Open-concept remodeled Tulsa home — Fast-track design-build remodel by The Buckingham Group of Tulsa, Oklahoma
Remodeling your entire home is an exciting opportunity to create the living spaces you’ve always dreamed of. But for most Tulsa homeowners, the thought of months—or even years—of disruption can feel overwhelming. How do you shorten the timeline without cutting corners on quality? At The Buckingham Group, we’ve spent 43+ years mastering a design-build approach that reduces delays, improves efficiency, and gets homeowners back into their transformed spaces faster. In this blog, we’ll share strategies that help minimize time while maximizing results in a total home remodel.
Efficiency and beauty go hand in hand.
Start With a Clear Plan
Every day saved during construction comes from planning done beforehand. Working with an experienced design-build firm ensures you have architectural drawings, selections, and budgets aligned before a single wall comes down. Pre-construction planning is the foundation of a faster, smoother remodel.
Minimize Change Orders
Every change order adds days, sometimes weeks, to a remodel. While some are unavoidable, most result from decisions not finalized before construction. A thorough design-build process reduces changes, keeps budgets accurate, and shortens the schedule.
Efficient Permit and Inspection Management
Navigating city permits and inspections can be time-consuming. Experienced remodelers know how to submit thorough documentation, schedule inspections promptly, and anticipate potential red flags. This expertise prevents costly delays.
On site supervision keeps remodels efficient.
Full-Time Project Supervision
Having a dedicated project manager on site ensures that subcontractors stay coordinated and any issues are addressed immediately. Supervision reduces downtime and avoids mistakes that would otherwise slow progress.
Living Through a Remodel—Or Not
Deciding whether to stay in the home or move out during construction impacts the schedule. Vacant homes often remodel faster since crews have full access. If you remain in the home, work can still progress efficiently with the right planning and staging areas.
