The Build Begins

Having access to the builders schedule so you know whats coming and can make informed decisions because remember once the tradesmen are onsite they are ready to go and if you have not set out your requirements clearly the builder will default to what they know best. Be there before hand know what your options are, do you research and lean on your builder.

Because the builder isn't going to call on the team to come back after they have completed, this would cost them a lot of money to have them back on site, so be sure to know a head of time what your requirements are, options available, discuss it through with your builder and then make sure everyone is on the same page don't assume. You need to be reviewing materials, dimensions or options before decisions are made because its too late or too costly once trades are onsite and orders placed by the builder. 

Always remember time is money for tradies as soon as they can they'll be off-site onto the next job.

Be onsite daily chat and ask questions. I loss count of the amount of times a tradesmen would start bringing up a whole host of questions after prefacing the conversation with "we are all good mate nothing to chat about here".
