Procurement and Resource Management
Then, we partner with a reliable vendor for bulk materials like concrete, steel, lumber, and other things that will be required for the project. The next thing is to hire specialists like electricians, plumbers, and HVAC (if necessary) so that they can help with the project. Plan the machinery and equipment like excavators, stairs, concrete mixers, and others.
Construction Execution
Depending on the kind of project, we’ll need to clear and prepare the space. For instance, if you are getting your porch or front yard done, we will clear out any unwanted soil, grass, and any unwanted things and set up the temporary utilities like power, water, and the site office. And start working on your site to complete it in the given time. Throughout the construction process, we keep you informed with regular updates and are always just a phone call away whenever you need us.
Post-Construction & Handover
While closing the project professionally, we check the punch list and fix minor defects like paint touch-ups, cracks, or anything else. Then comes the final inspection for obtaining the certificate of occupancy or compliance. All the recyclable debris of concrete and metal goes for recycling. We clear out all the prep work and site office that we made from the site and hand you beautifully done exterior work. Along with that, we will tell you how you can maintain its look for the ages to come.
