How can setting a fixed weekly review meeting with your contractor keep renovation progress on track?

Renovations go off track when communication becomes random. A missed call here, a forgotten message there, and suddenly tiles are installed in the wrong direction or a colour you never approved shows up.

Having a fixed weekly review—say every Saturday morning—creates a rhythm. You walk through the site together, check what was done, clarify doubts, and decide what’s happening next week. Everyone knows there’s a regular checkpoint coming.

This also makes it easier to spot delays early. If the same task keeps getting “almost done” week after week, you can talk about it before the schedule completely collapses.

It feels more professional and less like you’re constantly chasing updates.
