Even the best laid plans can hit bumps in the road. So, make sure you have plans in place for the unexpected, such as timescales shifting, disputes, cash flow issues or the possibility of bad weather. You should also think carefully about where you plan to live during the build, and what you will do if your project takes longer to complete than expected.
