Step 9: Drywall, interior finishes, and the “final 20%”

The last 20% of a custom home often takes the longest because it involves many trades and detailed finish work:

• Drywall and paint

• Flooring and tile

• Cabinets and millwork

• Fixtures, hardware, lighting

• Final appliances

• Punch list and detail corrections

A strong project manager keeps this stage organized so it doesn’t feel like a never-ending trickle.
