reading my own post it sounds defensive. Lol. That's not how I intended it. I was truly just curious.
we schedule the subs at the beginning of the project, and then we give them the real date about two weeks out. Lol. What we do give them a lot of advance notice. I guess I can see where giving the clientthe schedule would be a good thing.
I wouldn't though, at least the way we do things. It would be a nightmare every time those dates were wrong 3 months down the road. Every builder knows some things are going to fall behind and others are going to make up for that, a common homeowner is not going to. I wouldn't have as big an issue giving a construction schedule to an owner's rep , someone who knew what they were doing for a commercial project. Usually an owner's rep is an ex contractor or a current contractor. They will understand what the losing ground and making up ground is all about.
