OUR PROCESS PRECO NS TRUC TI O N : FORMING T HE PL AN

Our Preconstruction Team is the most accurate in the mountain region. They use innovative technology to give our clients detailed estimates, design analysis and schedules.

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN We will provide a thorough site analysis and early pricing models to check the feasibility of the project and its budget.

SCHEMATIC DESIGN

With an understanding of the overall project objectives, we will start to build a detailed estimate, introduce sustainable and innovative elements, and help the team develop a sequencing plan for design, procurement, and construction.

VALUE ENGINEERING & COST SAVINGS

We provide alternatives for reducing the cost without compromising the qualit y of your project.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

To review the design at each phase, we use three-dimensional digital models, acquire accurate digital take-offs, and engage trade partners for feedback. We use software to resolve any conflicts in the design.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION

At this phase we finalize the estimate and schedule, confirm quantities, calculate cash flow requirements, recommend trade partners, and secure approvals.

TRANSITION

The team will be fully integrated as we move into the construction phase of your home. The most qualified trade partners will be chosen, contracts will be written, and construction will start.

C O N S T R U C T I O N : E X E C U T I N G T H E PL A N PERMITTING & APPROVALS

Before starting the physical work on your project, RA Nelson will ensure all permits, approvals, notifications, and signage are either in place or in process. This includes identifying underground utility locations before any digging starts.

COST CONTROL

RA Nelson actively manages your construction budget and controls cost with real-time budgetar y tools, monthly cost-to-complete analyses, and a comprehensive understanding of the design.

COMMUNICATION

Owner, Architect, Contractor meetings (OAC) convene weekly to ensure everyone understands where we are in the construction process and budget. A weekly trade partners meeting takes place on-site as well. Both meetings are documented and distributed so that those unable to attend can stay up to speed.

SCHEDULE

The detailed schedule created in the preconstruction phase is reviewed and updated on a weekly basis throughout construction.

QUALITY CONTROL

RA Nelson has a strong reputation for its quality control program. We thoroughly review each assembly and review the report with all crew members. For key assemblies, mock-ups are done in advance to train the team and head off any potential issues, and the manufacturer’s technical specialist may be brought on site to review best practices. During construction, we utilize a sophisticated mobile reporting system to record field observations and provide photo documentation of the entire project. This keeps us in step with trade partners and allows us to identify and correct deficiencies and avoid costly rework and schedule delays.

SAFETY

RA Nelson has developed an award-winning safety program with a dedicated Safety Manager on staff. We create a Safety & Health Management Program for each project and require all trade partners to go through a site-specific safety training program. We conduct weekly safety inspections and Toolbox Talks.

INSPECTIONS

RA Nelson is responsible for coordinating building inspections with the relevant authorities. We are also here to help with any other inspections or approvals that your property may require.

POST-CONSTRUCTION: STANDING BY OUR WORK OWNER ORIENTATION

We want you, or a representative of your choice, to know your new home as well as we do. RA Nelson will spend whatever time is required to make sure this happens.

OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE MANUAL

RA Nelson will provide you with an O&M manual specific to your home upon its completion. The manual outlines your project’s care and maintenance schedules and procedures, specifications, as-built drawings, warranty information and important contact lists.

WARRANTY

If warranty items arise, RA Nelson will be there for you – guaranteed. We are proud of the homes that we build and maintain relationships with our clients for life.

PHQ PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

For our custom home clients, RA Nelson’s PHQ property management division can provide the management and maintenance of your property, carrying our expertise from the building process into the long-term care of the home. This ensures optimal building performance, health, and efficiency of the building for years to come. 5
