Construction Issue Problem Solving by ParsCo

Do you have problems with your building?

Problems that aren’t being solved?

  • Are you frustrated by hard to resolve problems with your building?
  • Angry about the amount of time and money you’ve spent “fixing” the problem – a problem that still isn’t fixed?
  • Tired of listening to the complaints of people in your building?

You know the type of problem I’m talking about… the one that you’ve tried over and over to fix. You’ve probably even had several different companies in to fix the problem and it’s still there, or the problem’s actually gotten worse because of the “fixes”.

If that describes your experience trying to fix a chronic problem with your building keep reading.

ParsCo can help you solve problems with your building. But not the everyday, run of the mill, kind of problems with buildings. We are talking about the problems with your building that no one else has been able to fix.

What Types Of Problems Am I Talking About?

Moisture problems, indoor air quality concerns, water intrusion, material compatibility issues, structural issues, code compliance, contractor and new construction problems… any of these ringing a bell?

ParsCo Construction Value Guarantee

In a world where respect and integrity is getting harder to find, one name stands above the rest...ParsCo Construction and for good reason. True success is found in living and running a business based on God's laws of success, embodied in The Biblical Standard - "treat others as you would like to be treated." At ParsCo, Our Biblical Standard is at the forefront in every building we design, every project we construct, and every relationship we develop.

 

Can We Match Any Price?

This is a question we are often asked. A simple answer is: with ParsCo's Value/Pricing, we can typically match any legitimate quote. However, many competitors have a "bid" or "low ball" sales strategy & only provide a lowest dollar bid, with many assumptions, hoping to win the project with out being willing to spend the time to educate or identify the clients real budget, needs or use. The more educated consumer knows that "the bitter taste of poor quality lingers long after the sweet taste of a low price". Therefore, a poorly designed,  or constructed building will leave a bitter taste long after the sweet taste of what appeared to be a 'low' price. For the educated consumer, its time to find out about the maximum advantage and low price combination found exclusively in ParsCo's Value/Pricing known as:  We promise no one will work harder or be more honest to get your building in your budget.

It is all about Choice...

Choices abound in the construction industry, as it does with any large purchase. Yet, some consumers are sometimes so price-driven that we short-change ourselves of the wealth of knowledge available.

Value-engineering to Control & Reduce Building Costs...

ParsCo works with our Clients to design a project to fit any use or budget, with the quality product and services you need. We will also invest our time to educate you on total construction costs, so that you will know how to evaluate those costs. You will know how to reduce costs without offsetting higher construction cost, and where it makes sense to do so or not.

Detailed Quotes, not Vague Ones...

Many competitors with the "low bid" mentality feel "if you don't know you don't get it"... We will also give you Detailed Quotes and not vague quotes so that you will see the difference and the value of what we call standard, and others call options.  With ParsCo, you will learn the real dollar value & advantages of using our company. 

Educating the Consumer...

If we can earn your trust enough that you are comfortable sharing your needs and budget, we promise to invest our time to educate you. We will give you an honest cost free consultation and evaluate any competitors quote down to the last fastener and penny. All we ask for, is the last shot to honestly show you where the difference is. Over the years, we have found that the more educated the consumer, the better our quality and price look. This also ensures that you, the consumer, is very happy with your negotiated bid and purchase ...and, as everyone knows, happy consumers tell their friends and business associates. That's how we continue to extend our circle of repeat and referring customers.

Here's how Parsco's Value/Pricing works!

Let's use an everyday analogy to help explain our process. Imagine that you are looking to build a pre-engineered steel building. Your purchase can be compared to the purchase of your car or truck. With any vehicle, you have to first choose its use, size and style to establish and define if you are in the market for a luxury automobile vs. a moderately priced large or medium car/van/ SUV/truck vs. a small economy model. Over the years we have found that most consumers can similarly define their pre-engineered steel building needs in terms akin to a Cadillac, Chevy/ Ford or VW Beetle. That is where our ParsCo Value/Pricing approach begins. Like buying a vehicle, every consumer also knows that even with the starting point, by adding, subtracting or simply adjusting options; one can effectively blur the distinctions between the Cadillac, Chevy/ Ford or VW Beetle.

For instance, a car designed to have the flexibility and features allowing for off-road use would be different than a city/highway vehicle. However, a vehicle that requires both would be outfitted and priced differently than a single-use vehicle. Similarly, a building designed to withstand possible snow, earthquakes, or hurricanes or a building that will have suspended lights or sprinklers, or openings down one side of the building would be designed and priced differently than one not requiring, or offering such advantages. Additionally, considering short-term needs vs. long-term building needs that might need to have add-ons or extensions built into the design would favor some building types over others. Our job is to help you evaluate your "total cost of ownership", at today's building and construction cost as well as the value of your investment in 20 or 50 years. In today's economy the value of residential and commercial construction & properties goes up approximately 10% per year. 100% return on your investment in 10 years! Now, let us help you compare the 20-30 year value of your new building to the few dollars difference in cost of quality & service, today!

So, now you see why the simple answer of a single price quote for a given building might be a tremendous disservice to you. What if you really could get more building/features for a comparable or lower price than that quoted by a competitor

With such a large purchase, our customers have been telling us for years how much they appreciate investing some of their time with us to learn about, understand, and capitalize on all the inherent advantages and disadvantages of the myriad of factors and design options in buikdings. We will also help you to evaluate our bids and our competitor's bids side-by-side ...so that if a competitor has truly found an apples-for-apples better buy, we can give you the added assurance that you have found a best buy.


ParsCo's Value/Pricing Guarantee!

Not just low price... but out working the competition to provide you the maximum combination of quality & features for your bottom-line. And, we further pledge to help you professionally, courteously and with the Biblical Standard guiding our conversation. Again, all we ask for is that you give us the last shot... The education doesn't cost you anything but a little time... The cost of the wrong choice of application, product or competitor in 10 years?

 

OUR GUARANTEE

We promise no one will work harder or be more honest to get your building in your budget.

ParsCo Pre-Construction Services

Important building details are developed long before construction begins on a facility. Having a ParsCo Construction Manager on board early can make a huge difference in the success of a project. A collaborative team can help you make the necessary decisions about the project's design intent, schedule, budget, materials and more.  


Design Coordination

ParsCo wants to make your job as easy as possible. Our Interdisciplinary Document Coordination (IDC) can do just that by reducing needless requests for information (RFI's), change orders, and project delays while simultaneously improving relationships among owners, architects, engineers, and contractors.  

IDC is a ParsCo preconstruction service designed to identify, track, and communicate construction document coordination issues to the design and project teams prior to procurement and before construction. By taking a project's nearly complete construction documents (plans, specifications, and bulletins) and comparing/contrasting them to one another, we can easily identify coordination issues between construction disciplines before procurement.  


Types of Coordination Issues Include:
 

  • Physical - Will it hit? Will if fit? (Ducts clashing with steel, above ceiling congestion)  
  • Functional - Does it work? (120V VAV box circuited to a 277/480 Volt panel)  
  • Scope - What does it need to work? (How is the curtain wall attached back to the superstructure?) 
  • Life Safety Review and Opinion - IBC, NFPA, & Life Safety Compliance.  

Conceptual Cost Estimating 

Want to know how much your new construction or renovation will cost you before plans are even developed? ParsCo Cost Engineers can help. 

Benefits:

  • Provides early cost information to assist informed decision-making
  • Enables real-time "what-if" options analysis
  • Allows owners to accelerate the project due to quicker decision-making and less re-design 


Building Information Modeling (BIM)


While many companies may offer Building Information Modeling (BIM), ParsCo takes the process of generating and managing building data during its life cycle to the next level by ensuring the model continues to work for you throughout the lifespan of the project.

Using BIM, we'll create a model that shows visualizations, logistics planning, constructability analysis, clash detection and more. These visualizations allow the project team to communicate design intent in 3D instead of a flat 2D plan. Real time walkthroughs and simulations can realistically convey the look and feel of the new facility without breaking any walls!

Benefits

  • Enhanced communication
  • Faster processes
  • Increased collaboration
  • Cost savings due to error reduction

Utilizing ParsCo on the front end of a construction project is the smart choice to ensure your projects success.
