Construction Cost

Quality construction is never inexpensive, and at our company we explain that the total cost will always depend on how active the homeowner participates in the project. In the construction industry, the general contractor typically will add a percentage to the total cost of all materials and labor that go through his company. When the homeowner is actively involved in the project, he may provide the doors, windows, appliances, plumbing fixtures, electrical fixtures and other items that best fits his own budget and warranty requirements. In doing so, the contractor is only charging for the installation of these items and the homeowner will save the cost of the contractor’s mark up.

However, there is a downside to this process, and that is the homeowners’ time availability to do all the shopping; taking all the responsibility of ordering the correct product; and understanding the warranties and limited warranties for all of the products that he will be providing. The contractor cannot be held re-sponsible for any of the products that he does not provide. We always try and work with the customer when they have the time available, and want to select many of the items themselves. Our standard ”Contractual Terms and Conditions” are very clear addressing the issue when the homeowner wants to actively participate. The total savings are directly related to the quantity of the finish products the homeowner provides.

To assist the homeowner is this decision making process we provide them with a list of our suppliers websites. Since we only work in specific areas,we have included the websites of the Department of Building Safety that governs the issuance of permits in the area in which they are residing. In addition, we have included a list of websites for the local Chamber of Commerces that could be of further assistance. Enjoy surfing the web!
