Be exacting on durability and safety (drainage, base prep, electrical, irrigation coverage). Be practical on minor cosmetic choices that don’t affect longevity. Use a preconstruction meeting to lock decisions, then a weekly written update to track progress. If workmanship deviates from the plan or specs, speak up immediately—fixes are cheaper mid-build than after.
