Thinking of Moving a Light or Making a Change During Construction?

We totally understand — it’s common to have second thoughts as a space starts to come together. Maybe a light fixture doesn’t feel quite right, or you want to move a switch. But what many homeowners don’t realize is:

⚠️ Even simple changes can lead to unexpected costs and delays.

Here’s why:

Hidden ripple effects — A 20-minute task for our team might require re-routing wires, cutting open finished walls, or calling back other trades (like plumbing or drywall).
Scheduling bottlenecks — Once trades like plumbing or HVAC have finished and moved to other job sites, they may not be able to return for weeks.
Rework isn’t just labor — Materials, disposal, travel time, and coordination between teams all add up.
Project delays — A last-minute change can stall everything if one trade has to wait on another, which can snowball into a 3–6 week delay.

We’re not saying “don’t make changes” — just be aware:

All changes must go through a written change order.
Changes are billed at a premium rate due to disruption, rescheduling, and rework.
Changes can affect the final completion date — sometimes significantly.

How to Avoid This:

Be thorough in the planning stage — we’re here to help you think through placements and possibilities.
Finalize decisions before rough-in.
Understand that once construction starts, every change is costly — not just in dollars, but in time.

Planning ahead saves money, avoids frustration, and helps us deliver your project on time and on budget.
