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 the builder 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.
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 time frame.
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.
