How Carden Company Can Assist Out of State Property Owners
Navigating through the complexities of permitting and construction can often seem intimidating in a region of the country, a business owner or their representative may not have familiarity. If that is not daunting enough, consider managing multiple unfamiliar subcontractors, labor and material shortages, tight project timelines, and budgets that seem unsteady. Carden Company has the experience to provide services at each stage of development, from pre-planning to final finishes.
Client Collaboration
Understanding a client’s project needs and expectations begin with a construction professional willing to listen and collaborate to gain a thorough understanding of the project scope, and the needs, requirements, and expectations of the owner. By utilizing this collaboration as the basis for developing reliable pre-construction and construction timelines, the owner’s needs are met and results in a project completed on time and within budget.
Feasibility Research and Planning
Early stages of a typical project timeline include the team consulting with city planners, architects, engineers, and consultants to ascertain how changing zoning requirements, codes, costs, construction methods, and materials affect the project before owner committing to a plan. These tasks include:
- Building-code research
- Zoning conformance
- Due diligence
- Site evaluation and planning
- Preliminary design
- Initial cost projections
Project Management
When the projects reaches the construction phase, Carden’s project managers work hard to ensure that every step of the timeline and all construction tasks are kept moving forward on time and within budget by managing:
- Bid evaluations
- Subcontractor negotiations
- Contracts
- Budgeting
- Scheduling
- Construction supervision
- Regular and timely client meetings to measure progress and cost compared to budget
- Post-construction follow-up
