A schedule is more than start and finish dates. Decisions, deliveries, drying and checks determine when the next stage can begin.
Decide this before construction
Choose the current layout first, then assess targeted preparation for later. Record which provisions are installed now and how they remain identifiable and accessible.
Identify dependencies
A kitchen needs reliable dimensions before final measuring. Paint needs a suitable substrate. Make these relationships visible before booking isolated delivery dates.
What the drawing needs to explain
Draw two uses within the same floor plan. Mark walls, doors and connections that stay unchanged and identify the alteration actually needed later.
Compare the complete intervention
Separate necessary work, useful preparation and optional additions. Compare later adaptation costs with the additional investment now, including effects on existing finishes.
Questions for your own property
- Which delivery drives the sequence?
- Which choices remain open?
- When is hidden work checked?
