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.
