How does S+B James manage schedules and long-lead materials?

Schedule planning begins during preconstruction. We identify permitting, procurement, owner decisions, site constraints, long-lead items, phasing requirements, and shutdowns early. Our teams routinely develop creative strategies including advance purchases, early bid packages, phased releases, resequencing, summer or shutdown work, and starting portions of construction while design continues. When schedule challenges arise, we develop options and clearly communicate the impacts so the owner can make informed decisions.
