Understanding Your Renovation Timeline: A Professional Builder’s Guide to Project Planning

With 16 years in construction and my experience running Northside Developments, I’ve learned that successful renovations rely on careful timeline planning and management. Today, I’ll share insights about project planning based on real experiences and proven results.

Setting Realistic Expectations

Let me start with Lisa Loaring’s comprehensive renovation experience, which demonstrates our commitment to timeline management:

We also renovated the old kitchen, laundry and bathroom including taking out walls to open it all up… all the time frames we were given were met, the quality of workmanship was extremely high.”
