Project Satisfaction

“The palest ink is better than the most retentive memory” Chinese Proverb. The advice in this proverb could be used to ensure a smooth process through the construction of a job. During the job process if you notice anything that needs to be done or changed make a written note of this detail and make sure it goes to the contractor. It will allow for completion of these small items so they do not get missed.

Design

When you are in the process of choosing a contractor it is beneficial if you have a defined scope for the project. The initial step in your project should be choosing a design team. The design team will assist in honing in on what you desire in the space and that will allow the contractor to develop accurate pricing. It is not effective to shop around for a price without a well defined scope.

Kintsugi

Is there something bothering you about your space? Something broken, cracked, or otherwise drawing your attention to the fact that it’s time for some repairs? Perhaps you love your space but recognize it needs some updating. Consider the philosophy of kintsugi. This ancient Japanese pottery technique utilizes precious metals to repair breakages in a way that dramatically highlights the history of a beloved object. Inlaying a crack with gold, Kintsugi neither disguises the flaw nor discards the whole, rather it transforms an old object into a new thing of beauty. At Holcomb Corporation we strive to enhance the beauty of existing spaces. Give us a call and let’s talk about what we can do for you and your space. 

Power of the Team

When planning & budgeting for a project it is tempting to want to acquire your own subcontractors. We would recommend you let the General Contractor hire & manage the subs. The General Contractor will have a relationship with the subs. This lends to fine-tuned communication, familiarity of work style, better warranty practice, and usually provides for a smoother process.
