Building an ADU involves navigating countless obstacles, from permits to inspections to weather. After 15 years and hundreds of projects, I’ve learned to ditch the unrealistic timelines and instead focus on steady progress.
I’ll never forget the faces of clients like Mark when their 6-week build turns into 6 months. Half-done projects wrapped in tarps, stalled by endless delays. I now know those ambitious schedules often do more harm than good.
Some contractors promise shockingly fast turnarounds. But as Sarah learned, speed claims frequently end in slow-motion disasters. Florida’s afternoon thunderstorms have a way of wrecking the best-laid plans, as many clients discover too late.
Other projects get derailed by material shortages, inspection gaps, vanished work crews and more. I’ve been through it all. Today we safeguard against every delay, from weather buffers to backup material options to coordinated contractor schedules.
There’s no room for surprises once you break ground. That’s why we’ve created comprehensive project plans accounting for every permitting, inspection and coordination milestone. We map out realistic schedules and then guide clients through construction one step at a time.
I tell everyone: ditch the false deadlines and focus on consistency. A smooth 16 weeks often beats a chaotic 6. With the right systems in place, steady progress becomes inevitable.
Our signature “Milestone Mapping” approach sets rational timeframes for each building stage. Clients get visibility into every phase, so there are no rude surprises down the line. Just realistic targets, met one-by-one until the finished ADU stands ready.
Experience has proven there are no shortcuts here in Florida. But with expert planning and coordination, a quality, on-time build is absolutely possible. We’ve refined the formula over years and hundreds of projects.
In the end, transparency trumps speed. Clients want visibility into timelines and delays, not empty promises. Our detailed schedules set honest expectations, so everyone can prepare for the road ahead.
Realistic communication, not rushed timeframes, is the key to satisfaction. With trust and transparency, the construction process becomes a journey taken one milestone at a time, at a pace that never falters.
