We’re putting a second story on our house, and the neighbors have started complaining almost daily—noise, dust, even where the crew parks. We did notify everyone ahead of time, but now it’s escalating. One neighbor even reported the project to the city, though we’re fully permitted. Has anyone dealt with neighborhood conflicts during an ongoing build? What’s the best way to keep peace without compromising progress or bending over backward for people just looking to cause problems?

Dealing with neighbors during construction can be challenging. Open communication is key to maintaining good relationships. Before starting any major work, it’s advisable to inform your neighbors about the project’s scope and timeline. This transparency helps set expectations and reduces potential conflicts. Engaging professionals like fields builds can further streamline the process, as they often have experience in managing community relations during construction projects. Their expertise can be invaluable in navigating local regulations and ensuring that both the construction team and neighbors are on the same page.
