Schedule and handoffs guides

You need a repair plan before deciding who pays. Record the symptom, send the qualified trade to investigate, and review the cause against the written terms.

You need to hand over a usable house and its records. Coordinate approvals, remaining work, owner documents, and warranty contacts as separate closeout tasks.

You need a firm answer before tomorrow’s crew travels. Confirm the people, work area, materials, approvals, and start conditions with the responsible trade lead.

You need to release the interior crews. Treat dry-in as a checked weather-protection milestone, then confirm inspections and material conditions separately.

You need to protect the next trades from a premature start. Identify the failed requirement, assign the correction, and release dependent work after approval.

You need the concrete, waterproofing, drainage, and backfill crews to agree on what is ready. Record each scope and its evidence before the buried work disappears.

Use the build phases to map dependencies, then confirm each trade's release conditions. A house schedule includes repeat visits, inspections, and overlapping work.

You need the builder to understand what your bid buys. State inclusions and exclusions as specific tasks, then identify who covers each remaining interface.

You need each unfinished item assigned and verified. Use a punch list to record the correction, responsible trade, due date, and acceptance result.

Rough-in places building systems before finishes conceal them. Define each trade's package, coordinate shared spaces, and confirm required approvals before the next release.

You need the next crew to receive work it can use. Name who checks the interface, record open conditions, and release the next activity explicitly.

You need comparable bids for the same work. Issue one scope and document set, then resolve materials, interfaces, exclusions, and return visits before award.
