A sloppy review pushes those same problems into the shop or onto the jobsite, where they cost weeks and thousands. At 212 Renovations Group, we treat the redline as a deliverable, not a chore. Here's the process we run on every custom cabinetry, paneling, and built-in package — along with the checklist our project ma
