This detail typically would require 3 subcontractors, possibly 4, to complete.
Coordination with other subs to come do a small amount of work in the middle of ours adds time to the overall schedule.
For MSC this shows up with insulation, pre-rock, and gauge metal framing especially.
BEST OPTION - Change the design to omit the coordination required
2ND BEST OPTION - MSC picks up additional scope necessary to allow our scope to be completed interrupted.
WORST OPTION - Force each scope to have multiple starts/stops to complete their work (more cost & more time)
The book Critical Chain by Eli Goldratt talks about the schedule impacts of handoffs.
Let's eliminate them as much as possible!
