Long Lead Items Checklist for Home Builder

This checklist is designed to ensure that all long-lead items are identified, tracked, and managed effectively during the pre-construction phase of custom home building projects. Long-lead items are materials or products that require a significant amount of time to procure and can impact the project timeline if not handled properly. This checklist will guide the pre-construction team through the process of identifying these items, tracking their submittal requirements, confirming manufacturing timelines, and communicating any potential impacts to the project manager and trades. By following this checklist, the team can proactively manage these items to avoid delays during critical phases such as framing, MEP rough-ins, and finishing.
