7.5) The selection schedule: what you must decide (and when)
Selection delays are one of the biggest reasons whole-home remodels run long. The fix is a selection schedule that aligns decisions with the build sequence.
Common selections that should be decided early
- Flooring and transitions
- Kitchen layout, cabinetry, and appliance specs
- Countertops and backsplash direction
- Bathroom tile and waterproofing details
- Lighting plan and fixture locations
- Plumbing fixtures (so rough-in locations are correct)
- Door style, trim profile, and hardware finish
When selections are decided early, your contractor can order materials proactively and schedule trades efficiently.
