Are you considering a renovation, remodeling, or construction project for your home or business? One of the most critical questions you might have is: When should I start planning? At Van Cleave Construction, Remodeling, and Design, we believe the investment of planning your project is as crucial as the execution of your project.

Scope of Work: Determining the scope of your project is the first step in the planning process. Whether it’s a small renovation or a large-scale construction project, understanding what needs to be done will help you establish a realistic timeline. This initial assessment can take time, especially if you’re unsure about the specifics of your project.
Design and Architectural Planning: Designing your project and working with architects, or our in-house designer, is a crucial aspect of the planning phase. This stage involves conceptualizing ideas, creating detailed drawings, and finalizing plans that align with your vision and budget. Allowing sufficient time for design development ensures that every aspect of your project is carefully considered before construction begins.
Material Selection and Procurement: Selecting materials for your project can significantly impact the timeline. Some materials may need to be custom ordered or have longer lead times, which could delay the start of construction if not planned for in advance. By starting the planning process early, you’ll have ample time to research options, receive samples, and make informed decisions about the materials needed for your project.
Trade Partner Availability: Some projects require help from our trusted trade partners. Scheduling trade partners requires coordination and flexibility. They may have busy schedules, especially during peak seasons. By reaching out to us early, we can secure a spot on their calendar and ensure that your project will be completed within your desired timeframe.
Unforeseen Delays: Despite careful planning, unexpected delays can still occur during the construction process. Inclement weather, supply chain disruptions, or unforeseen site conditions may impact the timeline of your project. Starting the planning process early provides a buffer to accommodate any unforeseen delays without compromising the quality or progress of your project.
