Why self-performing changes a commercial schedule
On a tenant improvement, the client is usually paying rent on a space they cannot occupy. Every week of schedule has a number attached to it, and that number is often larger than the margin on the trade causing the delay.
The usual bottleneck on a buildout is the gap between the rough trades. Electrical finishes, then there is a wait for the mechanical contractor, then a wait for inspection, then a wait for the drywall crew who took another job in between.
We hold the electrical, plumbing and HVAC licenses ourselves, so those gaps are ours to close. Resequencing after an inspection or a landlord change is an internal decision made the same day, not a round of calls to three separate companies.
