park, unload and store materials, etc.? After the initial start, we are typically fine with the client going about their daily routine of work, school, etc. We typically work from 8am-5pm, Monday to Friday to allow the client to continue living in their home while we renovate, if possible and if they choose. If they choose to relocate during the renovation, then regular site meetings and emergency contact numbers should be planned to ensure the client is aware of the progress and any changes from beginning to end.
Until next time, keep your tools ready and your focus on the project!
