How It Runs

A GC-grade process refined over 26 years of commercial subcontracting — every milestone documented, every handoff clean.

Step 1: Specification & Budget

Division 12 specs written or reviewed, budget pricing from your CDs — before the bid clock starts.

Step 2: Submittals

Product data, fabric samples, NFPA 701 certs, and shop drawings submitted for AOR review.

Step 3: DLO Field Verification

We measure every opening ourselves — no delegating DLO verification to an unqualified sub. If it fits wrong, we make it right.

Step 4: Fabrication

Systems fabricated to verified field dimensions with factory QC on every motor and cassette.

Step 5: Phased Installation

Floor-by-floor delivery, freight-elevator scheduling, and after-hours crews when the schedule demands it.

Step 6: Inspection & Closeout

Punch walk, Title 24 final-inspection support, O&M manuals, warranties, and lien waivers — complete closeout.

Step 7: Service Contract

Ongoing facility program: scheduled inspections, motor maintenance, and priority response.
