Order Materials Early

Cabinets, windows, and specialty tile can take 6-8 weeks to arrive. Order during demo so they arrive for rough-in completion.

Buffer for Inspections

Municipal inspections can add 3-5 business days per check. Schedule them the day work completes, not after.

Lock Your Scope

Every scope change after demo adds an average of 2 weeks. Get decisions finalized before the first hammer swings.

Overlap When Possible

Electrical and plumbing rough-in can run simultaneously. Stacking trades shaves 1-2 weeks on mid-range+ projects.
