PRECONSTRUCTION INTAKE REQUEST
desk Estimate overview
At Courtney Custom Construction, Inc., we offer a desk estimate as an initial step in the preconstruction process. A desk estimate provides a rough overview of the project based on your description and current industry standards. This allows us to:
- Determine if the project scope and your budget are aligned with your expectations.
- Give you a general ballpark estimate before our first site visit.
- Provide a template for discussion during the first job walk, where we can review details, make adjustments, and finalize the project plan.
The desk estimate is a useful tool to ensure that we're all on the same page before moving forward, helping you save time and giving clarity as we enter the design and construction phase.
what to expect during Construction
At Courtney Custom Construction, Inc., we understand that construction can be both an exciting and overwhelming process. Our goal is to make the experience as smooth as possible by keeping you informed and engaged every step of the way. Here's what you can expect from us during your project:
1. Clear Communication: We will maintain open lines of communication, providing regular updates on progress and addressing any questions or concerns you may have. You’ll always know what’s happening on your project.
2. Detailed Planning and Scheduling: We work hard to stick to a clear timeline, but construction projects can sometimes bring unexpected changes. If any adjustments are needed, we’ll work with you to ensure the project stays on track and within budget.
3. Site Cleanliness and Safety: You can expect us to maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment. We take pride in leaving each job site tidy at the end of every day.
4. Professionalism: Our team is committed to treating your home and property with the utmost respect. We will be courteous, dependable, and transparent throughout the entire project.
To ensure a successful project, we will provide you with a Client Engagement Agreement at the start of the construction process. This agreement outlines what you can expect from us and what we need from you in return, such as:
- Timely Decisions: We rely on your timely input to keep the project moving smoothly. Clear communication about design choices, material preferences, and any changes is crucial to maintaining the timeline.
- Access to the Site: We’ll need regular access to your property to complete the work as planned. Any restrictions or concerns should be discussed early in the process.
- Mutual Respect: Just as you can expect professionalism from us, we ask for your cooperation in maintaining a positive and respectful working relationship.
By setting clear expectations from the beginning, we can create a partnership that leads to a successful and satisfying construction experience.
Post-Construction: finalizing your project
At Courtney Custom Construction, Inc., our commitment to quality doesn’t end when the last nail is hammered. After the construction is complete, we take the time to ensure everything meets your expectations and that you are fully satisfied with the results. Here’s what you can expect during the post-construction phase:
1. Final Job Walk: We will schedule a final walk-through with you to review the project. During this walk, we’ll carefully compare the completed work to the original estimate and ensure that the full scope of work has been completed to your satisfaction.
2. System Demonstration: If your project includes new installations like electrical service, lighting, appliances, or any other systems, we’ll make sure you know how to operate and maintain them. Our team will walk you through any instructions, answer your questions, and provide guidance on the proper use of these features.
3. Final Cleaning: Before we finish, we conduct a thorough cleaning of the job site. Our goal is to leave your home or property not only transformed but also clean, safe, and ready for you to enjoy immediately.
By the end of the post-construction phase, we aim to leave you with a beautifully completed project, a clear understanding of how everything works, and a space that’s clean and orderly. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we’re dedicated to making sure your experience with Courtney Custom Construction, Inc. is seamless from start to finish.
