It can be challenging for a home owner to hire the right builder to build the home or do extensive remodel. We sure heard it all, the builder that took off with your money, the one that never finished the job or the one that finished it however not to your satisfaction or worse, way over budget!

At Hillis Bolte, we like to be as transparent with our clients as possible, so they know what they can expect with us. We aren’t hiding anything…and we have created a very detailed project management procedure for all of our team members involved.

Roles and Responsibilities for our Team

When project team members have been assigned to a new project, all team members meet to discuss their roles and responsibilities. Our agenda is to first draft of the Roles and Responsibilities matrix.
Each project and job site is unique. We are prepared to make changes to the R & R matrix.
All binders and other supplies are made available for the job team. They are pre-printed and labeled.
This ensures that all attendees understand, and have resources for, each item they are responsible for.
Each member is responsible to attach Dates, Frequencies and Milestones to each item and Construction Schedule.
We review this list at least once a month.

Our project procedure ensures that the project moves along smooth, without any complications.
