"How May I Help You Today?”
|
| |
|
| What
You Do
|
What
I Do |
You
make the initial payment. |
I
become your eyes, ears and voice throughout the
construction phase.
- I ensure that all necessary
permits and approvals required for the construction
are in place.
- I meet with the contractor
to review the plans, drawings, and schedules
and ensure that he understands your expectations
and specific requirements.
- I disburse sufficient
funds for the contractor to clear the land,
procure materials and begin construction.
|
You
monitor construction progress and provide comments,
questions and concerns to me. |
During
the construction process I:
- Meet with the contractor
to review the status and resolve any issues
that have arisen. Provide your inputs to these
issues.
- Communicate with you
to resolve issues and concerns and convey the
resolution of these issues to the contractor.
- Perform weekly on-site
inspections to ensure that construction is proceeding
according the plans.
- Periodically, or as
requested or needed, provide pictures of the
on-going construction to you.
- I receive, track, and
disburse money to the contractor in accordance
with contractual construction completion milestones.
- I ensure that Mexican
Social Security taxes are paid for all workers.
|
You
perform inspections, as called for in the contract
and upon satisfactory completion of the inspection
and resolution of all issues you provide progress
payments via wire transfer. |
I
support you during the inspections and review the
items identified with the contractor.
I identify what items are would be considered a
change order and verify with you that is what you
want. I verify with the contractor the additional
cost, if any, and advise you accordingly. All change
orders are paid for at the time of the change.
|
You
determine what items you wish to be different than
"standard" or items that you will supply
for the house. You pay all cost increases associated
with these items, including any transportation costs
or import duties. |
I
provide advice and guidance to you regarding these
items. I advise you as to the change in contract
price (either up or down) resulting from your decisions.
If you choose things within the Mexicali
area, I will make arrangements to buy and bring
them to San Felipe.
Normally, I include the standard household
appliances such as refrigerator, dish washer, washer
or dryer, stove, and garage disposal. These items
are generally a personal specific choice, set within
an allowance.
If your appliances or items are purchased
across the border, I have an importation source
that can bring them for a fee.
When we have agreed to all of these
items I will make appropriate adjustments to the
contract price and schedule.
|
When
all deficiencies are corrected you provide the final
payment. The house is now yours and you move in
when desired. |
I
accept the final payment, provide you with documentation
of the Social Security 'Letter of Liberation'. I
explain the Warranty phase, thank you for using
my services, and ask if you would provide a testimonial
for my web site and if you would be willing to be
used as a reference for future clients. Most of
all I hope that we can combine the next phase with
a LIFETIME FRIENDSHIP PHASE.
