Building a Solid Foundation
For the vast majority of Americans, purchasing a house will be the single largest expenditure they ever make. This is why it is imperative to ensure the property you are considering buying is soundly built, resulting in years of enjoyment, low maintenance costs, and a return on the large investment made.
Iron and Oak Construction does not make concessions when it comes to the quality of the finished product. It is often said that a builder is only as good as their reputation, and Iron and Oak Construction works tirelessly to ensure the finished product exceeds their own exacting standards.
This is done through nine operational foundations that we aren't willing to compromise on:
Licensing and Continuing Education
Iron and Oak is a licensed and insured entity. In fact, Iron and Oak is licensed to build homes in Georgia, Tennessee and Florida. In addition to initial licensing, Iron and Oak Ownership, and employees regularly participate in continuing education opportunities and certifications to stay on the cutting edge of home building practices and technology.
Pre-Planning
Before any dirt is moved in preparation for a project, hours of pre-planning takes place internally and with the homeowner, when applicable. This process can be slow and arduous, but it guarantees a much higher satisfaction at a much lower cost to build for the buyer. Many obstacles are foreseen during this stage of development, and measures can be taken to negate or minimize the financial impact they would have if discovered later in the process. This also gives the home buyer an opportunity to consider the options' nature may afford in terms of landscaping, exterior amenities and floorplan layout.
Staff
The best plan is worthless if the people aren’t there to execute it, and Iron and Oak’s staff is its strongest asset. Iron and Oak employees work in unison to stay in constant, direct contact with subcontractors, co-workers, governmental planning and zoning officials, and the buyer. Communication is paramount in a project as large as a building a home, and Iron and Oak has a team with specific, dedicated roles, offering a streamlined, efficient building process.
Material Sourcing
Constructing a house is similar to the layers of a sandwich. If the bread doesn’t do its job of holding everything inside together, you will be left eating a salad. Selecting construction material is no different. Inferior concrete or framing materials will appear satisfactory to the untrained eye, but as the layers of the house are built, those imperfections will start to appear. They may only be cosmetic in the end, but they may create a product that isn’t structurally sound. All materials used by Iron and Oak are of the highest quality and sourced locally. Oftentimes, the superintendent dedicated to a project will go to the building supply store and handpick the materials for the job, ensuring the quality of the finished product.
Third-Party Inspections
Iron and Oak believes in the skill and competence of its employees and subcontractors, but it is always beneficial to have a new, different, unbiased opinion on projects. With this in mind, Iron and Oak has hired a certified, independent, third-party company, to provide regular inspections throughout the entire process. While written reports will be made available three times through the build, the job site is inspected by the third-party inspector at least every two weeks, oftentimes weekly.
Warranty
One of the greatest attractions to purchasing new construction is the builder’s warranty, and Iron and Oak offers two scheduled opportunities for any warranty work to be completed. One at 90 days, another at 11 months. This is in addition to the warranties provided by subcontractors. You can have peace of mind knowing Iron and Oak will stand behind the investment you make in a new home.
