About BCS - Why call..
Experience and time in construction brings clarity. The number of times I hear someone say “why don’t they just say it in plain language!”, is what birthed Build Consulting Services.
Weather it’s a minor variance application, a condition of a building permit or how to navigate a condition on site that just doesn’t match a set of plans, I have already been there. Sometimes, trying to get a carpenter, or tile setter or draftsmen to understand what you want can seem overly difficult. I have owned my own construction firm, and worked for large firms. The reality is, you need to have someone on your team that can clearly communicate expectations and answer time sensitive questions with the experience to know what is reasonable. In larger contracting companies, they have in house staff to deal with this, that is their job as project manager or developer. Not every contractor has that luxury, and if you are a homeowner tackling your own build, that’s you! Earning the money to pay for the project is likely more important then understanding fastener details for your flush beam.
Time is money in many industries, but in construction it can be everything. If you can’t get the right information to the right people, exactly when they need it, your project can easily come off the rails.
