Planning to do some work yourself or hire out to contractors?
There is a certain amount of knowledge you will need for your project, such as understanding codes/permits, construction materials, hiring contractors, and of course the how-to for a particular task.
Codes and Permits:
Many local and state regulations require permits for structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work. Parting Construction, a licensed contractor, understands these requirements and will assist you in handling the paperwork to prevent legal issues, fines, or project delays.
Building codes exist to protect homeowners, workers, and future occupants. Parting Construction will guide you through understanding the safety standards in order to reduce the risk of structural failures, or costly repairs down if the job is not done correctly the first time.
Construction Materials: You will also need to procure the right quality materials, arrange delivery, and properly storing supplies. Parting Construction can advise you the right products for you job, perform estimates on the cost, and assist in deliverying material to the job site. The wrong material will be a recipe for disaster down the line.
Hiring Contractors: It’s critical to choose the right subcontractors with a solid reputation within your area. The right subcontractor will ensure deadlines are met and the budget is on target. Selecting the wrong subcontractor for the task will lead to costly redo's, possible structual errors, sloopy workmanship, and failing inspections. Parting Construction holds a strong reputation within the contracting communication, and can assist in putting you in contact with the right subcontractor for the right job.
How To: The most important part of the job is doing it right. Deciding to act as your own general contractor, or taking a hands on approach can have many benefits, such as reducing your out of pocket cost, working to your timeline, giving you personal control of the job, but most importantly, it can be enjoyable. However, when you come up against a task that requires the right knowledge, skill and experience, having a contractor at your disposal can be invaluable. Parting Contruction will guide you step by step to completing a task properly. Ensuring you have the right expectation going in, understanding the requirements of the job, and setting you up for success.
