During this phase we’ll get acquainted to see if we are a fit for each other. Since this document is being read, that process is already underway. Your vision will be discussed in elaborate detail to ensure we understand what’s expected. A budget will be established in relation to your specific needs. Alternative options may be considered at this time. We will explain how payments to us work. We’ll talk about your schedule, your role in the project, and what’s to be expected from us. We pride ourselves in being transparent and informing you of any potential disruptions that could a„ffect your operations. We aim to supply you with as much useful information to help you understand not only who we are but also how projects like yours work.

Prior to entering into a Construction Agreement together we have pre-construction processes for which there will be fees. These fees are separate from the construction contract. These pre-construction processes will be handled with what is called a Pre-Construction Services Agreement or PSA. The PSA includes developing the project scope together and/or with your other design professionals, specifications, selections and doing a detailed estimate that assures you a quality, completed project at an agreed upon price. The PSA will usually cover some design services or consultations with designers, architects, engineers, etc., preconstruction planning, project development, and sometimes some demolition and discovery work, if required to create a guaranteed project price for you. The PSA does not obligate you to enter into a Construction Agreement with us and you own the results of the Pre-Construction and Project Development work covered by the PSA.

With all or most of the results of the PSA work in hand we will meet and talk through the project. Sandoval Contracting will take the time needed to ensure you feel confident and satisfied with the goals discussed. The scope of work, project plan, progress payments, timelines, logistics and concerns will be discussed. You will meet the Sandoval Contracting team and discuss how communications are best handled.

At this point we will have all the required information to provide a comprehensive bid for the project, and documents will be signed o„ on the design and production plan. You’ve met your project manager and know who will be doing what and when. An Agreement for our mutual signatures will be provided. We will go over and explain every deal of our straightforward Construction Agreement.
