Your questions answered:
How long will it
take to finish the project?
Each project should be evaluated individually.
Different city entities, type of facility, material availability and
scope of work should all be considered when determining the completion
date.

Does
the price include everything?
What other costs will we encounter?
The price will
include all construction costs to complete the project per the
construction drawings and specifications. Items normally not included (but may
be upon request) in the construction cost are furnishings, furniture,
phone & data cables, security system, utility company deposits for
final service, or unforeseen items within existing walls, ceilings or
slabs. No additional costs will
be incurred without prior written approval by the Owner.

What
is the difference in pricing when comparing Contractors?
The most common
reason for a wide spread in pricing is interpretation of the Scope of
Work or a mistake by an estimator.
If the spread is larger than 3%, review the proposals
carefully. Know what you are
getting by asking questions. The
old saying “You get what you pay for” can be very true. Don’t hope for the best without
investigating and asking questions.
Expect the Best for the best price, not necessarily the lowest
price.

|
Do
you feel comfortable that you know what you are getting and paying for?
Even the best set
of plans and specifications are just that – plans that must be
carried out to a final product.
Communication between all parties, Architect, Owner and
Contractor, is the key to knowing what you are getting. When all parties know what you want
and expect, it will be more likely to get what you want!

|
What
kind of warranty do you provide?
Full 1 year
warranty on all new materials and equipment. We believe in Service before, during
and after the project is complete.
We are not happy until the client is happy with the
project. Referrals and repeat
business come from happy clients!
|

|
What
are your quality control procedures?
We have a variety of check lists throughout the whole process from
estimating to punch list completion.
Regularly scheduled project progress meetings with all parties
involved are very important to resolving issues to obtain a quality
project in a timely manner.
|

|
What
types of project have you completed?
Commercial projects including Office, Warehouse, Medical, Dental,
Institutional, Restaurant, Hospital, Banking, Gyms, and Parks & Trails.
|

|
Was
there or How was the communication with the Contractor during the bid
stage? Did the Contractor ask
any questions or clarifications on the plans before turning in the
proposal?
Questions are the first clue to a Contractor's attention to detail and
are a good indication of what can be expected during the project. Interview the
Contractors prior to awarding the project. Communication between all parties
is the key to a successful project.
