What was at stake
Large crew, high coordination load, schedule pressure, and the need for defensible production, manpower, and equipment records — not “best guess” diaries.
Results that hold up under scrutiny
Field Muster rests on decades of PACE production control and field leadership — with documentation strong enough to win third-party review.

A $14 million union installation in Atlantic City under Tishman Construction — completed on time and under budget, with documentation that recovered real dollars at closeout.
What documentation proved
Production records, manpower dispatch logs, and equipment cost tracking supported a claim for lost time, acceleration, and overtime. Tishman awarded $180,000 dollar-for-dollar based on accuracy and completeness of the records.
“The claim was supported entirely by David’s documentation — production records, manpower dispatch logs, and equipment cost tracking. Tishman reviewed the documentation and awarded $180,000, dollar-for-dollar, based on the accuracy and completeness of the records David maintained.”
A day in the life
The timed command day is on Product
Fourteen superintendent tasks, stopwatch-timed at 00:10:15 on Field Muster — including Watch clips for the first four — now sit with the capabilities they use.
Letters on file
From a billion-dollar operator and $30 million self-performing shops
Excerpts from three testimonial letters from a billion-dollar site-development company, a $30 million landscape company, and a $30 million concrete contractor. Full letters and identity on file; additional detail on request.
Billion-dollar company · Senior VP
“From my direct experience, PACE delivered a minimum 10–15% improvement in production performance, driven by clearer recovery-rate tracking, stronger daily accountability, and more consistent labor planning. After Valley Crest became part of BrightView, the core recovery-rate principles introduced through PACE continued to be part of our operational discipline. Many of those concepts remain in use today, decades later.”
~$30 million self-performing · Vice President
“We implemented Field Muster across five of our self-performing crews, and the operational impact was immediate. The combination of the PACE methodology and the Hit List weekly production agenda created a level of discipline, clarity, and predictability we had never achieved with our previous systems. The Hit List became such a valuable part of our weekly production meetings that we installed a large screen TV in our conference room just to display it. Instead of rehashing problems, we were planning solutions and staying ahead of the work.”
~$30 million self-performing · Owner
“The PACE cycle gave our foremen a dependable framework for planning and adjusting their work and methods, and the crews responded well to having a more organized routine. The Hit List was one of the most valuable parts of the pilot. It didn’t just show where production was slipping — it helped us understand why. We were able to identify the root causes of our deficiencies, whether they were tied to materials, equipment, GC site management, sequence, or other job-site interferences.”

Operator voices
Discipline that travels with leaders
The PACE methodology — the operational core that evolved into Field Muster — has been carried across companies, countries, and market segments for decades.
“I first worked with David during the Six Flags project… PACE was still being executed on a 36-column spreadsheet, and I saw immediately how disciplined production tracking, manpower control, and recovery planning could transform field operations. I adopted the system during that project and have carried its principles with me throughout my entire career.”
“From 1988 to today, the PACE system has been a direct contributing factor to my professional success. It has shaped the way I plan, lead, and execute work across industries, countries, and operational environments… I look forward to assessing Field Muster as a modern extension of the principles I have used throughout my career.”
You need Field Muster
Field Muster is more at home in a toolbox than on an administrator’s desk.

Scenes of the working trades that Field Muster was designed for: to facilitate production, manage risk and minimize stress…where you win or lose…in the field. This is where your company really is — not at the mailing address of your office.
Beyond one project
Consistent outcomes across environments
- Golf and resort construction programs
- International work in Mexico and Bolivia
- Sports-field complexes (e.g. Vicksburg 10-field facility delivered to opening date)
- Branch and regional operations leadership using the same recovery language
What buyers and customers should take away
Field Muster is not vaporware or a deck. The operating doctrine has been proven in the field; the software productizes that doctrine into dispatch, production intelligence, and closed-loop recovery leadership can run daily.
