OUR PROCESS

PRE-CONSTRUCTION

The pre-construction phase is where we plan your construction project before the actual construction begins. This is where we start with a concept and design, engineer, plan, coordinate, establish expectations, and lay out how we are going to control and manage a project from start to finish to satisfy your requirements.

DESIGN – Great projects start with smart designs. We can work with your existing plans if you are already working with an architect. We can also work in the design process with your architect. Additionally, we can put you together with one of our architects or residential designers to get your design done. We also incorporate engineering as required into the design phase of the project.

SPECIFICATIONS – We take time to specify all of the components of your project. There will be specifications for plumbing, HVAC, electrical, carpentry, etc. Every category of construction will have specifications that we will conclude with the client during the pre-construction phase.

ESTIMATING – Once we have a design, specifications, and selections we can start getting quotes on materials and labor to provide you with a cost estimate for your project. During estimating we look at options and value engineer the project to meet your needs.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Project management starts when the project commences. There are many components in project management to build the project accurately, with attention to detail, on time, with quality, and on budget.

JOB LOG – Once the project has started we keep a job log. The job log will be in a log format and contain information about activity at the job site, weather conditions, progress, deliveries, items completed, pending items, etc.

MESSAGING – We have a proprietary messaging application for keeping track of all communications. This enables us to keep up with all client questions, requests, and feedback and respond in an organized format.

SCHEDULING – We maintain project schedules online. Our schedule is set up with each task, task assignments, task durations, task start dates, task completion dates, and task dependencies. The schedule is live and is updated as the project progresses. The schedule is available to view online at any time.

TRADES – All of our workers, subcontractors, and suppliers involved in your project have been vetted by our multi-point qualification process. We have been working with many of our workers and trades for over 10 years. We have some of the best trades in the industry. We will have a signed trade contractor agreement with each trade working on your project.

DOCS & PHOTOS – Part of the project management process includes taking photos of the project site to show progress. We also maintain a database of all pertinent documents including permits, engineering documents, inspection letters, etc. All of these docs and photos are available to our clients online.

ADDITIONS & CHANGES – Additions and changes are normal in any construction project. We can accommodate anything that our clients request. We have a methodical way of handling additions and changes integrated into our project management process.

PUNCH LIST – We create punch lists as each task in the project is created. We have a multi-point quality control process for each task. Punch lists are our way of tracking issues that need to be addressed.

FINANCIAL

The financial components of the project include everything from the baseline budget, to tracking that budget, and managing it into the project. There is a very clear paper trail that dovetails into the financial process. That paper trail includes a written trade agreement with agreed-upon price, verification of work completed, invoices, payment tracking, and lien waivers.

BUDGETING – The initial budget is created during the pre-construction phase of estimating. We will use that budget and track it through every purchase. We constantly track every expense to determine if we are on, under, or over budget at all times during construction.

ACCOUNTING – All of the accounting for costs of permits, materials, trades, labor, engineering, rentals, etc. is transparent. You pay everything directly or we provide an accounting service with a separate account for your project. Nothing flows through our company. A large part of working with trades, subs, and suppliers is getting everyone paid. This is a process that takes place on a weekly basis for every project.

LIEN WAIVERS – We will manage and collect lien waivers for all trades who worked on your project. These will be available to the client in the documents database that is available in our cloud-based system. These lien waivers give you peace of mind that all trades are being paid.

CLIENT COMMUNICATIONS

We know that the cornerstone of any successful construction project is communication. We utilize a cloud-based system to provide communication among our construction team and for our clients.

CUSTOMER LOGIN – We provide each client with a login to our cloud-based system which connects you with everything pertaining to your project including the schedule, selections, documents, photos, etc.

MOBILE – Our cloud-based system is available in an app so that you can have access to all information about your project from any mobile device.

SELECTIONS – We work with you to make all of the selections from large items like windows & doors down to the details like door knobs and cabinet pulls. We have designers who can work with you to show you all of the options and help find the materials, color pallets, and design styles you are looking for.

EXPECTATIONS – One of our most important goals is to set clear expectations and meet those expectations. All of our systems and processes enable us to achieve this goal.
