Questions about this project

Can you work around us so we don't have to close?

On this job that was treated as one of the constraints. The page lists working around active business hours to keep operational downtime down, alongside the heavy mechanical and electrical work that had to happen around services that were already there.

How much can be done outside trading hours depends on the work itself. Demolition and anything noisy or dusty is the part worth talking through before you commit to a schedule.

How long do the custom pieces take to turn up?

Long enough that this page lists it as one of the challenges. The custom cabinetry, the counter top and the lighting were all ordered items, and coordinating their lead times was part of running the job.

This page does not print how long each item took. Ask for lead times in writing on anything custom before demolition starts, because that is usually what sets the finish date.

Who cleans up at the end of each day?

This page does not spell out a cleanup routine, so here is what can honestly be said. The job was planned around active business hours, which only works if the space is handed back usable at the end of a shift. Elite's customers raise cleanup unprompted in their reviews. One writes that the crew "even cleaned up everything before they left", another that they "left the area clean".

Put it in writing anyway. Agree who sweeps at the end of each day, where debris goes, and who does the final clean before you reopen.
