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
Link each order date to the phase needing the component. Before a disruptive transition, check that materials, decisions and temporary facilities are actually available.
Identify dependencies
A kitchen needs reliable dimensions before final measuring. Paint needs a suitable substrate. Make these relationships visible before booking isolated delivery dates.
Set decision dates
Undecided products and details can delay work. Agree when fittings, tiles and lighting need to be final, and keep later changes identifiable.
What the drawing needs to explain
Create a phase plan showing work zones, usable rooms and bathroom access. Identify temporarily unavailable facilities and their replacements.
Compare the complete intervention
Include temporary kitchen facilities, protection and any extra moves. A programme with more phases may require more setup and clearing work than continuous construction.
A situation to test your plan against
A larger home offers little help if every daily function stops during renovation. Begin with a weekly overview of cooking, washing, working and sleeping. Use it to discuss construction phases.
Questions for your own property
- Which delivery drives the sequence?
- Which choices remain open?
- When is hidden work checked?
