Many homeowners may notice with this update there is a new "substantial completion" date. The contractor (Sundt) experienced inefficiencies within the first bay they did not anticipate.
Sundt is working two shifts per day in an attempt to make up for lost time, and continues to evaluate areas within their schedule where time can be gained.
Sundt anticipates improving their productivity and implementing efficiencies to achieve the late September substantial completion date.
