DESIGN BUILD
The most minimal project risk and best paced for an owner, is having Sky Projects be directly responsible for the construction and design work under one Agreement. Sky Projects will be involved from the conceptual to completion, developing the project in Architecture and Construction simultaneously. There are times that construction can begin before design is fully completed. This agreement is based on a Lump Sum Amount. There are much less change orders in this process, than the traditional Owner, Architect, Contractor agreement. Engineering of a project with the Contractor’s point of view, from commencing design, allows the project to be crafted in a way that suits the budget, and eliminates the Contractor bidding process, and full development of Construction Documents
GENERAL CONTRACT SERVICES
What is General Contracting? A general contractor is an individual or an organization that contracts to another individual or an organization for the management and completion of a project as contractually agreed upon. The general contractor is responsible for the execution, supervision, progress and completion of the project. The general contractor may carry out certain construction stages of the contract, for example concrete and framing. The general contractor generally contracts specific parts of the projects to qualified specialist for certain aspects of the contract, such as plumbing or electrical (subcontractors). The general contractor acts on the best interest of the owner and is responsible for the project, ensuring that the job is carried out within the scheduled parameters (budget, time lines). The owners main line of communication for the project is with the general contractor.
Hiring a general contractor such as Sky Projects Ltd, with over 20 years of experience and professional expertise in the field of construction, gives you peace of mind that your investment is secure.
Other Services Offered:
Interior design
The importance of interior design is often looked over by builders and contractors looking to save a dollar. From our experiences we know how important interior design is to home building. In the long run it can mean adding extensive value to your home. Interior designs are artists and visionaries. They have the ability to understand and piece together a variety of colours and designs to create an aesthetic and appealing work of art that can stand the test of time. Our in house interior designers will provide you with not just their expert design opinions, but also product procurement through various suppliers and vendors, to source out the best products at the best prices.
Quality Assurance
When a second opinion is required, or a review on a Contractor already performing work, Sky Projects can check the quality. These can be one day reviews, or several random visits, or for the duration of an entire project. Sometimes the Owner is not available to tend to the job as often as they would like. Sky Projects visits the project, and in an informative manner, only to help the project progress, will evaluate the quality of the work being performed and give recommendations to the Owner
