The PSA–Our Process for Success

Planning your new construction on Long Island can be challenging and the PSA  is the answer to reducing this stress.    The PSA or preconstruction service agreement is a fantastic system that our clients love.  This agreement we make with our clients guides them through each step which results in a well-planned project with one main point of contact through each phase, which means consistent and complete communications, with a focus on budget concerns and the overall scope

Here is  an overview of how the Design-Build process with Bens General Contracting Corp:

Step 1 – Initial Consultation: In this phase, we’ll get acquainted to see if we are a good match.

We will fully explore your vision, ensuring a clear understanding of your goals.  We’ll discuss a budget range in relation to your vision, explore various options, and provide preliminary insight into the design and permitting process.

Step 2 – The Pre-construction Services Agreement: Prior to entering into a Construction Agreement together we have pre-construction processes for which there will be fees.  These pre-construction processes will be handled with what is called a Pre-Construction Services Agreement or PSA.    The PSA includes developing the project scope together and/or with your other design professionals, specifications, and selections and doing a detailed estimate that assures you a quality, completed project at an agreed-upon price.   The PSA will often cover some design services or consultations with designers, architects, engineers, etc., preconstruction planning, and project development.

This is a no-obligation service.  Once we have a conclusive plan and finish schedules, the information is yours and you are not under obligation to hire us for construction.

Step 3 – Project Development:   With all or most of the results of the PSA work in hand we will meet with you to talk through each stage of your project.   What’s more, we will take the time you need to feel comfortable and confident with your project. We’ll go over the scope of work, project plan progress payments, timelines, logistics, and concerns. You will meet your personal project manager and discuss how communications are best handled.  You will also be equipped with Ben’s Remodel Design Guide.

Step 4 – The Construction Agreement: We will now have all the information to provide a guaranteed price for your project, you will have signed off on the design and production plan.  You’ve met your project manager and will know who will be doing what and when.   We will provide an Agreement for our mutual signatures.  We will go over and explain every detail of our straightforward Construction Agreement.  Our goal is to include all finishes and every cost that will go into your job.  Our clients are without exception happy to know that when we present a proposal, the price is the price!

Step 5 – Project Management:  During the building phase we will handle all the details of ordering materials, scheduling, oversite, and coordination. Concurrently we will diligently keep you up to date on your project’s progress.

Step 6 – In-Process Changes:  No matter how carefully we plan your project together you will likely want to make some changes along the way. We are prepared to cheerfully accommodate any changes you want to make.  Our Agreement will explain how costs and timing associated with your changes will be handled.

Step 7 – Project Completion:   As during construction, at this completion phase we will meticulously inspect to ensure that the level of craftsmanship has been maintained throughout the project. And finally, you will benefit from our industry-leading one-year warranty on our work.

Step 8 – Warranty:   Rest assured that we will stand behind our work. We have a predetermined process that ensures that our project withstands the test of time. Additionally, we are always available for consultations and minor repairs during the warranty period and beyond. And of course we are fully licensed and insured in Nassau, Suffolk, and NY City.

Step 9—Enjoy Your Transformed Home:  Finally, you can savor the fruits of your transformed home.  We extend our heartfelt gratitude to you for choosing Ben’s General Contracting Corp.  to be part of your dreams.
