It is not quite that simple. I've been a professional construction project manager for 25 years. The job should be coordinated with all the trades involved -- they will tell you when they need to be there and they all have to know what the requirements are for the installation. For instance the carpenters need to know what dimensions to frame in for things like bathroom fixtures (shower or tub or vanity) and where ductwork has to pass between rooms and floors and where large piping such as drain lines must go.. Unless you have fully generated engineer drawings for every detail of the planned renovation these things have to be worked out between all the trades on site. Typically once the structural contractor understands what allowances have to be made for the locations of the various mechanical and electrical systems, they will keep them or you informed at what point these trades will have access to do the in the wall rough ins. These have to be done at various stages in the construction, not all at once. And plumbing takes precedence over electrical in routing their pipes since they are larger and have to have certain fall pitch in the drains. Electrical can work around what space is left in most cases so they usually come in AFTER the plumbing rough ins. Plus all finishes have to be done after the carpenter finishes are done. So each trade has to work in a minimum of two phases each, They can't come in and do it all in one pass.
i will be doing some project/construction management on my own small refurb. i know that more than one trade can work at the same time but just wanted to make sure i got the right trade in at the right time. i am having some structual work done a rewire and a central heating system fitted. i was going to have the builder in 1st followed by 1st fix electrician then 1st fix plumbing is this the right way round? thanks
