How We Work

A typical construction project at Karkela follows some basic process steps.

Design Evaluation Meeting - A Project Manager from Karkela will meet with you listen to your ideas and your vision and to determine the proper steps in proceeding with your project.

Creating The Team - A typical remodeling project often requires that an architect be consulted to develop a unique and creative design.  The sub-contractors that Karkela entrusts with your project will also be identified and briefed on the critical and routine aspects of your project.  For new "design and build" construction projects, Karkela Construction will frequently assemble a solutions team that may include a real estate agent, architect, equipment supply agent, financier, as well as other sub-contractors.

Bid Presentation - If your construction project appears feasible, the bid prepared by Karkela Construction will identify projected start and finish dates, the project manager and site superintendent assigned to your project, and the costs for time and materials needed to complete your project.  A typical bid will also include information about your responsibilities which vary depending on the size and scope of your project.

Value Engineering - Karkela Construction actively practices a Value Engineering approach to project management.  At it's core, Value Engineering is a process of continuous evaluation and questioning each aspect of the project to determine if alternative materials, techniques, or processes can be utilized to save our clients time and money.  The sample projects available from the "Learn More" menu at the top of this page provide some examples of how Karkela Construction practices Value Engineering.

Project Communication - You should know what is happening with your project at all times.  Period.  At Karkela Construction, our Project Managers ensure that an open line of communication exists and that you are given advance notice of any project challenges as well as regular updates on your project's progress.
