Occurrence that led to our involvement 

It all started with a Google search and a phone call. When the owner of AEG Vision needed a contractor for an interior renovation at one of their family eye care offices, they found Contractors Inc online and gave Bridget Opfer, Business Developer for Contractors Inc, a call. The owner was so pleased with what Opfer had to say in representing the company that we were the only company they asked for a bid. 

What we were tasked to do

The project involved a complete interior renovation of six rooms in the Orgain Family Vision building, which needed a modern update. This included demolition of interior walls, electrical work, added display cases, new flooring, fresh paint, and new trim. New desks were made custom from scratch, and new signage was completed and installed. 

Challenges

We had to complete the interior renovation in nine days in order for them to be back to business and continue seeing patients in a timely manner. We started Friday evening and finished the following Monday morning. In order to pull this off, there was little room for mistakes, and crews had to be available for long hours. We were able to complete the job within this timeframe due to our solid relationship with labor crews, and the expertise and experience to make the right decisions quickly. 

Lessons learned

We affirmed that it is necessary to have a dedicated crew when the timelines are this tight. It’s also important to have a project manager that understands and respects the timeline, and is willing to work 16 hour days if that’s what it takes to get the job done. We completed the interior renovation of six rooms in nine days with 98% done on time, and no change orders to the contract.
