Pre-construction and post-construction consulting may help to start out your project on the “right foot” and/or bring closure to a contract.

The Building Consultants Group is the county’s most thorough and experienced island resource for construction-related sevices.

Pre-Construction Consulting
For most people, building or remodeling a home is a once-in-a-lifetime venture. For all your care, time and investment, you want to be sure that your home is as livable, safe and enduring as possible. Equally important, you want to be sure the house you end up with suits your personality and needs. It’s crucial to speak with someone with experience in home building.

We recommend you ask the important questions before the work starts. Do you, for example, prefer sun or shade? Does your taste run toward a Victorian? If so, best not to build it in a forest or the maintenance will be costly and time-consuming. Perhaps you’d like help choosing the best lot for your plans or drawing up a construction budget. Richard Russell uses his many years of hands-on problem-solving experience to help guide clients toward the best choices for their particular situation.

Post-Construction Consulting
The Small Business Administration has pointed out that 95% of all new construction contractors will be out of business within 5 years. After 30 years of successful projects and dozens of satisfied customers, our approach to house building has a proven track record. Our clients know that we will be there not only during construction but also to support them during follow-up.

In the unlikely event that a SoundHouse client should experience a problem with their new project, we are there to work with you until any kink is worked out. SoundHouse’s Richard Russell takes pride in the product. “I build for my own conscience,” he says. There are dozens of details in any project, when a builder could choose to quietly cut corners, each one subtly reducing the quality of the resulting home. Russell refuses to take any shortcuts on quality. We, at SoundHouse have the philosophy, the deep experience, the equipment, the personnel, and the care to warrant and insure our client’s confidence.

The Building Consultants Group is also happy to do post-construction consulting on projects done by other builders or those built by the homeowner him/herself.
