FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Bluerock prefers to work on a cost plus a fixed fee basis. That way our clients know exactly what they are getting for their money and there are no secrets. The fixed fee eliminates the incentive to increase the project cost in order to make more money. The fixed fee also means Bluerock isn’t penalized for finding creative ways to reduce costs. By being open and clear with pricing we work as a team to design a project that is attractive and fits within your budget.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Every client has a dream, a budget, and a timeline. We enjoy the process of working together to find creative ways to satisfy each of those important elements of a project, then delivering fantastic results! The process starts with a conversation at the project location where we talk about the scope of the project. We often give a budget estimate range at that time based on recent experience and historical pricing. If desired we complete a full detailed estimate which we review line by line. We work together to adjust the budget to align with the overall project goals and priorities. Once we have a budget everyone is comfortable with we sign an agreement and then a professional design is done for the purpose of submitting for a building permit and soliciting subcontractor bids. After permits are in hand and bids are received, we start the project and move things along toward completion.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
