Decisions, decisions, decisions......

Your extension or renovation project is underway but there will still be decisions to be made. Unless you have planned and decided every single detail you will be asked by your builder to make decisions as the construction moves ahead. Make these decisions promptly, the same day would be best.

How quickly you make these decisions is more important then you may realise. These may seem small to you but taking too long to decide on the type of taps you would like in your en-suite or where you would like the plug sockets could cause large delays. Some decisions will then involve a lead time from order or may delay the plasterer and then decorator which can all add to the time on site for your builder and therefor labour costs for yourself. 

This is also the case if you change your mind once the building has started. Deciding you don't want the wall there you want it here may seem like a small and easy change but this could soon disrupt the works schedule considerably in terms of cost and time. 

Ensure you only get the builders in once you have decided as many things as possible, consider the things that could go wrong and try to plan to prevent them. Prevention is cheaper then the cure in construction.
