I'm not sure why they have such a long time frame for the whole turn around time but that just might be because they may not have the manpower to handle shorter turn over rushes.  

Weekly report on paper with two week look-ahead on material and manpower resources, special attention request report on long lead time materials on any material more than 2 week lead.

Both pros and consPROCESS MANAGEMENTHave punctuated check-ins to prevent expensive reversals of major work (closed walls, etc)Some incorporate 12–13 check points for renos (dry wall, plumbing, inspection, etc)Include others on team as needed like architect, structural engineer, designer = creates system of checks & balancesGCs may oppose very specific timelines since much uncertainty with availability of sub-vendorsManage timeline of how long different team members stay on, e.g. architect may only stay on through primary buildIf GC is already working nearby on another property, reno can move faster by limiting GC travel time from other jobs, etcContractors not always great project mgrs — CDP reviewed manpower & timeline plan with GC, and gave input that took multiple wks off project timelineBe particularly present around property for finishings, and KNOW your preferences (outlet placement, etc)A good GC is very adept at managing inspections — knows what inspector is looking for, avoids common pitfallsKnow your “snowball” problems (e.g. one bad decision upfront impacts MUCH future work)MISCELLANEOUSFor foundation, can have slab vs stilts / raised — slab tougher for work like plumbing since limited accessWhat permits / processes can you look up and manage in advance / get started early on?

More control of my assets and my manpower.
