What We Cover in Author’s Control Service

Ensuring Designs Are Implemented As Per Approved Plans

This involves monitoring structural integrity, verifying compliance with zoning regulations, and ensuring that all design elements, such as load-bearing walls, HVAC systems, and electrical configurations, are executed as specified. We thoroughly review plans for constructability, confirming that every measurement, material selection, and technical detail is adhered to, minimizing the risk of design discrepancies or structural issues.

Conducting Quality Control Inspections At Key Project Stages

We perform comprehensive quality control inspections at critical phases of the build, including pre-pour inspections for foundations, rough-ins for electrical and plumbing, framing, and final finishes. Our team evaluates compliance with building codes, structural specifications, and material standards at each stage, ensuring the construction meets or exceeds all technical and safety requirements. These inspections allow us to identify and resolve potential issues such as misalignment, improper material use, or code violations before they impact the project’s progress or quality, keeping the build on schedule and to standard.

Providing Corrective Recommendations For On-Site Adjustments

Throughout the building process, unexpected obstacles may emerge that require prompt solutions. Our team is ready to deliver these prompt, expert advice for any on-site adjustments. This could involve adjusting the structure based on unforeseen site factors, enhancing mechanical systems for optimal efficiency, or selecting alternative materials to align with the project’s requirements. We provide thorough, practical suggestions and guarantee that every adjustment is smoothly incorporated while maintaining integrity, safety, and adherence to the regulations of the project.

Verifying Contractor Compliance With Material Specifications

Choosing the right materials and following specifications closely are essential for guaranteeing the lasting strength and functionality of customized homes. Strictly following home building author control, we ensure that all contractors adhere to the approved plans by meticulously checking that every material used meets the necessary standards for quality, durability, and compliance with regulations. We perform thorough inspections of materials delivered to the site, like framing lumber, insulation, flooring, and finishes, and make certain they are stored correctly to avoid any damage before installation.

Monitoring Craftsmanship For Precision And Standards Adherence

We closely monitor the work of all subcontractors to ensure that every trade, whether framing, masonry, drywall, electrical, or cabinetry, adheres to industry best practices and the project’s technical specifications. We emphasize precision in all aspects of construction, from structural framing alignment (plumb, level, and square) to the correct installation of systems like HVAC for optimal airflow and energy efficiency.  We also ascertain that fine finishes meet the highest standards of aesthetics and durability, reflecting the quality expected in a custom home. 

Documenting Progress With Detailed Reports For Clients

Our team maintains a documentation system throughout construction, providing clients with detailed progress reports at every stage. These reports include updated schedules, completed milestones, inspection results, and any potential issues or deviations that may arise. By documenting key data points such as site conditions, change orders, and material deliveries, we offer clients an accurate, up-to-date view of their home’s construction.
