- Design development, approvals, procurement, site conditions, and the amount of structural work all affect timing.
- Projects with detailed finishes or phased occupancy usually need more coordination than cosmetic refreshes.
- A realistic schedule is better than an optimistic one because it protects both quality and expectations.
