Communication - communication - TALK!
For instance: at my condo I selected two matching light fixtures for the front bathroom. One had two bulbs the other four. On the plans I marked one over the sink and one over the toilet. Guess where the holes in the cement were yep one over the sink the other over the toilet IN THE CEILING not the wall!
The house up north I had wood framed so that all the plumbing and electric wires could run inside the walls. The day I found a workman breaking out a channel in the plaster and asked him what he was doing he said getting ready to run the electric lines. When I talked to the contractor he said Oh they forgot to put them inside! So, I have external plumbing lines everywhere.
It is VERY important to be on site every day!
My neighbor across the road had his entire house built and ready to move in while only the lower portion of mine was done and his come in at CONTRACT price where mine cost me about three times the estimate.
Buyer Beware!

Take every estimate and double the time and the money and you will be about right.
