Choosing
an Accelerated Construction Company
Working
with a modular construction company should
be a smooth and hassle free process. Your new
building should be of high quality and value
and meet both your current and future space
needs. The process can be challenging to you,
regardless of whether this is your first building
or if you are routinely responsible for hundreds
of thousands of square feet of new building
space each year, but the company with which
you are working should make it a priority to
give you the answers you need fast and to ensure
that you’re satisfied with your experience.
Based on our experience in working with thousands
of customers over the past fifteen plus years, we believe there
are a number of qualities you, the customer,
should look for in choosing a construction
company to work with:
Expertise:
Does the company have Project Managers and Technical Staff
with experience and expertise relavent to your project or
do they take a one size fits all approach?
The needs of educational organizations are different
from that of medical institutions. Government
agencies have different requirements from retail
businesses. Even something as simple as office
space will have different specifications and
requirements depending on your specific needs.
Comark assigns project management teams
based on past project experience and familiarity
with your building and space needs.
Knowledge: How
much experience does the company have with
custom buildings? Many companies
build small, more cheaply constructed stock
buildings and have very little familiarity
with custom construction.
Comark focuses on building 1,000SF or over.
All our buildings are custom designed and manufactured
to meet your exact needs.
Building Experience: Is the company a real
builder or are they a Dealer who will “broker” your
project out? Most companies in this industry
are Dealers… they do not operate their
own manufacturing facilities but broker your
project out usually to whomever will build
cheapest for them. Although some Dealers provide
a great deal of value and service to customers,
many Dealers don’t. In fact,
most won’t even tell you that they aren’t
actually involved in constructing your building.
If you aren’t sure where your building
will be built and who will be building it,
ask.
Comark owns and operates three of the countries
most productive manufactured/construction plants. We invite you to come by for a
plant tour and learn more about the Comark
process!
Building Methodology:
Does the company have the methodology in place to meet your time and budget constraints.
Comark has been utilizing accelerated construction and value-engineering methods to
meet our customers' time and budget constraints for over 15 years. Our modular construction
process allows us to shorten timelines and create project savings without sacrificing
quality of construction.
Service: Let’s
face it… working
with a construction company can be a hassle.
We’ve all heard horror stories about
missed deadlines, cost overruns and having
to talk to 10 different people and getting
10 different answers about your project. Make
sure you find out what the company’s
commitment is to meeting your needs
through every phase of the project. Does the
company focus on making sure you are as knowledgeable
about the process
as possible or are they just trying to make
a sale? Is the company developing a solution
to meet your exact needs or are they trying
to shoehorn you into a cookie cutter building?
Does the company encourage you to visit projects
they’ve completed and to talk to past
customers?
Comark is dedicated to customer satisfaction.
We custom design all our buildings to meet
your specific needs. We are extremely proud
of our track record of customer satisfaction.
In fact, most of our business comes from past
customers and referrals.
Quality: The accelerated building industry has
come a long, long way from the days of ugly,
leaky classroom trailers. Well, at least some
companies in the industry have. The quality
of design, materials and construction are just
as important as the skill, experience and dedication
of the people involved in ensuring your building
project is successful. Advanced quality control
systems should be in place to make sure every
building meets the highest standards.
Comark uses only commercial grade specifications
in its buildings. Over a period of years, Comark
has developed a set of minimum specifications
using high quality, commercial grade materials
designed to withstand rigorous commercial usage.
As a result, Comark’s minimum specifications
always meet and frequently exceed code requirements.
We make extensive use of Quality Assurance, and Quality
Control techniques during all phases of the building process including
design, construction and site development.
