Timeline Risks to Avoid in Custom Builds

Schedules can fall behind when decisions or permits are delayed. Proactive coordination and communication keep timelines intact.

  • Incomplete drawings – Finalize all structural and design details before bidding to prevent costly revisions later.

  • Late selections – Choose materials, appliances, and finishes on time to keep procurement aligned with the schedule.

  • Underestimating permitting – Confirm local approval timelines and HOA requirements to avoid early delays.

  • Long-lead materials – Order custom products in advance and track shipping dates closely.

  • Trade stacking – Avoid overcrowding the jobsite by sequencing trades logically to preserve craftsmanship.

  • Weather planning – Build in extra time during South Florida’s rainy season to handle possible interruptions.

  • Weak site logistics – Organize access points, storage, and waste management to keep crews efficient and safe.

Consistent oversight and schedule reviews help maintain steady progress from foundation to finish.
