FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The best way for us to give you an accurate and fair price for your project is to become acquainted with the project. When the plans are not available or does not apply to the project, we ensure we meet and perform a walk-thru to identify existing conditions and explore the "why's" of the project: Why are you remodeling?, Why are you trying to fix? etc. After we get up to speed with your needs, we begin putting together the assessment of the cost Given the complexity of any construction job (between guesstimating man hours to budgeting for materials), EDK has invested in construction estimating software to help reduce the speculation that goes into creating a bid. Typical items we evaluate include: HVAC needs, Subcontractor fees, Materials, Cost of labor, Sitework (such as demolition and hauling), Preventative care, Finishes, Specialties, Equipment, Furnishings.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
During the initial stages of the design process, EDK has a number of client meetings in order to determine the purpose and objective of the proposed construction. The primary activities, for which the project is being constructed, as well as the relationships between spaces, are reviewed. We then establish the scope of work for the project and propose the estimate based on a thorough analysis of the project. Once the estimate is reviewed by the Owner, EDK provides a proposal or construction contract that is reasonable between the needs of the Client and those of the builder. Once all of the selections are made, the contract is signed, and you’re ready to start your construction project.
