Our approach
Our approach
Clients should understand the work and its cost from the beginning. Jacobson emphasizes honest business practices, comprehensive pricing, preparation, clear communication, and active project supervision. The same standards apply in the office and on the jobsite.
Clear pricing
Comprehensive proposals help define the anticipated scope and cost before construction begins.
Prepared execution
Planning, material decisions, site conditions, and trade coordination are addressed before and during the work.
Active supervision
Office and field teams stay connected through project coordination, homeowner communication, and final details.
Process
From consultation to completion
Six stages organize planning, pricing, coordination, construction, quality control, and closeout.
Phase 02
Preconstruction & Estimating
Review existing conditions and construction documents, then prepare clear and comprehensive pricing for the anticipated work.
Phase 03
Planning & Coordination
Finalize the agreement, payment schedule, material selections, project logistics, and coordination required before mobilization.
Phase 04
Construction
Coordinate trades, scheduling, materials, field layouts, site meetings, and homeowner communication while work is underway.
Phase 05
Quality Control
Monitor the work in the field, address details as construction progresses, and coordinate required inspections and testing.
Phase 06
Project Completion
Complete the final details, closeout work, and applicable occupancy requirements with the project team.
Safety
Committed to safety
Safety begins with planning. Jacobson identifies potential hazards, coordinates work before construction starts, and expects the same preparation from its subcontractors.
Daily site coordination, proper equipment use, jobsite housekeeping, and OSHA-aligned safety practices help protect employees, subcontractors, clients, and their properties while keeping projects operating safely and efficiently.
