Delivery of Services

  • Detailed daily log updates, (by email), of work completed and job progress
  • Access and updates by me to your intranet or server based scheduling and management system by remote access from my office
  • Photographs sent by email when applicable to document phase progress and workmanship
  • Weekly face-to-face meeting or phone conference with you to discuss scheduling and tasks to be performed
  • Direct contact by me with necessary subcontractors and individuals responsible for work-in-progress
  • Additional customizable systems as necessary

"Jeff Crane has a good understanding of all phases of construction. He coordinates each schedule with knowledge of what is necessary to complete each sub-contractors scope of work. Jeff has shown a clear vision of what questions need to be answered and what information is required to keep a project progressing smoothly. Jeff’s leadership has definitely been a big part in my finishing four projects with him."
