Why is Remodel Job Sequence Important?   

When you do a remodel or addition project on your house, it is important to figure out the whole thing before you start. There are certain steps to doing a project.

1. You first need a Design which my include samples, drawings and pictures.

2. Then you need Plans: “Blueprints”.

3. At that point you can get an accurate estimate as to what the project will cost from a builder.

4. At this point the sequence can be worked out, and this is a necessary step before starting the project.

I ran into what would be a good example of why you need to set up the sequence or “critical path” before you start the project.

The customer had some drawings that showed adding a back patio cover to their house.

In order to build the cover, a wall had to first be built.

In order to add the cover the electrical had to be moved.

An addition had to be built since the electric supply had to be attached to the back of the addition that was not yet built.

The customer wanted to later close off some door openings and remodel the bathroom.

It may have been necessary to add more electrical in order to do all of the above.

However, the whole project was not designed, planned and laid out in a sequence and no one had looked at how each step of the project would impact other steps of the project.

The sequence must be worked out as soon as the whole project is defined.
