split shifts 6+6 with a 1‑hour overlap” to stay under thresholds ahead of the Jan 15 client walk?
