Starting a construction or renovation project can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re not sure what to expect from the process. At Santos Contractors Corp, we believe that clear communication and proper planning are key to a successful project.
Here’s an overview of what clients can expect when working with a professional general contractor in New Jersey.
1. Initial Consultation & Project Planning
Every project begins with a detailed consultation. During this phase, goals, budget, timeline, and overall scope of work are discussed. This allows the contractor to understand your vision and provide guidance on feasibility, materials, and next steps.
2. Design, Permits & Pre-Construction
Once the scope is defined, planning moves into design coordination and permitting. In New Jersey, permits and inspections are a critical part of the process. A qualified general contractor handles coordination with local municipalities to ensure all work complies with building codes and regulations.
3. Construction & Project Management
During construction, your contractor manages scheduling, subcontractors, materials, and inspections. Regular updates help keep the project moving smoothly while maintaining quality and safety standards.
4. Final Walkthrough & Completion
Once construction is complete, a final walkthrough ensures all work meets expectations. Any finishing touches are addressed before project close-out.
Why Choosing the Right Contractor Matters
Working with a licensed and insured general contractor helps protect your investment, ensures code compliance, and provides peace of mind throughout the project.
At Santos Contractors Corp, we focus on quality craftsmanship, transparency, and long-term value for every client we work with.
