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
Coordinate the visible detail before producing structural elements. Plan services and finishes early so unwanted boxing does not later surround a deliberately exposed connection.
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
Detail one connection with structural dimensions, visible finishes and adjoining materials. Have required protection measures and service space explicitly assessed.
Compare the complete intervention
Separate structural function and visible finish quality in the budget. Ask which preparation, protection and finishing are included when an element remains exposed.
Questions for your own property
- Which delivery drives the sequence?
- Which choices remain open?
- When is hidden work checked?
