Renovating a home often involves more than just one trade. Carpenters, electricians, plumbers, painters — they all play a role at different stages of the job. But without proper coordination, things can get messy, and that’s when delays and rework start to creep in.
At PBS Carpentry & Maintenance, we’ve worked on enough renovations to know that timing matters. If framing is done before plumbing adjustments are finalised, for instance, you may find yourself pulling things apart just to make space for pipework. Likewise, finishing work like door installation or skirting should only be done once services are in and walls are sealed.
That’s why we always encourage clients to map out the project stages before starting. Knowing when each trade needs access to the site — and in what order — makes everything run smoother. Let’s say you’ve got bathroom carpentry work underway and plumbing changes to complete. It’s common for clients to bring in their own service providers, such as a plumber Adelaide based company like Precise Services, to handle the rough-ins and fit-off. While we don’t coordinate with these teams directly, we always work around scheduled trades to keep progress moving.
The key is communication and a clear project plan. That way, each trade can get in, do their job properly, and leave the next stage ready to go — with no damage, no hold-ups, and no crossed wires.
Planning ahead doesn’t just save time — it protects the quality of the work, too.
