- Client contacts Consol Construction
-
Paul Consol will have an initial meeting
with client, at which time discussion is made regarding the
client's wishes and ideas. The need for plans, permits,
architectural design or engineering is determined. There is
a discussion of the client's budget. Consol Construction
gives a rough estimate of the project cost at this time.
Based on this information, the client decides whether or not
to go ahead with the project.
-
The contractor now spends time making
material lists and determining cost of materials.
Subcontractors are contacted and their bid for work is
obtained. If needed, architects and/or engineers are
contacted to determine their fees for work. A visit is made
to the building department to get estimates of plan check
and permit fees. When all this information is available, the
contractor must now write up a contract.
- Paul Consol will now have another
meeting with the client to discuss contract details.
Modifications are mde if needed. The client will be informed
of legalities at this time. The payment schedule is
determined. When a final agreement is reached, the client
will pay a 10% down payment, and work is scheduled to begin.
If the client changes his/her mind and decides not to go
ahead with the project, they will be billed for the
contractor's time used during the bid process.
- Any amendments or changes to the
contract, or changes to, or additional work, for whatever
reason or cause, will cause the work to stop. Discussion
between client and contractor will be made to agree upon
what changes and/or extra cost will be, and a change order
will be signed. Payment will be made, and work will
continue.
