The Critical Role of Construction Administration

We are eager to discuss construction administration and why it's an absolute game-changer for ensuring the success of your design dreams. So, grab your coffee, settle in, and let's chat about why we are so serious about this phase that we require a deposit.

Why a Deposit, You Ask?

Design drawings are like a roadmap, guiding the construction process through the intricate landscape of your vision. But, let's be real – we're not fortune-tellers, and unexpected bumps in the road are bound to happen. Maybe a product vanishes from the market or a tiny detail slips through the cracks. Enter construction administration, our trusty sidekick in navigating these uncharted territories.

In the good ol' days, we skipped the deposit dance, and boy, did we pay the price. Endless phone calls with contractors explaining that we weren't onboard for this phase of the design process, per client request – talk about a time sink! That small deposit you're tossing our way? It ensures we're there, ready to at minimum, let the team know that you chose not to involve us in this phase of the process. 

The Marvels of Construction Administration

1. Reviewing Submittal Packages:

These submittals may be cabinet shop drawings, custom product creations, or fabrication for your counters among other things. They tell us how the fabricator interprets our drawings, and the first draft is always wrong. That’s not to say that the fabricator is doing a bad job, it’s standard. Just as how our initial design drawing may not fully encompass your vision for your design.

2. Finding New Supplies:

 Oops, the chosen materials are MIA or discontinued. Fear not! We're on the case, helping you find the perfect replacement that won't break the bank or compromise quality. Your contractor may find an inexpensive sheet vinyl that is toted as “green”, but we’re here with the knowledge to see past their advertising myths and ensure that you have the quality you deserve. Because nobody wants a construction drama, right?

3. Problem-Solving:

Unforeseen hiccups in construction? That's where we shine. As your project's superhero, we swoop in to resolve issues. Flexibility is our middle name, ensuring your construction stays on track without a hitch.

Changes Will Happen – Count on It!

We get it – changes are as inevitable as the sun rising. But keeping us in the loop is your golden ticket to design excellence. Without the heads-up, we lose our powers to ensure top-notch quality and protect our reputation – a win-win for both your design and our business.

So, there you have it! The lowdown on why construction administration and that trusty deposit are the unsung heroes of our design process.

Thank you,

Rachel & Sean
