the road trying to figure everything out, and they pass the savings on to us. When you add up all of the trades in- volved, that can be a substantial savings. It also prevents things like wrong paint colors, floor coverings, design elements and anything else that could be left open to interpretation. If any questions pop up, they have a job board up in the house that has the entire “scope” on it for refer-
ence. There will always be changes made, but Corinne and her contractors always refer back to the original specifications and go from there. Any additions are followed up with a change order signed by us and the contractor. It’s seems like a lot of up- front work, but in the end, the time, money and frustration saved makes it all worthwhile. •
