Open Book Construction Management

Designing and building a custom home or renovating a home is a complicated undertaking. There are many moving parts to manage – numerous vendors, suppliers & tradesmen, material acquisitions, bid management, financial & banking relationships, building codes & inspections, and scheduling & sequencing tasks, just to name a few. It requires years of experience to be able to manage and navigate this labyrinth to successfully build a home.

Many homeowners have traveled down this path only to be disappointed by poorly met expectations, cost overruns, poor quality & workmanship, etc. Attempts by homeowners to obtain explanations for these disappointments are thwarted by explanations woven into the complex relationships in the construction industry that can run multiple levels deep, leaving homeowners frustrated and disenchanted. We’ve heard it described as continually running into barriers that are seemingly only in place to create a "cloud of confusion".

At Forner – La Voy, our philosophy is different. We strive to clear the "cloud of confusion" and tackle the barriers that create it head-on.

For a homeowner to enter into the homebuilding or renovating process, they must put their trust in a builder to help them avoid the many potential pitfalls that await. We believe the best way to portray, instill, and maintain that trust is through complete transparency during our relationship with you – a philosophy we call Open Book Construction Management.

What does complete transparency mean? It means you have full visibility to all the detail to which we have visibility. It means you obtain our discounted builder pricing for materials and services, and it means all rebates accrue to your benefit. It means you receive detailed line-item estimates and budgets from the very beginning of your project, and then throughout the project it means you see your actual costs relative to those original budgets. It means you see all original invoices, and it means you see our fee. It means a level of detail from which you walk away knowing there cannot be anything hidden.

Most of all, it means comfort and peace-of-mind that you and your builder are working together to achieve your goals in a way that is understandable, straightforward, and fair.
