Project Timeline

We supply all of our clients with a project timeline, so they can familiarize themselves with the process of how their home will be built.  This helps alleviate any potential surprises and keeps them on track with the day to day tasks & operations, as well as alerting them to time sensitive items they need to address, so everyone can work together to keep the project on schedule & within budget.
