Project Planning
An exterior project with a good outcome is the result of a good starting plan. Exterior projects usually require the interaction of several contractors to reach a successful conclusion. Landscape contractors may need to get heavy equipment in before the walkways are poured and the brick mason may need to bring in the brick before the electrician buries his electrical conduit, and the landscape contractor doesn't want to dig up the electrician's conduit. It can all be an intricate dance, and what happens a lot of the time is that one contractor will cover up another, causing delays or change orders. A good plan will give you an opportunity to work out the logistics before any construction begins, and lets contractors better plan their schedules.
