Coordination Between the Trades

In a house build, all things must be planned out. So that there are no conflicts between the trades. Here are cases of pitfalls when people fail to coordinate - and these details must be made specific to the builders. Ie, up front for the OSE Seed Eco-Home- we say:

"Do not build like you think it should be built or like you have built before. Build it exactly as we specify. Do not make any changes whatsoever. Our design is custom, and if you don't build according to our very specific plans, significant delays and rework will have to be done. Because the error will propagate to subsequent steps, with a cascade of changes that completely throws off the schedule.

-So tell me - what will you not do?

-I will not build it like I usually do.

-And what WILL you do?

-I will follow your written instructions to the letter.
