Review Existing Conditions
Document the current layout, building systems, moisture or structural concerns, site access, and any known previous alterations before finalizing the scope.
Confirm Approvals and Lead Times
Account for permit reviews, drawings, product selections, and long-lead materials before setting the proposed construction start date.
Protect the Budget
Use clear allowances and maintain a contingency for concealed conditions, owner-requested changes, and code upgrades discovered during construction.
