Home Installation Professionals have been and continue to be in the business of exceeding our customer expectations in all ways in design build home and commercial improvements since 1973. Home Installation Professionals take pride in and love to design and build while taking a basement, backyard, office, warehouse or any space and making that space into a beautiful new living space for all to love and enjoy. Home Installation Professionals have and continue to earn the respect and support of thousands of satisfied customers, just about 80 large and small projects a year.
Now for solutions and what Home Installation Professionals can and are doing as Home Installation Professionals move forward in dealing with this economy and making sure we don’t have issues again as we did in these four projects in 2008 (out of eighty projects last year seventy six with awesome results) and most importantly to protect our customers and insure great outcomes far beyond our customers expectations on every project.
1. As of this Month, we have re-resourced our vendors and reestablish new credit and vendor lines. The new federal programs have helped significantly.
2. We have resourced in some cases new subcontractors were necessary and reestablish new payment terms and rules to best serve our customers.
3. Most importantly as of March 1st 2009 we are now protecting our customers, our vendors, sub contractors and ourselves and eliminating any economic impact by now only working through professional construction escrows programs, professional construction coordinators, bank and title companies for all our new and future projects regardless of the size and scope. All funds are directed from the customer to the bank and or Title Company and payments are incrementally made through the title company in small increments only when specific performance based projects steps are accomplished. For example in a basement or an addition project a payment is made only at framing, one at electrical one at HVAC one at finish flooring etc. And this payment is only made upon complete approval of all parties, the homeowners, the GC, the subs, the bank and or title company and local municipal inspectors. Performance bonds are included; also when all payments are made each payment to any party is not made until after all mechanics lien releases and associated paper work are provided by the sub, vendor or GC. So each and every incremental step and all payments are inspected and approved by all as the project goes along. A complete project budget called a Contractors statement listing all line items and payments to all vendors, GCs and subs that is available to all at all times. Upgrades can be added if required to the budget or contractors statement at anytime. We pay all fees for the title company, professional construction coordinator and performance bonds.
Since 1973 Home Installation Professionals have always relied on our very detailed pro client contract and our interaction, trust and team work with our customers has always worked for everyone on our projects from 1973 through the first half of 2008 but our recent learning curve has taught us that sometimes is not enough given and depth and length of this recession which seems to have particularly targeted the housing, build and remolding industry. We do know that had we had the Title escrow program in place none of the challenges we had with these four customers would not have occurred since every project detail and cost is listed and must be approved by all before any payments are made. Home Installation Professionals are working on four projects right now that are all Title coordinated, one for a Vice President of a large local bank and through the professional construction coordinator and all are going very smoothly without issue.
Home Installation Professionals look forward to 2009 and the inevitable turn around and economic recovery we hope will come much sooner than later. In the mean time we look forward to continuing to exceed all our customer expectations in all home improvement and commercial design and build projects. One great thing this recession has done is that we are now offering our customers at least 20 to 50% discounts on overall project costs because of the tough economic times we are all in along with our standard policy of beating any professional proposal in all ways including many free upgrades along the way for our customers that other builders will not even consider, along with our free architectural and professional interior, kitchen and bathroom design services and our free lifetime warranty on everything we do. Please talk to us about other stimulus packages and discounts we offer and please come and see our work, tour our local projects and talk with our customers. We will work through this together improving today for a better tomorrow. Home Installation Professionals build on our success and turn challenges into improvement to better serve all our customers.
Thank You
