Benefits

There are many benefits to building your home using our project management services and they all lead to the same results – a better built home at a better price! Here are just a few of the salient benefits to consider.

Eliminate General Contractor Profits
In a managed project, the general contractor or builder is eliminated from the process. This eliminates the substantial profit they make on every piece of material – from 2x4’s to air conditioners.

Reduce Labour Costs
You sign all contracts and pay all sub-contractors and suppliers directly. Contractor mark-up is eliminated, and in addition, our tendering system ensures that only the best trades at the best possible prices are invited to quote on your project.

Get a Better Built Home
In builder projects, trades are paid to get the job done on time above all else as no one gets paid until the mortgage funds are released. This has a direct impact on production quality and workmanship. It’s not that the trades are necessarily bad, it’s that the process conspires against top notch workmanship, quality, and attention to detail. This is eliminated with our systems as all trades are given the time to do the job right.

Get The Facts – All of Them. And see Where Every Penny is Going.
Our system fully exposes all costs, and we provide tools for you such as Gantt charts and electronic budgeting toolkits so that you can run your own “what-if” scenarios and do analyses in as much depth as you wish. Our open-book budgeting system shows you clearly where very dollar is being spent, where savings can be achieved, and how.

Benefit From Our 20+ Years of Experience
We know where you need screws instead of nails. We know who does the best work and where. We know how to work things to meet difficult schedules or budgets. And we have much to offer in all fields that are ancillary to the construction process – financial planning, landscaping, working with lenders, architectural design, materials planning.

You Reap The Savings
If a job comes under budget, you get to see the results and reap the benefits directly. You also have the opportunity to adjust during the process as this is not cookie-cutter construction. In a managed project all costs are exposed at all times.

You Choose Who Enters Your Home
Using our database of over 1,000 trades and suppliers, you get to analyze each trade directly in terms of price, warranty, reputation, quality and workmanship. You choose who gets your business, from carpenters to electricians to heating systems
