Our Process – What It’s Like to Work With A1 Building Concepts

So, you’ve decided to take the plunge and do some home renovations. Congratulations! Renovating your home can be an exciting and rewarding experience, but it can also be a bit overwhelming. One of the most important decisions you will make is which general contractor to hire for the job. In this blog post, we’ll discuss what you can expect from working with a general contractor on your project and also get into the specifics of how we handle these things at A1 Building Concepts.

The Estimate Process

When working with a general contractor, one of the first steps involves getting an estimate. This should include an itemized list with details like labor hours, materials costs, and other related expenses. During the estimate process, at A1 we like to go out to the client’s home, and actually see and measure the space we’re working with. It’s much easier to have that initial walk through and conversation with the client in the space so we know what we’re working with. 

Project Management and Communication

Another key component of working with a general contractor is communication and project management. In addition to providing estimates and overseeing the construction process, your contractor should also keep in touch throughout the project to ensure that everything is going according to plan. Regular check-ins are essential for staying on schedule, managing budgets, and meeting deadlines. At A1, we pride ourselves on having open and clear communication with our clients. We’re available via phone and email to answer any questions, and give you timely project updates. 

Working With Subcontractors

Your general contractor may work with subcontractors in order to complete certain aspects of the job more efficiently or cost-effectively (e.g., plumbing or electrical work). If this is the case, it’s important to have clear expectations regarding who is responsible for what tasks—and these expectations should be outlined in writing prior to beginning any work. At A1, we have a roster of smaller subcontractors, and are really clear with our communication with clients on who will be in their home & when. 

Conclusion

Working with a professional general contractor is essential when it comes to ensuring a successful home renovation project—but it doesn’t have to be intimidating! By understanding what you can expect from working with a general contractor – from getting estimates to managing subcontractors – you’ll know exactly what needs doing for each step of your renovation journey! The most important thing? Make sure you find someone who you feel comfortable communicating with honestly and openly so that no surprises crop up as things progress! Good luck!
