A: Through experience we have learned it is best if we are responsible from point A to point B and everything in between. During that time we use only our in-house staff and our trusted sub contractor pool to complete the project. In the past we have waited weeks for someone's "buddy" to wire the house. We use only those people we can hold accountable. If you would like to self-contract some component of the project before we arrive or after we leave that is usually not a problem. (We often allow you to run surround sound or other media yourself assuming it is done on time)
A: Our contracts are set up as such; we establish a fixed fee (pre-overhead profit) based on a percentage of the project (this fee varies on the degree of difficulty and the time involved). Above that the customer pays the invoiced amount from our subs and vendors and the applicable rates for our in-house staff.
A: Approximately each month you will receive a draw request that shows the same items from your estimate. Each line item will have an amount incurred for that month. Included in the draw request is an invoice for each of the pertinent line items. The invoice shows what has been paid for that category.
A: Besides the occasional charity sponsorship, to date we have relied primarily on word of mouth/ referrals.
A: Michaelson Homes is an LLC with Marc as the Managing Member, Robby as the President, and 3 additional members.
A: The management fee is estimated based on 2 hours of Marc's time per day for the duration of the project.
