Improving Your Construction "Process" - and Outcome

We’ve all heard horror stories about construction projects gone wrong; projects that seem to go through spits and sputters during building, a lack of attention to fine, important details and exorbitant cost overruns.

Besides the obvious skills and experience required, what’s the difference between a satisfying project and one with problems? It can be summed up in one word: “Process”.

From start to finish, construction should involve a well-scripted process, like a well-choreographed dance. This starts with an involvement in the early design or architectural phase and sees you through to the end goal of completion. The importance of this cohesive understanding cannot be overstated. Having a contractor who can:

1. Grasp your vision early on,
2. Understand budget requirements,
3. Offer input into the feasibility of design and construction elements,
4. Line up necessary skills and trades people with production-line efficiency,

…and be as concerned about the small details as they are the big ones gives you the ultimate satisfaction advantage. Having a time-tested process speeds completion, keeps you on budget, provides you one knowledgeable contact person for when you have questions and, ultimately, delivers the dream of what you had in mind from the beginning.

“Process”, regardless of the size of your project, is what sets amateur general contractor services apart from those delivered by experts. Many can talk it; few can walk it as well as Porter Construction. It is something we’re proud to have perfected in our almost 40 years of experience.
