Washburn Construction in New Bedford, MA

9/18/2015

Comments

 
We have dealt with Dan Washburn from Washburn Construction on our Featured Residential project in East Freetown, MA. As well as a long-time friend, Dan has the industry experience and quality of craftsmanship that you really look for in a good general contractor.

Make no mistake about it, one of the most important aspects to any new construction or remodel is who you select for your contractor. You should never base your selection off price alone. As the old saying goings "you get what you pay for"

We've worked with several local contractors in the Southern Massachusetts area since starting our firm, which you can find out more About Us. Quality, Service, Craftsmanship, Price, Responsiveness and Reliability are just a few pieces to the puzzle that should be considered when interviewing and selecting your general contractor.

REAL QUALITY GENERAL CONTRACTING

One thing we relied on during the construction of the new home in East Freetown was Dan's ability to bring a creative and experienced eye to the design during construction. At the time we had yet to transition over to working on 8TFive Studio projects full-time and therefore only had spare time enough to develop the concepts, layout and overall design development. But construction detailing we left open for collaboration during the construction process and Washburn Construction delivered.

One example was the second floor bathroom. During construction we realized the layout would need to be altered. Well after a few on-site visits to workout the possibilities we developed a plan together that would ultimately work well.

Dan was always available by phone and willing to assist in any questions post-occupancy.

The level of service in your general contractor is equally as important as the quality of work.

The last thing you want and we've heard stories, is a general contractor starting a job and not finishing it. Better yet, finishing it but not following up on ensuring the quality of the work performed on your project.

Who wants a leaky roof on an addition you just paid to have constructed? Some contractors might give you the run around to fix it.

​Hence, the early selection process is key.

MAKE SURE YOU SELECT THE RIGHT CONTRACTOR

One aspect to the Services we provide, as well as other architects, is assisting you in interviewing, making recommendations and even being by your side during the bidding and negotiations.

The design and drafting part of the project is the less stressful and more exciting phase. During construction you'll run into the unknown variables for what exists in the walls and floors.

You can also expect delays from city approvals, material shipments, subcontractor scheduling, and several more regardless of who your general contractor is.

But ensuring you select the right one for your project is important to your satisfaction and hopefully stress-free construction process. Washburn Construction is one we would happily refer you to.
