      Questions

      About the build roadmap

      Is this a schedule?

      No. It shows the usual order of work, not how long each step takes. Your own plan depends on the site, the weather and your choices.

      Why does the order matter?

      Heavy and messy work comes first, then structure, then finishes and cleaning, so each step protects the one before it.

      What if I only need a repair?

      Then many steps drop away. The roadmap shows only the steps your choices need.
