Why are there days when there is no work being done on my project?
There are a variety of reasons for this, including scheduling of specific trades in order, work load of crews, curing or drying times of certain materials, or pending inspections where further work must wait until the inspection is passed. 

Why do you use subcontractors?
NeWave Construction Inc. chooses to use subcontractors because they are specialists in their particular trade, and we know them to do good work.

Why does it seem that trades are being completed out of sequence?
Depending on the scope of the project, certain trades must complete their work (or a portion of it) prior to other trades.  For example, sometimes there are multiple phases of plumbing where certain tasks must be completed prior to other trades coming in to do their work, and then the plumbing fixtures and other finish work is completed later.  NeWave Construction Inc. and our subcontractors know how to coordinate their work schedules and are experts at keeping disruptions of other trades to a minimum.

Why are remodels more difficult to do than new construction?
It is always more difficult to work around existing construction because it’s more difficult to run new electrical lines, plumbing, etc. through finished walls rather than open studs.  There are many unknowns in an existing structure, new building codes, and there is more on-the-job troubleshooting as unforeseen problems arise, since many issues are hidden behind walls, or in attics.

 Why does the project take longer than planned?
There can be many unknown issues in a structure which must be addressed, and this will delay the finish date.  Often there are change orders to the original contract.  And sometimes NeWave Construction Inc. must wait for the homeowner to make decisions before we can proceed with the project, which can result in delays.

Why do my LED Lights Flicker when I dim the light?

What if I change my mind about something, such as where outlets are placed, or what color of paint, or style of cabinet?  Can I simply tell whoever is working at the time?
If you want to make changes and it is not too late, please contact Cory or Dan.  Do not involve our workers or subcontractors directly, as they are not authorized to allow any changes.  Cory is the liaison between you and the finished project.

What if there is an emergency in the middle of the night, such as electrical or plumbing problems related to the project?
If your situation is a true emergency, call 911.  If it is something manageable by you to minimize damage, such as shutting your water main off, do so.  Cory is available to take your calls Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.  Any contact outside of those times and days must be for a truly urgent situation.

I am worried about my home being secure while I allow so many people to work there.
NeWave is your general contractor and is licensed, insured and bonded.  Our subcontractors are also licensed and insured.  It is necessary for them and our workers to be at your house to complete their tasks.  They are professionals who will take all necessary steps to leave your home as secure as is reasonable after completing work for the day.

The jobsite at my house is dusty and cluttered, and that bothers me.
Of course it is!  Construction is that way by nature.  Our crews will do their best to keep that to a minimum, but it is to be expected. For special cleanup request call NeWave for quote on pricing & timeframe.
