Testimonials
"Truthfulness, their ability to communicate and keep
me informed and the quality of the people they have
working for them."
"Hi Dimitry,
I just wanted to let you know that
the paint in the kitchen dried perfectly!!! I am very happy with the whole job. Please feel free to use me
as a reference. I have nothing but nice things to say about A-Z, and
you. Victor is a great builder, and has a great crew.
They are all niceguys...friendly,
funny, and very good at their jobs.
If I ever need any electrical work done, I'll call Nick. The same goes
with Luis for plumbing. And, of course if there is any
other remodeling to do, I'll call you.
I also wanted to tell
you that I like you very much as a person. You
are knowledgeable.honest, and professional, and you are also a
nice guy..easy to work with!!!"
"What kept me working comfortably
with A to Z for twelve years has been the fact that
I
can talk to them and they are responsive, they are
really concerned about my problems."
"I
was fortunate to be referred to A to Z Construction for our
project from a good friend who had a good experience with them
previously for her own bath remodel. I am happy
to refer A to Z Construction to
others!"
"We are very pleased with the quality of the work done on our
home. The project was on time, on budget, and was performed by skilled
people who cared about our home as if it was their
own."
"A to Z Construction was very easy to work with and I
was very impressed with how clean the site was maintained at all
times. Dimitry and Victor did a great job managing the project. We
chose A to Z Construction as our general contractor because we felt they
could do the project right and complete it on budget in the shortest time
possible. We made the right
choice!" |

Builders +
Designers + Creative Energy = Collaborative Solutions
Custom homes come alive-and buyers come to buy-when
good design combines with smart
construction and practical
technology.
Before picture and the proposed design
concept
Design / Build
Our approach tends to promote cooperation and
coordination among the contractor, the designer and the
Owner.
The absence of a contractor’s input into the project
design may limit the effectiveness and constructibility of the
design. Important design decisions affecting both the types of
materials specified and the means of construction should not be made
without full consideration of a construction perspective… For
example, it would typically be problematic to require that the
contractor correct problems due to design errors at no extra cost
when a contractor has little control over the cause or magnitude of
such errors. Contractor is responsible for constructing the project
in accordance with the design. The Owner generally faces exposure to
contractor claims over design and constructibility issues when the
Owner accepts liability for design
Owner, the primary benefit is the simplicity of
having one party responsible for the development of the project.
While the other systems often give rise to disputes among various
project participants—with the Owner acting as referee (or party
ultimately to blame)—in D-B, many of these disputes become internal
D-B team issues, which do not affect the Owner.
Under this system, the Owner contracts with a D-B
team, which is a joint venture of a general contractor and a
designer.
Budget and Cost Estimating: Preliminary budgets,
based on historical data for similar projects, will assist the Owner
in determining the feasibility of initial scope. More refined
estimates are developed during the design process to pinpoint the
necessary construction budget, and provide a basis of comparison to
contractor bids.
Constructibility Review: A review of design plans
and specifications will help the Owner verify that the design as
presented is clear to the contractor, poses no construction
conflicts, and is economically feasible to build.
At some point in the process, the D-B team will
usually negotiate a fixed price to complete the design and
construction of the facility. Once underway, the D-B team is then
responsible for construction of the project, and for all
coordination between design and construction. Since the construction
team is working together from the outset, D-B offers the opportunity
to save time and money
Primary consideration for the Owner is proper
selection of the D-B team; it may be difficult for the Owner to
maintain the proper balance of design expertise, financial
capability, construction experience, and experience. Owner should
strongly favor D-B teams with a successful record of accomplishment
working together on previous projects.
A to Z Construction is often most cost effective
during the planning stages of the project, since the firm provides
the careful planning and organization skill that can help prevent
costly problems during construction. Properly executed services such
as constructibility reviews and preliminary scheduling can result in
significant risk reduction and cost savings many times initial cost
in terms of limiting change orders, delays
Construction Phase: A to Z Construction provides a
variety of services during construction, including the
following:
Construction Inspection and Surveillance: All Owners
desire some type of examination of project performance on a
continuous or periodic basis to review progress, ensure compliance
with specifications and plans, and to review housekeeping and safety
issues.
Project Controls: These services are provided to
ensure that the project is efficiently and effectively managed. They
include maintenance of project correspondence, conducting progress
meetings, handling submittals and requests for information,
documentation of progress, review of pay requests, schedule reviews
and schedule updates.
Change Order Review: These services include
negotiation of change orders with the Owner, coordination with the
designer over design changes, determination of responsibility for
changed conditions or coordination conflict, and review of price and
schedule changes.
Project Closeout: Review of the project to ensure
orderly and timely completion, including development of punch lists;
monitoring of implementation, training and warranty periods;
resolution of outstanding issues; review and analysis of claims or
disputed issues.
Likelihood of Changes: If the Owner is aware that
its requirements may change considerably during the project, this
should be evaluated against the potential cost of such
changes.
Professional construction management can help Owners
in constructing the best project possible, on time and on budget.
Construction management services are highly desirable, if not
essential, to a successful project especially for Owners lacking
this expertise in house.
