CONSTRUCTION DIRECT PROGRAM
Simply Custom is promoting its Construction Direct Program to families, churches and businesses
exploring a real opportunity to save big on upcoming design and/or construction projects. Our
construction direct program was designed to empower our clients, putting them in full control of their
dollars. This is done by providing project and/or construction managers instead of a general contractor
(GC), with the full service that a GC typically offers. How and why is this done? A GC is contracted to
coordinate and oversee the construction of a new development or renovation projects. GC’s offer
limited in-house services and sub-contract services to trades such as structural, mechanical, electrical,
plumbing, etc. The contract is between the owner (individuals or organization) and the GC. We often
hear in the news how owners are over charged and/or hit with property liens due to padded fees and
GC’s non-payments to sub-contractors. Our unique business model eliminates construction over-run
and liens while assuring a successful project from A to Z/start to finish. As stated in the cover letter, all
trades and suppliers are paid directly. Therefore, there is no hidden cost. We negotiate and prepare
all necessary contracts; we prepare and/or coordinate necessary documents.
Not only do we offer full design/build services, we can assist you with finding the perfect site for your
project, as well as conduct a construction feasibility study to enable our clients to make an informed
decision with respect to the viability of their project including but not limited to its budget, schedule
and location.
