PHASE 1: SQUARE FOOT ANALYSIS
Site Evaluation and Building Cost Budget
It makes sense to determine the feasibility of a project prior to implementation. It’s logical, yes. But it’s not the usual practice.
At HCI it’s not only the usual practice, it’s our promise, and it’s free. We address, and substantiate the feasibility and constructability of your project, prior to, and throughout our Design/Build process.
Even before you commit to us, we’ll answer two crucial questions for you.
1. Is your site suitable for your desire structure?
Our Site Evaluation includes: zoning regulations, land use designation, utility Costs, topography and historical records.
2. What is your structure going to cost?
Our Comprehensive Square-Foot Analysis includes: detailed per-spuare-foot cost budget, land evaluation costs, and evaluation of future growth costs.
PHASE 2: THE DESIGN/BUILD AGREEMENT
Project Coordination
The completion of your new structure requires the expertise of designers, engineers, construction specialists, and subcontractors… but the only company you need to contact is Hammers Construction, Inc.
With our unique Design/Build method, HCI takes responsibility for your entire project from concept to finish. Excelling in the area of project coordination, resource efficiency and risk management, we create, guide, and supervise the team chosen for your specific project. And although the final outcome of your building project is in our hands, you are in complete control throughout the process.
The Design/Build Agreement is a short, easy to understand agreement that incorporates all phases, entities, and services needed to complete your custom project.
Your Design/Build Agreement includes:
Detailed site information, site plan, development plan, floor plan, elevations, sections, preliminary landscape plan, full set of building specifications, construction costs and the contact for construction.
PHASE 3: THE SERVICE AGREEMENT
Special Services
Although comprehensive, sometimes the specifications of the Design/Build Agreement aren’t quite enough, particularly when special services are necessary for a project. You may require a more precise bid. That’s when the HCI Service Agreement comes in. When your job involves specific studies and additional engineering reports prior to construction, we provide you the solid numbers you want. It’s specific and accurate.
The Service Agreement may include:
Soils Reports, phase 1 requirements, zoning requirements, site replatting, geohazard reports, drainage report and plan, traffic study.
Together, we decide upon the essential services for your project – up front. The Service Agreement enhances your Desingn/Build Agreement so that you know the full scope of your project, down to the penny. Don’t expect to find that promise anywhere else. With your HCI Service Agreement in hand, speculation becomes a certainty.
PHASE 4: FULL CONSTRUCTION
Project Management
Once feasibility has been determined and the Construction Contract signed, the HCI team begins full construction. During this phase, you are assigned a single Project Manager to act as your liaison among all the project participants, eliminating the typical administrative burdens you would encounter in the course of more conventional building processes.
We desire to save you time, money, and headaches in all the phases of your project. We know these goals are realistic only with the best quality controls in place.
At HCI, we realize that during the construction of your new building you have a business to run – and you don’t have the time or desire to deal with the hassles associated with the construction process. So, leave the worrying to us, and know that in the end, you will have a quality building… done right, on time, within budget.
