Compare permit windows, lead times, and trade sequencing so your schedule assumptions stay realistic.
Residential projects generally move faster through design iterations but can slow down due to client-side scope changes.
Commercial projects often require deeper documentation, stricter compliance checks, and longer procurement windows for specialized systems.
Trade sequencing also differs. Commercial projects usually run with tighter interdependencies across MEP, interiors, and external works.
Successful scheduling in both categories depends on realistic lead-time assumptions and consistent coordination meetings.
