Lead times for common long-lead items in the current Utah market: custom windows and exterior doors (8–20 weeks), HVAC equipment (6–14 weeks), electrical panels (4–12 weeks), custom cabinetry (10–16 weeks), specialty tile and stone (6–20 weeks). When these items sit on or near the critical path and aren’t ordered early enough, they extend the project end date by exactly how late they arrive. A window package ordered at framing start (week 6) with a 16-week lead time won’t arrive until week 22 — by which time framing, MEP, insulation, and drywall could have proceeded except that window installation is a prerequisite for proper air sealing and final exterior closure. RainFire Builders identifies all long-lead items at the estimate stage and orders them before construction begins.
