Industry Tip Post
One thing I tell every client before we start a commercial buildout:
Get your permits squared away EARLY.
Too many projects get delayed 4-6 weeks because permitting was an afterthought. At CapCon, we start the permitting process on day one while we're finalizing designs.
That's how you stay on schedule.
What's the biggest scheduling lesson you've learned on a construction project?
