I worked for a family owned builder as a designer. Believe me when I say this, the builder is in hell and you are there with him. For me it is a typical process of humans building things. (and making mistakes) Sadly you are at the stage where the more you push to get things finished from them the more harried the workers get (and are bullied) and the more errors occur. You are doing all the right things by managing the end of this build and advocating for yourself. Insert yourself into this project as part of the team. You know the workers strength and weaknesses and you yourself are very good at seeing both the details and bigger picture. I applaud you in how far you've gotten. The end is in sight. Now tell yourself, instead of I shouldn't have to do this, I am damn good at managing this and here's what needs to be done to keep moving forward. Cheers!

Hang in there- I wish I had some nugget of advice, but at this stage of my life, if someone were to tell me that their reno went smoothly and wrapped up more or less on schedule, I’d never trust anything else they ever said.
