Set up a temporary kitchen
A microwave, a coffee maker, a small fridge and a washable tub for dishes can serve in another room. Plan simple meals for the weeks without a kitchen.
Control dust and protect floors
Plastic barriers, floor protection and daily cleanup keep dust from spreading. Ask about air filtration for dusty phases.
Plan for noise, pets and kids
Know which days are loudest, keep pets and children away from the work area and keep paths clear and safe.
Stay in touch with your team
A daily check-in and a weekly look-ahead help you plan around deliveries and noisy work.
