© 2020 Breakthrough
Builders. All rights reserved. 6 Common Issues in Construction Projects Minimize impact by understanding root causes • Inadequate Planning • Incomplete budgeting • Not understanding specifications and costs upfront • Not drilling down into project schedule, payment schedule, advances • Over budget, and lenders will not lend on a project that has already started • Hiring the Wrong Contractor: • Underbidding on the job • Taking large advances / not tracking budget and schedule • Not Tracking Progress: • Scope creep • Improper change management • Customer not knowing laws around change mgmt, advances, payments, mechanics liens, etc. • Delivering agreed-upon material? • Meeting budget and Meeting schedule? • Meeting city requirements / building codes? • Not knowing how to identify red flags / recover from issues
7.
© 2020 Breakthrough
Builders. All rights reserved. 7 Planning and Tracking Your Project The better you plan upfront, the lower the odds of surprises down the road • Align Scope and Budget • Plan upfront, to reduce surprises • Understand Costs: • Architect / designer / engineer fees • City fees • Construction costs • When funds will be needed • Applicable contingency funds • Understand and meet City Requirements • Select a Reliable and Capable General Contractor: • Check background • Agree on scope, budget, payment schedule • Verify Progress of your Project: • Budget and schedule • Check for red flags, and mitigate risk
8.
© 2020 Breakthrough
Builders. All rights reserved. 8 Planning the Dollars and Cents The better you plan upfront, the lower the odds of surprises down the road Purchase Price + Taxes A&E Costs Permit Costs Builder Costs and Insurance Construction Costs Down Payment + Interest on Borrowed Funds Selling Price + Commissions, Based on Recent Comps Return on Invested Capital
9.
© 2020 Breakthrough
Builders. All rights reserved. 9 Working with Planning / Building Departments Do’s: − Make sure you follow city rules − Try to work with folks who know similar projects − Show all relevant details in the plans − Understand city requirements at each stage − Understand lists of documents for each stage − Understand fees for each stage − Expect inconsistent answers − Expect city departments to not know the latest laws Don’ts: − Don’t ask for exceptions − Don’t lose your patience Common City Costs: − Site development review − School / Sewer / Park fees − Deposits: Geotech / Utility connections, etc.
10.
© 2020 Breakthrough
Builders. All rights reserved. 10 Planning Your Project: Project Timeline Contact us to optimize at every step 2-3 Months with designer/ architect ~ 3 to 24 Months to Permits Construction Time
11.
© 2020 Breakthrough
Builders. All rights reserved. 11 Contractor Red Flags Some of the things that can cause trouble for you and your project • Under-bidding on a project, just to get the job • Asking for large deposits upfront • Financial Trouble / Always short on money • Doing too many jobs at once • Trying to push you into high-priced suppliers • Trying to push you into change orders • Not paying his subs – may result in mechanic’s liens • Subs abandoning the job (job site sitting idle) • Not showing up at the job site / Not returning calls • Unorganized with the project and with the paperwork • In trouble with the city or the court system (county superior court) or the state (CSLB)
12.
© 2020 Breakthrough
Builders. All rights reserved. 12 Why not Hire an Unlicensed "Contractor?" • It’s a warning sign if that’s how he conducts his business • It’s a warning sign that he’s been knowingly breaking the law • He has nothing to lose by cheating you, abandoning the job, etc. • If he hurts you financially, his status may limit your remedies • His presence is a threat to your project – the city may come after both of you • In case of an accident (injury, fire, etc.), your insurance claim may get denied • You will be liable for issues, even after you sell the property • Potential criminal charges (misdemeanor plus fine of 20% of contract price or $4,500, whichever is greater and 90 days in jail for repeat offenders) and Administrative Penalties. Business & Professions Code §7028 • An unlicensed contractor is exposed to treble damages up to $10,000 plus attorneys’ fees and costs. Code of Civil Procedure §1029.8
13.
© 2020 Breakthrough
Builders. All rights reserved. 13 Why not Build Yourself? The State allows you to be an Owner / Builder, but you may face challenges • Finding, Vetting Subs, Driving Subs • Getting subs’ Interest and getting the Best Price • Scheduling Labor and Materials • One-time vs. Relationship with Subcontractors • Working with City Inspectors • Dealing with City Departments / Utility Providers • Keeping Yourself out of Trouble
14.
© 2020 Breakthrough
Builders. All rights reserved. 14 Why not Build without Permits? That’s yet another way to get into trouble • If the city catches you building without a permit, you and your project would be in trouble • If you have a dispute with workers / neighbors, they can get you into trouble by reporting you • When you refinance / sell the property, the added square footage may not be counted, and the buyer may get suspicious of the work. You may turn off potential buyers • If the property gets damaged through fire or water damage, the insurance company may not cover you • If a renter / buyer of property gets injured due to shoddy work, the insurance company may not cover you • You will be liable for construction-related issues, even after you sell the property
15.
© 2020 Breakthrough
Builders. All rights reserved. 15 Protect Yourself A professional general contractor will work hard to protect you, and to minimize surprises • Work only with a Licensed General Contractor • Have a Written Contract: Scope / Payment / Schedule • Check background of the General Contractor • Get “Course of Construction” Insurance • With Payment of each invoice, ask for Lien Releases • If you fire the contractor, use a Termination Agreement • After completion of project, file a “Notice of Completion”
16.
© 2020 Breakthrough
Builders. All rights reserved. 16 Working with a General Contractor Do’s: − Engage as early as possible − Be transparent / realistic about budget − Understand major costs upfront (foundation, trenching) − Specify material upfront, to tighten budget − Plan upfront, to reduce changes − Make timely decisions - consider lead time Understand that: − Contractor has to make a profit − Changes cost money, and when to change − Your indecision will likely cause delays − The lowest bids are most likely to get you into trouble Payment Models: − Fixed bid: cost + profit − Time and material (read this: https://www.markupandprofit.com/articles/cost-plus-contracts-time-and-material-contracts)
