This home had a HUGE delay that cost us thousands of dollars.The group that put in the underground plumbing dug the plumbing too low, and by the time we caught the mistake, the slab had already been poured and the septic tanks installed.We had to dig up the septic tanks, install a lift station, and reinstall the septic tanks.This all happened during 2 hurricanes, which caused even more delays.Time kills deals.This is why you need to 1) be conservative with your timelines and costs, 2) add contingencies to your budgets, and 3) have a healthy profit margin.

Plus, replacement parts are easy to source if needed.CB2/West Elm (Sales Section): Higher-end, but you can score deals on durable, modern furniture during sales.Local Furniture Stores or Liquidators: Sometimes you can find high-quality, durable items at reduced prices, especially in stores that cater to hotels or corporate rentals.Second-Hand/Consignment Stores: Gently used pieces, particularly mid-century modern, can be very durable and unique.I do NOT recommend Wayfair as I ordered from them and the furniture came back damaged and low quality.
