What To Do
- Before committing a start date, confirm the sub, material readiness, inspection dependency, customer decision status, and schedule buffer.
- Capture the condition, price the extra work, and get approval before the crew treats it as included scope.
- before the week gets busy, review old bid dates, supplier pricing, permit/inspection dependencies, weather notes, and any extra work that has not been written up.
