High-speed
Construction In NY, NJ and CT |
Despite a looming credit crisis and sluggish new home construction
market, more and more luxury property owners and prospective buyers
in NY, NJ and CT are paying a lot of money to have their homes
built or remodeled in record time. Why? Life’s short and
increasing numbers of executives in the Tri-state area have enough
money to build the home they crave but little time to waste. Hinged
on the idea that wealth buys a way to make the present more pleasurable,
today’s affluent homeowners are sparing no expense to have
what they want when they want it.
For example, let’s say you’re a hedge-fund manager
and your 12-year-old daughter is already talking about college.
While you could wait the 2+ years for construction on your Hampton’s
summer home to be complete, by then she’ll be 14 and less
likely to want to spend hot July weekends with her Mom and Dad.
Why not speed things up with a high -speed renovation so your family
can enjoy it when the time is right? That way you don’t have
to waste a single summer before the nest becomes a little emptier.
All of this bodes well for the general contracting industry that
stands to capitalize on the thriving market looking for instant
gratification on their home remodeling needs. However, large-scale
projects of this size can also cause more problems than they solve.
And for the unschooled general contractor an accelerated new home
construction or home renovation in New York’s Long Island,
Bergen County NJ and Westchester NY can be a logistical nightmare.
Not only are massive numbers of rotating teams of workers needed—an
entourage of two dozen painters working seven days a week can do
the job much faster than a smaller weekday team—but a preexisting
team of designers and architects, the necessary supply, and a precise
understanding of staging on the part of the general contractor
are absolutely imperative to making this happen smoothly. Add to
that the local zoning laws and paperwork and you have a major project
that needs to be managed with care.
The Importance of Precise Staging
To understand why staging is so essential just imagine what would
happen if your Japanese Toto automated toilet didn’t arrive
the day it was scheduled for installation? The delay in installation
would have a significant impact on final painting and adjacent
tile work, which would in turn slow the entire project. Multiply
this circumstance by each element in each room of your new home
and you can quickly see why it’s necessary to order items
like toilets, tubs, sinks, tiles and other flooring at just the
right time so they arrive exactly when they’re needed and
in the right order. This is why project management and coordination
are the key to high speed renovation success.
A Well-Oiled Machine
A large team of designers, architects, painters, plumbers, electricians,
roofers, woodworkers and tile workers will only be able to complete
an accelerated home construction or renovation without compromising
on quality if they’re already used to working together. That’s
why for a rapid new home construction or renovation it’s
a good idea to go with a one-stop home renovation construction
team that has a relatively established workflow. Hiring a team
without the experience in all aspects of this process can result
in project delays, or shoddy, unprofessional craftsmanship. Neither
of which you want given the price of accelerated high-end building
which can be as high as a 20% mark up from standard pricing.
Nothing Happens Without Good Supply
It goes without saying that in order for all of this to happen,
your new construction team has to have quick and easy access to
the products and materials they’ll need while rapidly building
your luxury home in New York, New Jersey or Connecticut. Your contractor
will need to have an intimate relationship with suppliers and manufactures
in order to guarantee quick and reliable delivery. Keeping all
of your deliverables safe is a concern as well, since if one item
arrives either broken or with even one crucial item missing the
whole rapid renovation process can be defeated by untimely delays.
