Building 101

Many things go into the building of a project - foundation, plumbing, electrical, cladding, earthwork, and many more.  While it is obvious that you can't pour the foundation until you complete the earthwork, many other elements may not be so obvious.  Understanding the parts is important, but knowing the order they must be performed or completed is essential.  This is certainly an area where experience and planning can save time and money.  In addition to the actual work or installation, it is important to also include a timeline for the procurement of materials and equipment.  Some equipment may cost thousands of dollars a day to have on site, so careful scheduling can greatly reduce costs.

Whether building a home or a skyscraper, it is basic building 101 to think through the steps and elements of the project and create a progressive timeline to be sure they are done in timely and effective sequence.
