Preventing Costly Build Errors

I’m gearing up to convert my century-old riverside boathouse into a small art gallery. The preliminary drawings already hint at clashes—HVAC duct runs crossing timber struts, concealed wiring routes brushing up against historic joists and slab penetrations too tight for plumbing bends. I’d rather catch these issues on paper than face idle crews and surprise costs once work starts. Has anyone here arranged a professional vetting of plans to head off those mid-build nightmares?

My project began when the storm stripped off a few roof tiles and showed damp patches that no quick patch would fix. Patchwork felt pointless, so I hired a crew expert in construction project management to own the entire workflow. Their first move was a detailed site audit, flagging where planned plumbing and electrical runs intersected load-bearing timbers. They then issued a phased plan locking in foundations, utility trenches and framing trades in sequence. Crews wrapped each zone nightly to keep the yard clear, and material deliveries arrived just in time. Photo updates dropped into a shared portal every evening, so I stayed synced without dozens of calls. Mid-build I asked to shift a window frame and they slotted it in immediately. In three weeks a once-dilapidated shed emerged as a solid, weatherproof shell ready for interior fit-out and tiled finishes without any on-site surprises.
