We are proficient in scheduling and managing your projects to stay on time and on budget. Our crew has managed over 1billion dollars in projects either for other companies or ourselves. You can count on us with whatever your needs may be. Architectural design and engineering are available through a design contract as well with certified professionals that we use and can count on. We have a rough estimate, this is based on previous experience and rough numbers. If this number is within our clients expectations and budget then we provide a design contract with a small deposit. This deposit will be used towards the final balance of the project in the last payment. During this phase we will assist the client with permits, assign a engineer and/or architect if needed, go over material pricing and selections, have trade walkthroughs if viable or send prints to trades for all new construction and ensure the lowest possible price by providing these activities to at least three different companies of each trade and getting three separate prices for each scope of work. We will then provide in a in person meeting a Final Estimate, contract and deposit invoice based on a percentage of the project to cover any upfront material costs. If any adjustments need to be made or changes in material or scope of work this will be completed and we will meet a second time. If all is agreed upon the documents will be signed and permits will be picked up if ready. I have a degree in engineering and have been in the trades for 12 years and have reached journeyman carpenter status and have been managing projects for 6 years. All of my employees with exception of laborers have been in their respective fields for a minimum of 5 years. Because all of our work is custom there is no standard pricing to list out.I started in the trades with my father who owns a General Contracting Buisness. I then moved on to building hotels as a carpenter and eventually finished my degree in engineering and designed movie theaters. I eventually switched back to managing and then starting my own company knowing I had the knowledge, expertise, resources and contacts to do so.

Some companies may require a 10% deposit, some may not require any. For larger projects, you'll almost always need to give a deposit, and it's good to ask how much the deposit will be before going forward with a project. The Spring Grove contractor will know how much they need for a deposit when they've given you the estimate, so ask early.
This is very important, since an estimate is just that. Many contractors will submit a "paper estimate", meaning they've written the estimate down on paper. The bill is the true amount owed and will almost always say "Invoice" or "Bill" at the top of the page. The bill should also list the date it was issued, the due date of payment, and a list of services rendered.
You'll certainly want to ask them this. Steer clear of any company that is not insured in Illinois, because that means that any incidental damage they may do on your property will be a real hassle to recover compensation for. It is never wise to work with uninsured tradesmen of any kind. Most states also require that someone have insurance in order to be issued a trade license. If they say they're licensed but not insured, they're being less than truthful.
The question is great for some industries and non-applicable for others. A general contractor, for example, will by definition employ subcontractors. Most Spring Grove Additions and Remodels companies do not, but there are exceptions. You should always ask this question to your service providers. If they do use subcontractors, ask if they're all licensed and insured independently.
This is important mostly for larger jobs. Clearly a two man operation is going to build a home much slower than a 15 man crew. This is also a good indication of the overall size of the Additions and Remodels company, if that's an area of concern for you. The reason you may want to ask about the fleet is that fleet size is a good indicator of the mobility of the company. Mobility may not sound important, but it's hard for the Spring Grove contractors to get to job sites if they lack appropriate vehicles.
