Painting for Builders: New Construction Schedules and Punch Lists

Builders bring volume and change dates constantly. Drywall runs late, the floor guys need the house first, the walkthrough moves up.

Price by the Square Foot

New construction is usually priced per square foot of floor area. Save the square feet on each lot.

Expect Date Changes

Keep builder jobs on the Waiting List until the builder confirms the house is ready, then book them.

Punch Lists

After the walkthrough comes the punch list. Book it as its own small job. Photos of the finished punch list close the conversation.

One Account per Builder

Set the builder up as one client with each lot as an address. Monthly billing works well for builders with several homes a month.
