Sequencing is the whole job
Anyone can hire a framer. The value in a general contractor is knowing that the plumber has to be finished before the concrete goes down, that the inspector needs three days notice, and that ordering the wrong window in week two costs six weeks in month four.
We hold the contract, the schedule and the trades. You get one number to call, one invoice trail and one person accountable when something slips, which is the difference between a project you manage and a project that gets managed for you.
The contractor’s side of a project
The work that happens around the trades rather than in place of them.
Trade coordination
Concrete, framing, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, roofing and finish trades scheduled in the order that keeps the job moving instead of waiting.
Bids and buyout
Real bids from trades we have worked with, compared line by line, so a low number does not turn into a change order later.
Schedule management
A schedule that survives contact with weather and inspection lead times, updated as things move rather than after they have gone wrong.
Permits and inspections
Filed and scheduled in house, with inspection windows built into the schedule rather than discovered at the last minute.
Site supervision
Someone from this company on the job, checking work as it is covered up rather than after it is finished.
Budget control
Line item budgets and change orders priced before the work happens. No surprise invoices at the end of a project.
From scope to close out
Scope and site visit
We look at the site and the drawings and tell you what is missing from the scope. Free, and it usually saves money before anyone bids.
Bid and buy out
Trades bid to a defined scope. Vague scopes are where budgets die, so we tighten them first.
Permits and mobilize
Paperwork filed, trades booked and the site set up so the first week is productive rather than administrative.
Build and close out
Construction managed to the schedule, punch list walked with you, then final inspections and close out documents.
Two divisions, one company
Premier Construction Co. handles contracting, permits and site work. Premier Home Developers builds the houses. Both are Premier Group NWA, which means a residential job never has to wait on an outside contractor to file paperwork.
See the project gallery →General contracting questions
What does a general contractor actually do?
Holds the contract, hires and schedules the trades, files the permits, manages the budget and is accountable when something slips. You get one point of contact instead of coordinating fifteen phone numbers yourself.
What areas do you work in?
We are based in Gravette and work across Northwest Arkansas, primarily Benton, Washington, Carroll and Madison counties.
Do you work from my architect’s drawings?
Yes. We build from drawings you bring, and we will tell you before bidding where a set is incomplete, because that is where change orders come from.
Can you take over a project that has stalled?
Sometimes. It depends on what was built, what was permitted and what was documented. We will come look and give you a straight assessment rather than a sales pitch.
Bring us the drawings
Send the scope or the plan set and we will tell you what is missing before it goes to bid. The review and the site visit cost nothing.
