OUR TEAM

Our management team consists of seasoned professionals who will be there to meet your every need. We look at a project as an integrated collection of systems working in conjunction with specific sites. Our extensive knowledge-base of appropriate options and methods are our forte. We have the ability to control the detailed flow of information required to complete EnergyStar and Green Building projects.

Coordinating the project design, based on the client's needs and wishes, with the current labor and material resources is what we enjoy, and it shows in the end product. There are a lot of new innovative materials flooding the marketplace claiming to save energy and resources. We are extremely particular about everything that we do. Before we replace the enduring materials and methods that we have used for decades, our critical staff reviews and tests them from every angle. Some pass muster and many do not. Our expertise assures you that if we are comfortable using a product, you can enjoy it with confidence.

The budget of a project is tracked from the initial onset of the contract, until the vacuum cleaner is loaded into the truck on our way out. Projects usually change, some a little and some a lot. We track those changes with our Change Management Process. This starts with the recording of a potential change. We then estimate or price all of the affects that the change will have on the budget and schedule. The process ends with a formal signed change order so that everyone knows where we stand.

We can control a schedule to meet your needs with weekly updates from the field keeping everyone on the same page. A project schedule is normally included with the contract, and is ammended by the change order process if need be.

We can help with material selections as much as or as little as you prefer. We realize that everyone is different and our mission statement supports that. Our management and design staff know the right questions to ask to ensure an outcome that is just right for you.

Budget, schedule, and quality of work are all important. Communication is paramount. We communicate with clients in numerous ways, taking advantage of all of the latest methods. We create 3D models of complex projects to give our "visual" clients a more clear picture of how things are going to look. With our guidance clients can see what their house will look like as they come down the driveway, or what they will see when they enter a room.
