Next Steps

Experience the Gotes Construction Difference:

You have probably already done some dreaming and planning for your new construction project:
With Gotes Construction, you will know what to expect every step of the way. You’ll need as many photographs as possible for your consultation. You do not need architectural plans and/or a designer.  We have a professional team that can create a plan to fit your project needs, style and budget. We aim to make the construction experience as comfortable as possible without unexpected costs or delays.

What’s Next?

Phone Conversation:

We need to know a few things which will help us in determining if Gotes Construction is the appropriate contractor for your construction needs, such as: When you would like your project to begin and what is your estimated budget?  We will provide you with a proposal based on your construction ideas.  Please contact us on (202) 286-4108 or via e-mail at j.uweh@yahoo.com to get your project started.

In-Home Meeting:

Gotes Construction project leaders meet with you to discuss, in detail the scope of your project and your goals. The meeting takes approximately 1-2 hours and there is no cost to you and no obligation.  At that time we may take site measurements and photos and that would be a good time to ask questions about how the construction process works.

Proposal/Bid:

Gotes Construction utilizes your ideas and specifications taken from the in-home visit to prepare a written proposal with recommendations and outlining any options available to you for your particular project. This is our formal bid for your construction project with a timeline and budget to meet your goals.

Selection/Pre-Construction:

Upon selection of Gotes Construction as your contractor, we assign a project leader to review the work plan with you, from project timeline to budget constraints to enable you know what to expect and once your plans are approved, the next step would be to enter into a construction contract so that the actual work can begin. The contract describes the scope of the job, including the dates for the start of the project, completion date, the cost of the job and a list of specific materials to be used ( i.e., quantity, color, size, quality, brand name, etc.).  The contract will include payment arrangements and conditions for final payment.

Construction:

Communication is the key to completing a quality, on time project to your specifications. At Gotes Construction, you will receive individual attention from start to finish. The beginning of construction starts after an on-site walk through of the area to be remolded to conform to the details of the project. Items covered includes: identifying areas that need to be cleared or protected, approved hours of construction, home security, and the need for temporary facilities for kitchen and bath functions when remodeling begins.Protective covers to flooring and plastic barriers are always installed to minimize any inconveniences of construction. A clean job site is a safe job site, not only for workers but also for the homeowners; Gotes Construction will ensure your project is clean on a daily basis as well as at the completion of your project.

Change Orders:

Change orders can arise simply at the clients’ discretion. Any change(s) to the scope of your project should be given to the project leader in the form of a written communication within a specific timeframe. Change orders are considered addendums to the construction contract, which may change the original price quote in the contract and may affect the project completion date.

Post Construction:

When your project nears completion, the project leader conducts a walk-through with you to identify any outstanding items and then a final checklist is compiled and reviewed with you. Once all items on this final checklist have been completed both parties will sign off on the closing contract.  At this time we may ask for your permission to take photographs to be showcased on our website.We are proud of our finished projects and we rely on our clients referrals. Thank you for taking the time to review our construction process. We hope it has helped you visualize your construction project.  Please contact us on (202) 286-4108 or via e-mail  at j.uweh@yahoo.com to get your project started.
