Honorato Construction Management |
It wasn't a total surprise to see our past client had some of these issues given how the project was carried out, but we always try to serve in any way we can so we worked with her through-out all of these issues.
1. DOOR FRAMES
- We did in-fact frame the doors for our clients as specified. When they got to the finishes stage they hired Home Depot to come out to measure the doors and install them as well. Home Depot wanted to sell her just about every door as a special ordered door. When she let me know I asked my father, our Site Manager, to pay her a visit and measure the doors for her. We were able to get her all standard doors so she wouldn't have to purchase them from Home Depot. (The frame was fine)
2. KNEE WALL
- We framed a knee wall for her peninsula/wet bar area. When the finish carpenter installed the cabinets he never fastened the wall to the cabinets. So the base of the cabinets touched the wall, but the top of the cabinets (at counter height) didn't. During countertop templating or installation the issue wasn't addressed either. So when the countertops were installed the wall remained out of plumb with no easy way of fixing it. Given that this is a freestanding wall there wasn't much "bracing" we could do because all of our frame bracing would be removed. There was some bracing that could've been done during drywall - but even without that if the finish carpenter had attached the cabinet to the wall instead of just placing it against the wall then the issue would've been resolved. Even if the carpenter missed it - if the countertop installer had noticed this during templating and pointed it out it would've been possible to correct the issue before actually installing the countertop. This is what I was trying to explain years ago about information and details being missed during piece-meal-work.
3. SHOWER DOOR
After some investigation we figured out why the door didn't actually fit. The situation could've been avoided - however, this was something that I could still fix for her. We ended up purchasing a brand new door and installing it for her in order to solve the issue.
In construction if you simply "trust the next guy" then you're a poor manager. No matter how small the project; issues can always come up. If there's no one supervising start to finish then the likely hood of said issues will be even greater. We didn't have the opportunity to do the full project here, but I always suggest working with a manager or reaching out with any questions when you decide to manage your own project as a client.
All the best,
Windson
