Introduction

Chesapeake Construction Inc. is plesed to provide the home and business Owner, reliable advice and counsel in selecting the best resources for renovation and new construction. We also wish to aquaint our clients with our policies and procedures for construction projects.

Who We Are

Chesapeake Construction Inc. is a design-build company operating since 1977 with a staff of experienced professionals who specialize in custom residential and commercial construction. Design-build contracting provides the Owner with everything from plans and specifications through the construction process. We are proud to offer potential customers our references and visits to previously completed sites.

Planning

Upon receiving your inquiry, a design team member will set an appointment to meet you to discuss and review your project. We offer “NO COST” conceptual design advice for those who do not have architectural or engineering plans and an understanding of the costs involved for your project. Should you desire, Chesapeake Construction Inc. can be engaged to provide designs and plans. If you already have architectural plans, we will work closely with your architect throughout the entire construction period.

Value Engineering

When we set about designing and planning we use the “Value Engineering” approach, taking into consideration our years of experience providing cost effective designs, materials and scheduling. Cost control is as important to us as it is to you. We offer project financing if you require it.

“Value Engineering” is the process of developing costs and stratagies during the design phase in order that the client becomes educated in how labor and material costs will impact the emerging design. Changes can then be nade to both to match labor and material budgets to a current design, or to change design elements to benefit from labor and material costs available in local markets.

Design and Specification Package

Once the conceptual designs and plans are completed, Chesapeake Construction Inc. will provide you with a Design and Specifications Package which you may use to obtain financing. Fixed drawing costs and fixed construction costs can be detailed at this time. (Please see the section on Contract and Agreement Options.

Timing

Chesapeake Construction Inc. uses the “Critical Path Method” (CPM) in scheduling your construction project. A detailed evaluation of the work to be accomplished, material availability and our in-house labor resources are blended with seasonal weather projections and your specific needs to give you an accurate production schedule.
