π¨ The Construction Phase: What to Expect (and What Can Go Wrong)
Construction can be the most intimidating part of a high ceiling conversion, but it doesnβt have to be. In this episode, we take you behind the scenes of both the pre-construction and active build phases, covering what really happens once the planning is done.
Weβll talk about:
- Our typical construction turnaround time
- How hidden conditions can impact the schedule
- What we do to keep our clients happy (and stress levels low)
- Real-life stories β including the time the roof budged when pushing the wall π±
Our goal? To demystify this part of the process and help you feel confident moving forward, even when things get dusty.
