How can the homeowner assist with construction project efficiency and cost containment?
To maximize the efficiency of the project, every decision should be finalized before construction begins. This may sound extreme though every day lost waiting on a final decision or a delivery will cost money and impact the overall scheduling of many sub-contractors. Many products from windows to faucets have extended delivery times and must be ordered weeks and sometimes months in advance. Waiting on one faucet to be delivered, impacts not only the plumber but the tile, cabinet and counter-top sub-contractors just to name a few. Cost savings are achieved when sub-contractors can complete their work in as few trips as possible.
