Step 7: Pre‑Construction = Procurement + Scheduling (The Phase That Protects the Timeline)

On premium projects, the schedule is often won or lost before demo.

Pre‑construction planning includes:

• Finalizing the finish schedule (cabinetry, stone, tile, plumbing, lighting)

• Ordering long‑lead materials early

• Confirming lead times with suppliers and fabricators

• Mapping construction sequencing so trades aren’t stacked inefficiently

• Planning for access, staging, and home protection (driveways, landscaping, dust control)

This is how you avoid the classic luxury remodel problem: “We’re ready for counters, but the slab isn’t here yet.”
