Access and scheduling
A renovation is a chain of other people's schedules: the dealer's trucks, the general contractor's turnover of each floor, and in a hotel the operator's decision on which rooms leave inventory. We plan crew days from the dealer's ship dates and the floor release plan, and adjust when either moves. The dock and a staging room are the property's to assign; the crew stages there by floor and does not warehouse between deliveries.
In an operating hotel, new pieces go up in the service car, never the guest elevators, and the operator sets quiet hours on floors where guests are sleeping. Office buildings in Natomas and the Roseville and Rocklin parks usually book the dock and freight elevator per delivery and want Murdock's insurance certificate in hand before the first truck backs in. From June through September, dock work starts early, because unloading a trailer on a Valley afternoon is slow and hard on the crew.
