*DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROCESS*
HOW IT WORKS
1- Pre-Construction Phase
The pre-construction is central to the success of every project. Assisting with project feasibility factors, cost vs. design analysis and conceptual design study and evaluation is amongst the expertise of our team. We develop a thorough process of understanding your goals, scope of the project, outline a strategy and assemble a dedicated team to get the project delivered on time and within budget.
2- Quality Control
It starts from the initial project kick-off phase where the build team starts to work or break ground. Our detail oriented on-site staff are aware of every detail of the job to ensure the quality of the job is maintained throughout the work. Whether it's at the foundation phase, waterproofing or finishing details, it requires an experienced eye for detail and compliance.
3- Project Scheduling and Timelines
Drafting a real-time construction schedule that makes sense and facilitates the main objectives of the project. We use the proven Critical Path Method (CPM) to keep the subs accountable and your project on time. It’s an important task that we perform here at LaFaye Contracting to insure quality, and on time delivery of the project
4- Communication
Maintaining full communication with the clients, design team, project management team and all parties involved, at all times, leads to a high level of project success. Effective communication is vital to the overall success and completion of construction projects. Good communication will lead to better project collaboration.

Safety is the number one concern, and responsibility for all at our job sites.

Our teams immediately wrap their minds and attention around the project. Thereby focusing all of our resources on the issue, in order to rectify it immediately, in the most efficient and beneficial way possible.
While working with the design team and/or our build team, the issue will be remedied effectively and successfully.
