FAQs
-
The budget and a reasonable time frame are stated in the contract, which is signed by all parties with copies provided before break ground or start any project. There are unforeseen circumstances, like hitting rock or ground water, but check with our references and you can see for yourself if it's not due to nature or outside forces, we do what we say, when we say.
-
Our payment structure is clearly outlined in the contract, aligning with project progress and a specified completion date. Typically, we initiate the process with a deposit for materials, and subsequent payments are pre-determined in advance. As the work reaches specific milestones, corresponding pre-determined payments are made, with the final payment becoming due upon the project's successful completion.
-
A few key questions to ask could be:
"How long have you been in business?"
"Have you ever done a project like this one, if so, tell me about it?"
"Do you have insurance?"
"Who does the work; you, your employees, or is the project completely done by sub-contractors?"
With years of experience under our belts, GL Construction is happy to provide all of these answers and references if needed.
-
Depending on your location and what is being done, a permit might be required or it may not. If a permit is required for your project, we will obtain the permit, handle all inspections, make sure everything is built to code, and that the project and process satisfy all requirements to the letter of the law. If a permit is not required, we don’t change any of our building practices, and the house is still fully covered by the National Home Warranty.
-
Important materials are specified in the contract. All materials are covered, however, as substitutions are sometimes unavoidable (lots of bricks run out, for example, colors of materials are sometimes no longer made), we make it clear that an equal substitution will be made but only upon your approval. For items such as lighting fixtures or doorknobs that you have not chosen when the contract is signed, a budget is determined in the contract to cover exactly what will be spent on them.
-
A change order is a written statement signed by the customer authorizing the contractor to do additional work not included in the original contract. The change order should be signed before the additional work is started, but often it is not in order to keep the project moving. The amount specified is due when the project is completed. A change order also may be written when a contractor comes across any unforeseen damage or problem.
