Recently, We have started offering PreConstruction Services to our clients.
We saw a need in a market where potential clients had limited information about what the building process looks like in our market. Many of these clients were getting incorrect or misleading information from friends, neighbors, real estate agents, architects, and even other builders. More often than not, these kind people were finding out the information they received very early in their process of designing for renovations or new construction that this information was incorrect, incomplete, or inaccurate too late in the process.
We have seen people waste tens of thousands of dollars, months and sometime even years on building and renovation designs that do not work for their needs, uses, desires, or budgets.
We decided to change that and devised a PreConstruction Services Agreement (PSA) for our clients. This is a very flexible agreement that we have been using to assist potential clients, owners, buyers, and sellers by providing information regarding the construction process, local regulations, restrictions, planning, and budgets relative to building construction and renovation work in this market.
