The second tip is to make sure that you schedule your sub-contractors far enough in advance that you get on their schedules so that you are not scrambling at the last minute to try to find some one to do something and end up paying way more then needed just to get the job done. You will also want to make sure that when it is getting closer to when you will need them to come in that you call and up date them on the progress of your home and hat stage you are at so that they know whether or not you are still on schedule or if you need to extend them out a little bit further.

The third tip is to make sure that when you are scheduling that you take into consideration that you might be able to schedule more than one sub-contractor at a time. For example you can schedule your sheet rockers to be working inside while you have your exterior guys working on the outside. You will want to also check with your exterior guys if you are doing more then one exterior. For example if you are doing rock and stucco or brick and stucco you will want to make sure to check and see which sub-contractor likes to go first. You might have both exterior guys wanting to go first but it might be better to have your rock or bricker to go first so that the stucco guy can fill in any low spots where the brick or rock might not be exactly straight.

The fourth tip is to make sure that if you are doing some of the work yourself that you keep to your own schedule. It might be hard to keep to your schedule but you need to try to keep to it as much as possible. A lot of people try to do a lot of things themselves when they are building their house and it ends up taking them a lot longer then they first anticipated. This is why it is better to give yourself more time rather then not enough and so that you are not stressing out trying to get things done. Just doing little things will help the most to keep your home on schedule.
