Scheduling:
Because Ar. Nilesh handles most aspects of all projects himself and personally overseas the work of any consultants who may be involved, it is especially important that project scheduling be worked out in advance and that every effort be made to maintain the schedule once established. Several projects in various stages of completion will typically be active in the office at all times, such that unexpected delays in the progress of any one will likely disrupt all the others.
Experience in recent years indicates that from the time a client makes an initial inquiry until the beginning of construction on a typically full services project, as much as six or eight months (or more) may be required, so it is best to plan accordingly and begin the process early.
