## About

### Houzz Badges

- 500 Ideabook Saves

Welcome!  For over 29 years EvB General Contractor has been committed to the high quality, cost efficient and green standards that customers have come to expect today.  Whether your project is large or small, EvB will give you the attention you deserve. 

 Well organized with good communication and a strong work ethic EvB gives his customers maximum value for their construction budget.  If you are considering a construction project, contact us for a consultation.

The following is an outline of the consulting services that we offer at the pre construction phase of a project:

1\. Attend an initial site meeting at the project with the owner and Architect/Engineer. At this meeting I listen to what is being proposed by the owner and make general recommendations regarding the approach to take from a construction cost viewpoint. 

2\. Review the preliminary plans from theArchitect/Engineer and make value engineering recommendations that affect the construction cost. Because of my 28 years of construction experience, I can make practical recommendations that will significantly reduce construction costs, while getting the maximum value for the amount invested. 

3\. Provide the owner with estimates of construction cost based on the preliminary drawings. 

The goal in doing this consulting work is to use my expertise as a counter force pushing against construction costs, as they tend to rise during plan development. It has been my experience that owners who have this consulting done get more value for their money and a better design. For these services I charge$75 per hour. 

Once the plans and specifications are complete and if the owner decides to hire me, I will provide the owner with a proposal to do the work on either a negotiated or competitive bid basis.

If you already have plans and specifications, I can provide you with a bid, without obligation, provided that:
-Plans and specifications are complete.
\- A bid date is set for all bids to be submitted.
\- The Architect reviews all bids for consistency and completeness.
\- A contract is awarded to the lowest qualified bidder.

I hope this information is helpful and I look forward to working with you.

His paperwork is impeccable and timely.  He solves problems, keeps to a schedule and is totally reliable.  I recommend him highly.
