It Takes a Team

It takes a team
A team of trades to build your home

Ever drive through a new community and watch the activity during home construction?
One of two things will be obvious, the congestion of trucks and vehicles up and down the main road, dumpster in driveways as well as mud and debris on both sides of the street from all of the construction traffic will make it look somewhat chaotic.
Or,…. you are drawn in to the actual building of each project. The orchestration of each worker applying their specific trade on the house. You see the construction flowing from foundation to framing and brick masons moving ahead of sheathing crew which is followed by siding crew.
It is a team effort with constant communication between project foreman and each trade throughout installation to final inspection. 
Nothing is more pleasing to thebuilder or potential home buyer than seeing teamwork during the construction of a new home. Experienced crews and a clean job site are daily requirements for professional builders that set expectations for their team.
For the project to be successful, you need experienced trades who work well together and communicate throughout entire process. Each phase of new home construction depends on logistics. Time management for each worker throughout the entire process for custom home building and controlling activity each day spent on job site is key.
Making sure that all materials are dropped the morning of that first day of that trade’s installation schedule. Monitoring conditions and adjusting on “the fly.”
It is the project foreman’s main purpose to manage the entire process of building a custom home. His/her experience and ability to foresee any and all issues that can or may arise during the timeframe.
It all comes down to the flow of each job.
From project scheduling for each trade to material drop off through each inspection to the final walk through. The project flows as smoothly as the communication.

And, if the team works as a team, the house will become a beautiful home that we can all be proud of.
