Notes From Our Journey

Observing the Ceci Bates timeline, one might notice it differs from typical industry patterns. For those comparing builders, this approach might seem unfamiliar. Our pre-construction phase is noticeably longer, marked by additional meetings, a thorough selection process, and meticulous engineering. At times, a client eager to see tangible progress could question why our process appears prolonged at its onset.

In this initial phase, Ceci Bates undertakes thorough work many builders traditionally defer. Our in-house team designs, engineers, and plans every element of the home in remarkable detail. Materials are not merely chosen but are secured with definitive purchase orders. Structural plans down to every stud and joist are meticulously drawn, while comprehensive takeoffs and budget verifications ensure accuracy and precision. Consequently, when construction begins, all decisions and preparations are complete.

During the construction phase, our process demonstrates its merit. Framers receive plans that leave no room for interpretation; every piece of material is accounted for and positioned with purpose. Materials are not procured; they are already at vendor yards, aligned with the construction schedule. Every selection has been documented, eliminating last-minute change orders or decisions that typically delay progress. Our tradespeople focus solely on execution, translating designs into reality without impediment. This leads to a construction phase that proceeds swiftly, even for complex projects, due to the thorough groundwork that has been laid.

The connection between a project’s early stages and its timely completion is clear. At Ceci Bates, the investment in detailed planning and preparation eases the construction phase, ensuring efficient progress.
