You don’t want a sub fulfilling the “letter” of their bid agreement, but you still have to rip out what they did and re-do it, costing demo time and cost, lost materials and the cost of repeating the work. They are intended to set expectations and avoid problems like a subcontractor building on top of something with obvious problems, e.g., someone drywalling over a wall serious out of square or plumb. Subcontractor checklist, these are designed to help avoid problems with cost over-runs and delayed schedules.Minimize the apparent changes will help you stay on schedule, but that is for yet another post… I am going to do a post on how to insert “risk” management buffers in your schedule that will help you minimize “apparent” schedule changes. All this means the best thing we can do is keep our subs informed about changing schedules. They have to give priority to GCs and repeat business, which unless we are already in the construction business we aren’t likely to be. Let’s face it we are the lowest priority for subs. This is even moreimportant for owner-builders. In addition to helping you answer questions you have, it will also help you manage a “dynamic” schedule. I wouldn’t start a build without a Gantt chart schedule, even if you have a lot of experience building. How long will your build take? Am I on schedule? How far behind schedule am I? When do I need to order materials? You get the picture. A Gantt Chart Schedule, to help you plan.I hope these resources save you time or give you a better idea of what planning an owner-builder project entails.
