FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Every project is different. Every pricing or process for payment should be tailored to the project. I have a general Progress Payment Schedule that I use for larger projects. Otherwise, I will bill the project at completion or charge a daily rate. Just really depends on the nature of the project.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I am a true believer of a meeting at the onset to get a feeling for each other. It is important to develop a rapport and have confidence before the project lifts off.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have been in construction all my life. My father was a licensed general engineer in San Jose. As kids, my brothers and I would work for the company during the summers. I went to college, got a business degree, worked as an estimator at a few other contracting businesses, then obtained my license and started my own business.
