What's That Hanging in the Window?

It's the schedule. Before we even put a shovel in the dirt we've laid out the schedule. It's a day-by-day display of exactly what's going to happen and when. We hang one on each job site to be visible to our crew, subcontractors, inspectors, visitors, real estate agents, and anyone else who visits.

In previous posts we've talked about how important scheduling is. By keeping a tight leash on the schedule we ensure:

• All of the supplies are at the job site when they are needed; but not until they're needed which makes a less cluttered work area.


• Inspections can be scheduled with plenty of lead time.


• Subcontractors can be scheduled with plenty of lead time.


• New home owners know what to expect for closing and move-in.


• Provide consistent work for the crew.


• Complete a home in 45 days.

It seems simple but, as you can see, keeping the schedule is one of the most important things we do. Next time you visit one of our homes in process you'll see one.
