The schedule
Takeoff and bid, before any wire goes in
Send the plan set and your electrical selections. We count every box, fixture and circuit and send a written bid with the allowances marked.
The six phases below run from that bid to the punch list. The dates come from your superintendent's calendar, not ours.

What moves a date
The holds we plan around
Framing runs late
We move the crew and tell your superintendent the same day.
Inspection comes back with a fix list
The list goes in writing to your superintendent before insulation, and we book the re-inspection.
Paint isn't finished
Trim waits until the painter is out of the rooms, so plates and fixtures go up once.
Questions about the schedule
What do you need to write a bid?
The plan set with the electrical sheet, your fixture and appliance selections, the house address and the month you expect framing to finish. If the selections aren't final, we bid with allowances and mark them.
Who pulls the permit and books the inspections?
The bid says who holds the permit. Either way we book the rough-in and final inspections with the local codes office, and the crew lead is on site for both.
What if framing isn't finished when your crew is scheduled?
Sabiha moves us and tells your superintendent the same day. The schedule shows the hold, so nobody finds out from an empty house.
Do you trim houses you didn't rough in?
Sometimes. We walk the house first and list in writing anything we'd need corrected before trim. Then we set a trim date.

We will send back a schedule with the six phases and who is on site for each.
