Step 7: Approvals and planning (build schedule buffer)
Every city and lot is different. Some projects are straightforward; others involve layered review. The best approach is to plan early and build schedule buffer for:
- design and engineering (if needed)
- plan check / review cycles
- permit issuance and inspections
A design-build team can reduce surprises by coordinating design decisions with feasibility and documentation from the start.
