| CWC Builders is fully experienced in assisting owners throughout the planning, design and building of their projects. Throughout the entire project we perform for you – always working towards exceeding expectations, keeping lines of communication open, maintaining reliable and accurate reports, and exercising a proactive approach that insures the project’s success. Our Vice President, Ken Hoffman and his team are especially regarded for their preconstruction collaboration with owners and architects. In fact, since the majority of our work is negotiated, Ken is accustomed to–and strongly prefers–participating with the owner and architect throughout the entire preconstruction period. We
begin every job by gathering information about and becoming familiar with
the property. At the site, we will carefully survey the parcel and the
existing building to understand the owner’s proposal as affected
by the opportunities, challenges and limitations of the property. We will
use this information to advise the owner’s team through the preparation
of plans, budget and schedule. As requested, we will recommend construction
methods and materials of appropriate cost, quality and availability for
the project. Our overarching goal is a construction plan that balances
cost, timing and quality, and has the greatest likelihood of proceeding
to a successful outcome. The
vigorous steps we take in preconstruction phases will ensure projects
begin on time and on budget. Our preconstruction team oversees the transition
of the job from the office to the field; and while preconstruction is
still underway, an experienced, highly skilled superintendent and project
manager team will begin construction planning. As construction nears completion, CWCB staff will collect and convey to the owner all manuals and warranties for mechanical and other systems employed during construction. The superintendent will collaborate with the architect to create and manage “punch lists” identifying outstanding items to be completed, and will then schedule the trades to complete. Project staff will remain available to the project team throughout the post-construction warranty period to respond to all construction-related issues. |
