The Superintendent on a high-end building project usually has too much to do.
This position is the hub of the job, with nearly every element of the project requiring the Super's attention.
We arrive at the job to commence work with a detailed and comprehensive grasp of the proposed finish carpentry scope, developed during our bidding process and preliminary meetings with members of the project team.
Our journeymen carpenters are veteran role players for whom the particular care and behavior required in the high end residential milieu is second-nature.
If an apprentice or helper is on hand, he or she has been fully indoctrinated in the need for heightened awareness throughout even the most mundane of tasks; to be careful, thorough, and discreet.
We often act as an intermediary between the Contractor and the Architect or Designer to help resolve design questions. An example might be an intersection of two molding profiles that do not plane into each other in an elegant way.
Using Google Sketchup to
illustrate existing situations and potential alternatives, solutions can usually be arrived at thru email interactions.
We provide our own supervision, requiring minimal oversight.
We are invested in the work, the project outcome, and the relationships of the project team.
In a variety of ways we make the Superintendent's job easier, freeing up valuable time and attention which can otherwise be put towards the steady
flow of coordination, oversight, and problem-solving that the job will
inevitably require.
