Construction Tips to Get You Going

Beginning any construction project can be overwhelming. Candlas Constructors will be there with you every step of the way, from start to finish. Here are a few tips to help you get started.

MAKE A LIST

When thinking about a final project it is easy to forget about the little things. Make a list of everything you want to include in your project scope. Look online for photos of similar projects that might inspire you to include things you have not thought of. Then, once your list is complete, assign a budget for each item. You can go through this with your contractor so they will better understand your vision and can confirm or update pricing right from the beginning.

BE CLEAR ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT

Preparing a list also helps you communicate exactly what you want to your contractor. Remember, this is your vision and that is why it needs to be clearly communicated to your contractor so there is no room for error. Once your have done this it is important for your contractor to take the information away and to incorporate into a proposal so you can ensure that you are both on the same page so you project is more seamless which will further drive efficiencies and a better end product that you are proud of.

CHECK REFERENCES
