APPROACH
AT6’s construction team gets the rewarding task of taking your project from drawing to reality. As licensed general contractors who specialize in residential remodels, AT6 provides staff and manages a team of high-quality subcontractors to build your project with professionalism and integrity. Because our construction team has been involved with the project since early in the design phase, it is familiar with the project and ready to build as soon as design is finished. Check out our Architecture page to learn more about our design process.
While your remodel project is working its way through our design process, our construction team is engaged in making sure the cost estimates are updated every time there is a substantive design change made. This includes how the design change affects constructability, schedule, and cost.
With our in-house construction team literally at the desks next to them, our designers have an easy resource to confirm the most efficient way to design something so it is easy to build. For most residential construction companies, value engineering is a phase, but for us it happens naturally at every step of the process.
One big advantage of the design build model is that we can put you on our construction calendar at the beginning of design and work backwards from that start date by setting key milestones to make sure we stay on track. This can take months off a project timeline when you compare to the process of completing the design, sending the drawings out to contractors, and hoping they have openings in their schedules.
One of the differences between residential construction and commercial is that residential construction has more fluidity once we start building. Especially with home remodels, clients often change their minds as they see the project develop, or underlying conditions are exposed that force us to change course. Homeowners are also busy with their own jobs and lives and have limited bandwidth to deal with these changes.
We are committed to providing our clients a thoroughly managed construction process with excellent communication. We leverage technology that allows our clients to be engaged with the project details from the convenience of their phone. This commitment enables us to anticipate issues and solve them without major interruptions to the construction process.
We believe specialists do higher-quality work than generalists and use our longstanding relationships with high-quality subcontractors, fabricators, and vendors to ensure our projects have a high level of craftsmanship. Our in-house project managers and superintendents provide oversight and quality control.
