The Process

  1. What is a General Contractor?
  2. Where do we go from here?
  3. What is a Specification and Cost Analysis (SCA)?
  4. What do you have in mind?
  5. Why discuss your budget.
  6. Designing - the fun part.
  7. Materials and Products - so much to choose from.
  8. What are Specialty Contractors?
  9. Bringing it all together - the "almost" finale.
  10. Finally the Schedule - When will it be finished?
  11. Glitches and Changes.

Glitches and Changes.

As we mentioned earlier, they happen. That's why a project that is scheduled for 6 weeks takes 8 weeks. We don't want to promise or deceive you, and we feel that being above board is critical to what is really our limited "partnership". Communication is imperative. This can be a fun venture, but only if we are all realistic about the entire process, its highs and lows, with full understanding of the entire process in advance.

Again, please keep in mind that changes and delays are not unusual, but typical when building a prototype, which every remodeling project is - especially when involving so many companies and people. One of our #1 problems involves clients who do not make timely decisions about product selections. Planning is crucial and cannot be dismissed in a cavalier manner.

We hope that we have explained “The Process” to your satisfaction. Please be neither apprehensive nor anxious about it. We will guide you step by step through the entire journey. The purpose of this "synopsis" is to provide you with the basics of standard practices in the construction industry, as well as our own preferences, to ensure a smooth flow of the work to be done. Upon completion, what we want to hear from you is: “I'm thrilled with everything. It's been great, and here's your final check. Can I write you a letter of recommendation?”
