The Streamline Difference – Arete!
Years in the industry has taught us that all our clients are experiencing similar issues dealing with contractors. We’ve learned that most of their frustrations stem from the following three-issues:
- Additional costs during construction, due to an old industry practice to bid low and win the job.
- Contractors not doing what they say they’re going to do, forcing you to handle the problem yourself.
- A lack of communication throughout the construction process, leaving you vulnerable to delays.
Well, we listened and at Streamline Builders we’ve developed the following solutions:
1. Up-front, Actual Costs: we believe it is our fiduciary responsibility to provide you with up-front, actual costs of what it will take to build your project. We do so by interpreting and pricing the incomplete information on your plans. This additional information allows you to make informative decisions to value-engineer your budget down or reallocate your funds elsewhere to ensure they will render a positive return on investment. See our Bid-Presentation Binder for your next project.
2. Pain-Point Process: allows us to quickly identify and creatively solve your problems as they arise, allowing you to do what you do best…get more deals! Our team-oriented customer service surges during construction to ensure you and your organization are not bothered with day-to-day issues.
3. Proactive Communication: the exchange of information is the single most important key to success. We proactively communicate with the latest technology keeping you informed of all changes, solutions, and victories. Differences that positively impact your return on investment.
