Working with us is easy, because communications are always clear.

When you work with Below Construction, here's what you can always expect:

1. EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALISM:

Our craftmanship is top of the line; but what we believe most sets us apart is our client-based work ethic, and the resulting client service.

2. CLIENT-FRIENDLY DOCUMENTS:

Our construction documents are detailed, clear, complete and easy to follow, as professionalism in construction is not solely a matter of superior mechanical skills. Organization and appropriate documentation are important as well.

3. COMPUTERIZED COSTS ON SPREADSHEETS:

All costs are tabulated on computerized spreadsheeds so you have easy access to itemized costs at every stage of negotiation. These breakdowns make it easy to see the specific cost of each construction element. See the Cost Breakdown Sheet in our documentation section.

4. ACCESSIBILITY:

Our employees are friendly, knowedgeable, and always available to answer any questions you may have at any stage. You have direct access to the owner and president of the corporation. Mr. Below is on site DAILY, and available for consultation with the owner and/or architect at any time.

5. TIMELINESS:

We know from years of experience how important deadlines are. Our clients will attest to our ability to stay on schedule.

6. JOB SITE INNOVATIONS:

Our efficiencies come from sound administrative, organizational, and communication innovations and policies. Our lead carpenters, for instance, have computer access to a job site folder in which all information for the job is available, updated and stored. Lead carpenters work from computer-generated cut lists, so priorities are well ordered and followed.

7. SPECIAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH SUBCONTRACTORS:

Our subs are simply exceptional. We don't "shop" them as other contractors do. Instead, we build relationships which involve a keener understanding of each other's differing areas of expertise, and how they relate to the success of the project. We've been teaming with some of our subs for more than fifteen years.

8. CLEANLINESS:

We know that remodeling and construction is often disruptive and dirty. To combat this inconvenience, we map out a cleanliness strategy for each job, and among other things, clean each site DAILY.

9. CREATIVITY:

We have been in construction long enough to know that no one can quarantee that no problems will arise during the course of your project. But we can guarantee that if problems arise, we will work with you closely to solve them in creative, innovative, and cost-effective ways.

10. FLEXIBILITY AND PATIENCE:

We have the flexibility to try new solutiuons, and the patience to focus on the details. These two characteristics can account for unexpected benefits to nearly every project. Which is why we promote a flexible "give and take" relationship with every owner and architect, and strive to attain the very best solutions for the project as a whole.

11. VALUES:

We seek clients who share our values -- of fairness, mutual respect, honesty, and commitment to the success of the project.

12. ATTITUDES:

We hire attitudes, and look for clients who do the same.
