Our extensive experience and expertise in taking over incomplete construction projects make us the ideal partner to help you complete your dream project.
Advise your Insurer: After contacting us, the next vital step is to advise your insurer. If you have a Home Indemnity Insurance (HII) policy in place, it can provide valuable protection in this situation. You can find the insurer's contact details in your Certificate of Insurance, which your builder should have given you at the project's outset.
Provide Us with All Documentation: We will then request that you provide us with all relevant documentation related to your construction project. This includes contracts, invoices, payments, and any other records. This documentation is essential for us to conduct a comprehensive site inspection and assess the project's status accurately.
Engage an Engineer for a Structural Inspection: Depending on the circumstances, a structural inspection by a qualified engineer may be necessary to evaluate the integrity and safety of the existing work. We can provide guidance and assist you in engaging the right professionals to conduct this inspection if needed.
Leave the Rest to Us: Once you've taken these initial steps, you can trust Patterson Construction to handle the rest. We will conduct a thorough site
inspection, evaluate any existing plans and designs, and formulate a comprehensive plan to successfully complete your project.
