"Thank-you."
"We are not a structural engineer, but Architects. Our billable hourly rate is $85 per hour we provide our services under various fee arrangements, hourly, lump sum, ranges and fixed fee. Our fees have not changed since 1997."
After deciding to go ahead with the project, we interviewed several contractors and decided that TBC brought us the best value for our money and would also allow David to oversee the project as needed. We started the project in June 2011 and completed the project in May 2012. The project did take several months longer than expected, but did stay on budget. The major problem that occurred that delayed the project was that in the summer of 2011, the original subcontracted framers were being sent to other jobs by their boss even though TBC was told they would be coming to our job. Hence, instead of working full time on our job, they were working less than half time. Eventually TBC had to fire them and find a new contractor to step in. At the time we felt that TBC should have replaced them sooner, but perhaps this was difficult due to contractual obligations. (We also found this first group of framers were slobs who did not have much regard for the fact that we were still living in the house.) By the end of summer 2011, the house was not completely framed and roofed and number of rain storms (including hurricane Irene) slowed down progress further. In mid-October we were still living in the part of the house and we agreed at this point that we would move out to allow for a more efficient work flow. From this point construction generally proceeded ahead, except for a few delays do to weather and scheduling conflicts that arose for other subcontractors, no doubt due to the significant delay caused by the no-show framers.
In the end the house is beautiful and works for us better than we could have imagined. While the house has not expanded much in
terms of square feet, the open floor plan and high ceiling/roof line combined with increased natural lighting gives a much more expansive feeling inside. From the curb, the house has modern angular green metal roof with cedar siding and one has to look hard to find any resemblance to the original house.
At the completion of of the project, TBC was very responsive to completing punch-list items and other minor issues that have arisen over the past year. While my wife and I certainly had stressful times during the renovation (and certainly did a lot of second guessing our decision to renovate rather than move), we always felt that David had a personal interest in getting the job done correctly and making sure that we were happy in the end. In that regard, David was very accessible by email or phone before, during, and after the work. In summary, David Kinsella provided the creativity to design a renovation plan that was truly transforming for our house and TBC was then able to see the plan through to successful completion.
"Best client to work with, they allowed us to utilize our training and creativity to the fullest extent. Thank-you it was a pleasure to earn your accolades."
"tbc appreciates your feed back and welcomes the opportunity to earn your business."
October 2015, I am still pleased with the steel beam.
"Thank you."
"The owner and tbc parted on good terms. We have no knowledge of this consumers complaints. This was posted 8 years after completion of the project. We were not notified of any issues. tbc warrantees our work for a minimum of one year from completion. The work we had completed was done on a time and material basis and we completed what the owner asked to complete. The owner did sweet equity that was not part of tbc's obligations. The owner paid tbc in full for all services."
"We appreciate all consideration and appreciate the feed back. We would love to hear your feed back to better serve our clients."
