At Jeff King & Company we look on every project as a process of collaboration. And that process involves building not only your home but also a long-term relationship with you.

This process is based on the same principles we apply to all our work. It’s focused and streamlined, but it’s also detailed, meticulous and beautifully effective.

The first thing we do is meet with you so that we can get to know you and understand your vision for your home. At this stage we can offer you a referral to an architect or other design professional if you need one, and we’re also happy to provide a list of past clients for you to talk to.

1) The Design Phase

Once we know the scope of work, we figure out what your project is likely to cost and give you a preliminary estimate. It’s worth mentioning here that our pricing policy is based on offering negotiated rather than competitive bids. That’s because while we recognize price is a very important consideration, the value we bring to your project is defined by more that just the cost of the work.

Once you accept our Preliminary Estimate we sign a Preconstruction Agreement which secures your project in our schedule and lets us start taking part in design meetings to provide value engineering services related to construction methods, materials and scheduling. Finally, everything culminates in a Final Estimate and Construction Contract based on complete plans and specifications for your project.

2) Construction Phase

Once we’re ready to start work on your project we assign you a Project Manager. Their job is to keep your project running smoothly and to communicate clearly with you throughout the construction process. Your project manager is assisted by the production manager, who will be responsible for overseeing all production on your project. Both your Project and Production Managers are Certified Green Building Professionals. Every week this team will meet with you and your architect on site to ensure everything is going as planned and to address any concerns you have.

Because we’re experienced professionals dedicated to efficiency and superior craftsmanship we use only the finest local craftsmen as subcontractors. We provide them with clear contractual agreements and daily on-site coordination and supervision to ensure the quality and efficiency of their performance.

Finally, the excellent work of our field staff and subcontractors is supported by clear operating procedures company-wide, comprehensive accounting, and the application of sound business practices at every level of the company.

3) Post-Construction Phase

Just because your home is finished doesn’t mean our relationship is. We will provide you with a manual containing all manufacturer’s warranties and maintenance and care guidelines for all new installations. And, most importantly, well after your project is completed Jeff King & Company will be there for you. We have confidence in the quality of our work so you can rest assured that we’ll be available to ensure your continued satisfaction with your beautiful new home.
