3) Build birdcage to side on house
4) Re-route sprinkler lines to accommodate extension of concrete / birdcage
5) Landscape side and front of house, including building small retention wall for plants/palms
6) Putting in pavers in driveway
7) Apoxy both interior garage as well as lanai/birdcage
8) Upgrade front door (glass inserts)
9) ** Maybe raise flooring height in lanai, to make even with interior of house**

I will be working with multiple contractors, so need advice where to start first.

Thanks as usual for any help provided.
Don't install the gutters until after getting the birdcage. The birdcage attaches to the house with a super gutter so they would just have to rip out what you had installed.
Have the birdcage contractor arrange the concrete because they can have the anchors set into the concrete to avoid having to drill and lag them in.
Just my 2 cents.
