FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
All projects are based on site conditions and size of work need. The other thing to keep in mind is labor is always done in man hours. Example if you have a 2000 square feet pad needed and it takes five days to complete at eight hours per work day you think at a $100.00 an hour that equates to 40 hours x $100= $4000.00, which is true. However if you have a five man crew labor would look like this 40 hours × $100.00 x 5 personnel = $20000.00 in labor. Now don't fret about this particular example. 2000 square feet is much less that for sure but I wanted to show how it's works. The rest of my pricing is simple, which is materials and rental equipment is added into the invoice and put together as a proposal which I will have back to the customer within three days. As far as discounts I don't do much discounts but I can discuss if you have a large project with multiple task needed to be done.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After you make contact with me I will respond within 48 hrs. Typically within a few hours of the request. I am generally good at looking at my emails hourly. After that I like to make phone contact to schedule an on-site visit to get a perspective of the plot and see your vision you have in mind for the project. After that I will do some research on pricing for material, rental equipment if needed, and a rough labor estimate, which takes about three days. Also if a permit is needed this can delay the process. Depending the time of year the wait times can vary. I like to schedule work within a week after the proposal is approved from you the customer. Based on the scope of work I like to dedicate my time only to your project till it's done.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Since my career-field is so broad from building roads, sidewalks, airfield parking ramps, runways, landscaping, fencing, sign work, painting, and excavation work. I have always sought out training for all these areas. The Air Force has you go through 16 weeks of training which is just a on hands feel for the job then your thrown into you job as soon as you arrive on station. From there I have six deployments which when your over there you like a homesteader. You generally have to find a scrap pile and make what you need because it take forever to get an item over there. So welding was a on hands from other co-workers. I also became the shops trainer for all concrete, asphalt and equipment. I do have a list bigger list that is out of this scope of work I am currently doing.
