How this works

Your start date sets when each build phase begins, and every item's order-by date is worked backward from the phase that needs it, using conservative lead times — the full method is in the renovation ordering timeline.

What's different here: these are one-time estimates, but inside Hausbound the same engine recomputes your dates automatically when your schedule moves, your retailer quotes a different lead time, or an order email lands in your Hausbound Mailbox.
