In this episode, I’m breaking down the order of operations for a renovation—from demo day to final inspections—so you can understand exactly what to expect once construction begins. As a designer and project manager, I’ve learned (often the hard way!) how important it is to know which trades come when, how long each phase takes, and why certain steps can’t happen out of order.

You’ll learn: The full step-by-step remodel construction timeline Who comes into your home during each phase and what they’re doing Common scheduling pitfalls (and how to avoid them!)
