Run the active build without micromanaging, handle change orders correctly. 

The homeowners who get through the construction phase smoothly are not lucky. They have a system.

Part 5 covers the complete active build : a weekly check-in rhythm that keeps the project on schedule, documentation habits that protect you if questions come up, real-time change order management. 

What you'll be able to do by the end:

Run a 15-minute weekly check-in that keeps you informed without micromanaging

Document rough-in work, deliveries, and substitutions with a simple photo habit

Handle change orders in real time, written, priced, and approved before work begins

## Curriculum

### Module 1: The Active Build

- **Your Weekly Rhythm During the Build** (paid) — Your job during the build is not to supervise. It's to manage. Three habits make the difference - and this lesson walks you through all three.
- **Managing the Build Without Micromanaging** (paid) — The weekly check-in, change order protocol, and budget tracking habits that keep a renovation on track - and what to do in writing when something goes wrong.
- **You Are Not Being Difficult** (paid) — The fear of being seen as demanding is one of the most expensive silences in a renovation. Most homeowners know when something feels off. Very few say anything in the moment. Here is why speaking up is not difficult, it is professional, and why the contractors worth hiring already expect it.
