3 Things That Went Well

Client communication was consistent, no surprises on change orders
Framing crew finished 2 days ahead of schedule
Subcontractor coordination on drywall and paint was seamless

3 Things That Need Improvement

Electrical scope underestimated, should add 15% contingency for older homes
Paint coverage required extra coats on dark walls, not accounted for
Cabinet lead times pushed finish schedule by 1 week

Client Comments

Cara was happy with the overall result but felt the process took longer than expected. The allowance schedule helped her make decisions faster.

Trade Partner Concerns

InteriorWorx noted the existing electrical was worse than expected. Drywall sub flagged moisture in basement bathroom.
