• Contractor timelines → why real projects require weeks of prep before a fast on-site build
• Red flag: “I can start Monday” → likely delays due to missing materials and poor planning
• Custom elements → cabinets, finishes, and especially glass shower doors drive timelines
• Shower glass reality → measured after install, built to exact specs, adds ~1–2 week delay
• Setting expectations → clear communication upfront prevents frustration mid-project
• In-house vs suppliers → most work controlled internally, with select material partners (like glass)
• Listener Q: “weep holes” in showers → myth vs reality, proper drainage happens at the drain system, not through wall openings
• Listener Q: flooring choices → laminate vs luxury vinyl plank, durability, waterproofing, and sound considerations in multi-unit homes
