A full-scope luxury renovation, contract to closeout, in an average of 38 weeks — while a traditional Fairfield County renovation stretches past 72. That gap is roughly $200K in carrying costs you keep.
Other firms promise "on time, on budget." Chapter Renovation publishes the number. It's measurable, auditable, and the direct output of dedicated specialist teams running in parallel — powered by Renotech™. Every competitor who won't publish their own number is telling you everything you need to know.
Average based on completed Chapter Renovation projects, measured from signed-contract date to project-closeout date in Chapter Renovation's project-management software. Individual timelines vary by scope, building approvals, local building-department requirements, material selections, and client-driven changes. Industry ranges sourced from Chapter Renovation's market analysis (Connecticut town permit review 4–12 weeks; zoning & wetlands approvals 6–16 weeks; custom cabinetry 8–24 weeks; custom windows 16–24 weeks). Results may vary.
The critical path runs through approvals and procurement — not construction. Traditional contractors run them in sequence. Chapter Renovation runs them in parallel.
In Fairfield County, every extra month of renovation runs roughly $38,000 in temporary housing, storage, property taxes and carrying costs. Drag the slider to see what a delay really costs.
Most contractors assign one project manager to juggle every phase — which is why timelines explode. Chapter Renovation staffs every project with five specialist teams executing in parallel. While a traditional GC's PM is on hold with the town building department, our approvals team is already filing.
A full gut of a 1990s New Canaan colonial — new chef's kitchen, primary suite and a reconfigured main floor — delivered from signed contract to closeout in 35 weeks, with approvals, procurement and construction running in parallel.
