Frequently Asked Questions Bielefield Construction Inc.

 

 Why Should I Choose A Contractor Early On?

Choosing a Contractor who can help with design is becoming much more common and it definitely is sensible  and easier because a homeowner works with one company through the entire remodeling process. This smooths out the process during all four phases of the project; the Design, Preliminary Selections, Construction Agreement and the Construction Phases. Bielefield Construction Inc. can handle both the design and the construction, which means you can expect greater reliability. As a result, projects are completed more quickly and with fewer surprises.

This  results in you:

  • More  flexibility in design decisions
  • Enjoying seamless communication among team members
  • Receiving the most value for your dollar
  • Realizing a reduced project time frame

 Is your company licensed and/or insured?

 Do You Give Guaranteed Start and/or Finish Dates?

We are not able to commit to guaranteed start dates as we are usually finishing up with other projects we are committed to complete. We give our clients anticipated start dates and try our best to stick to them.

For obvious reasons, it’s in everyone’s interest to finish every project in a timely manner. Due to the wide range of building projects we offer, the project time frames vary widely. For instance, there is often a considerable difference between our Residential and Commercial Construction projects. Naturally, an ADU will not require as much time as a new home build. We realize the importance of completing remodels as near the completion date as possible due to the imposition that inevitably accompanies home remodels. Prior to the job starting, we will provide time estimates and a schedule for the projected work including all the labor, trades and inspections. It’s always our policy to keep our clients aware of any changes in the schedule as we work our way through the process.

 Can We Provide Our Own Products?

Our accuracy, timeliness and product order completion all play into our ability to insure a smooth running project for which we take total responsibility. Most products including windows, doors, siding, cabinetry, counter tops, fittings and fixtures are essentially linked to the building process.  With few exceptions, it is important to our process that we provide most of the products throughout the entire project.

 What Part Does The Home Owner Play In This Process?

The homeowner is thoroughly involved in the Design and Selection phase of their project. While a building or remodel project can be exciting and fun, we know it can also be stressful. We are in the best position to guide and assist you in the Design and Selection phase and we appreciate your effort in making the decisions required for your project early on. This reduces time, costs as well as stress and our goal is to ease the burden of this process through education, communication and professionalism.

 What Is The Primary Goal Of Bielefield Construction?

General Contractor, Bielefield Construction Inc., specializes in taking clients from project inception to project completion. We work hard to provide a detailed, accurate estimate which leads to a smooth transition to the Construction phase. By eliminating the potential for confusion and working through the majority of the details ahead of time, actual project costs can be determined which saves both time and money. Changes are very costly and designing projects and selecting products during the Construction phase is even more costly. The Design/Build process saves you money in the long run and is the best option to result in a completed project that everyone benefits from.
