Scope and Schedule
Ask what is included, what is not and how the work is sequenced. Ask when decisions are needed and which items have long lead times.
A written scope avoids misunderstandings.
People and Process
Ask who will be on site, who manages the project and how you will be updated. Ask how permits and inspections are handled.
Knowing who to call makes the project easier.
The Job Site
Ask about site cleanliness, safety, working hours and how your home will be protected.
These details shape how the months of construction feel.
