A closer look
Retail, healthcare and office renovations often require night work. Productivity is lower and costs higher, so pricing and planning must reflect that.
Where to start
Check local noise rules before bidding after-hours work.
An example
A GC planned a store remodel at night with rotating crews. The store stayed open and the schedule held.
Common mistakes
Underpricing, poor lighting and tired crews.
What to track
Track night productivity and incidents.
Questions to ask
What are the noise limits? Who supervises? How do we price premium time?
Who owns it
The superintendent plans and supervises; the PM prices and obtains permits.
Pricing and risk
Price premium time, extra supervision, lighting and lower productivity. Many contractors underestimate how much slower crews work at night and absorb the loss.
