When does the schedule get locked?

After the scope is defined and before work starts. You should know the sequence and the drivers — permits, long-lead items, and trade order — while you can still adjust the plan. Dates move if the scope moves. The footnoted 21–30 day range applies to typical $50,000–$100,000 renovations and is not a promise for every property.

How are change orders handled?

In writing. When a wall, system, or selection differs from the agreed scope, GRG documents the change, the cost effect, and the schedule effect before the extra work becomes the plan. Verbal side agreements are how investor rehabs lose their underwriting.

When the scope requires them. Georgia counties and cities do not share one counter, one timeline, or one interpretation, and Alabama and Florida are different states entirely. The authority having jurisdiction is confirmed for the property. Permit time sits inside the schedule; it is not a surprise added after demo day.

Process

From walkthrough to final punch list.

One documented path, so you can underwrite the renovation before you close and recognize the job after you do.

Step 01
Evaluate
Walk the property, or label a desktop pass honestly if you have not been there. Flag visible cost drivers and what a specialist still needs to see. The deliverable is walkthrough notes the investor can use while the decision is open.
Step 02
Price
A rough budget supports the buying decision and names its uncertainty. A defined, line-item scope with allowances and exclusions is what a job is built from. Neither document is a rate card, and the rough budget is not a bid.
Step 03
Design
Finish direction and material selections follow the exit — rental-ready or resale — and the budget already discussed. The investor approves the finish plan before materials are ordered.
Step 04
Execute
Trades, schedule, and coordination run against the agreed scope. Progress photos, milestones, and written change orders are the reporting baseline. The footnoted 21–30 day range applies only to typical $50,000–$100,000 renovations and is not a promise.
Step 05
Deliver
Finish work is checked against the scope, the punch list is closed, and the property is ready for the next step in the exit: list, rent, or refinance preparation. Mostly done is not delivered.

What you can do with the path

Use evaluate and price while a contingency is still alive. Use design to stop a finish from outrunning the basis. Use execute and deliver to judge the partner on reporting and closeout, not on how warm the first call felt. The reno calculator and the scope estimator are for the screen. They are not steps four and five.

Questions on this page

Our typical $50,000–$100,000 renovations take 21–30 days. Each project gets a schedule based on its scope, property condition, permit needs and material availability; the typical range is not a promise for every property.
