You can use this printable flow chart for your building needs. It shows several important issues, including the building process, building sequence and order of inspections. There are 3 routes that can be taken and if you choose to be the "builder" (or not to be). Either way, you can see what would be involved in the whole process. "Initial Organization" and "Ongoing Organization" are probably the most important issues that should be carried out. There is a lot of work in preplanning, pricing, and booking of these contractors before the job starts, that will make the job run smoothly and without delays.
