The whole home building team, including the homeowner Brad Watts, assembled for refreshments and an update to the schedule on Friday, September 30th, as we moved into the highly detailed interior finishes phase. Having everyone present, from the cabinetry guys to the landscape team (20 companies represented), enables us to have the various firms that will be working side by side during this busy finishing push review the schedule, and to talk to each other about scope overlaps and timing. They can also communicate with the entire Phoenix management team about any concerns they have; product arrival and storage, tool security, schedule issues and subcontractor billing. Tami from Icon was also available for any questions relating to design and product issues, and to schedule work reviews with those that required them. From the General Contractor perspective it gives Phoenix another chance to make sure that all products and materials that are being procured by the subcontractors and vendors are either already on-island or due to arrive in the coming weeks. Keeping the schedule tight and all the participants happy is all about open lines of communication, respect and, where required, flexibility. We may be twenty companies, but at the end of the day we are simply the Client’s Team – and we intend to have the best roster, the best coaching and the best results.
