Great project management depends on efficient scheduling – both in terms of how the builder schedules staff, subcontractors and resources, and in terms of sequencing the different parts of the project. That schedule should also be clearly communicated to you. Many builders use a task-based approach using start and end dates to manage not only your project but also the projects that are scheduled before and after yours. If you have a copy of the schedule, it’s easier to know what you’re entitled to expect and anticipate when decisions will need to be made.
