Working around residents changes the plan more than it changes the price. Plan for it explicitly.
01Phase by constraint, not by convenience
Water shutoffs, noise windows, and access routes define what can happen when. Map those constraints first and let the phasing follow.
02Communicate in the same cadence as the work
Residents and property managers need predictable, plain notices. A consistent schedule of updates prevents most avoidable friction.
03Protect the operating story
Decide in advance what the asset must continue to do while work proceeds, whether collecting rent, passing inspections, or maintaining access, and plan around it.
