Banker Contracting, is a full-service general contracting firm handling projects from conception to completion. We specialize in residential construction but also offer light commercial building services for restaurants, salons, cafes, and similar businesses.
 

Our team consists of skilled carpenters, experienced project managers, and dedicated individuals who genuinely care about your project. We're small enough to ensure personalized attention and involvement from every team member, seeing your project through from an idea to final touches and punch list completion.

We achieve this through our well-defined and customized construction process, which includes:

  • Initial Consultation: We discuss your vision, needs, timeline and budget.

  • Preliminary Budget: We provide a comprehensive cost estimate based on your initial plans.

  • Pre-Construction and Planning: We collaborate with you to refine project details and secure pricing from specialty trades and partners. This collaborative approach ensures a finalized budget and scope that aligns with your vision and expectations before construction begins.

  • Construction Contract and Permitting: We put together a custom contract tailored to your project and begin the permit approval process.

  • Warranty: We provide peace of mind with a comprehensive 1 year warranty on our craftsmanship.

Initial Consultation

​

The initial consultation is the foundation of our collaborative journey. It's where we get to know you, your vision, and your dream project. This interactive discussion, which can take place via phone, email, or in person, allows us to gather essential information and set the stage for a successful partnership.

Here's what you can expect during the initial consultation:

  • Open dialogue: We encourage you to share your vision, needs, and any questions you may have for us. This open communication helps us understand your unique perspective and desired outcomes. 

  • Collaborative brainstorming: We work together to explore various possibilities and identify the best approach to achieve your goals. We'll discuss potential design elements, functionality considerations, and budget parameters.

  • Realistic timelines: We understand the importance of timeliness. We'll discuss realistic timelines based on the project's scope, complexity, and experience from past projects. This ensures clear expectations from the outset.

  • Budget transparency: We believe in open communication about costs. We'll discuss preliminary budget estimates and explore options to ensure the project aligns with your financial goals.

 

This initial consultation is the first step towards transforming your vision into reality. By taking the time to understand your needs and collaboratively chart a course, we lay the groundwork for a smooth and successful construction experience.

Preliminary Budget 

After our initial discussions, we'll have a clear understanding of your vision, needs, and budget. This allows us to create a preliminary budget, a detailed breakdown of estimated costs associated with your project.

​

Here's what you can expect:

  • Transparency: This written document clearly outlines individual cost components with descriptions, providing you with a comprehensive picture of potential expenses.

  • Breakdown: The budget is categorized into various aspects of the project, such as materials, labor, permits, and potential contingencies.

  • Open communication: This is an opportunity to discuss the budget in detail, ask questions, and ensure alignment with your expectations.

 

The preliminary budget serves as a crucial stepping stone in the process:

  • Informed decision-making: It empowers you to make informed decisions about your project scope and potential adjustments to align with your financial goals.

  • Planning foundation: This initial budget lays the groundwork for the pre-construction phase, where we refine details, materials, secure quotes, and finalize the project plan.

 

Remember, this is just the first step. As we progress through the pre-construction phase, we may encounter unforeseen circumstances that could necessitate adjustments to the initial budget and scope. We'll keep you informed throughout the process and ensure transparency at every stage.

Pre-construction and Planning

As we move forward with the pre-construction phase, a formal partnership is established. This signifies your commitment to the project and our dedication to delivering exceptional service.

​

Here's what to expect:

  • Deposit and Hourly Billing: A 1-3% deposit is required to initiate pre-construction services. We then transition to hourly billing for our time and expertise during this crucial phase. This transparent billing structure ensures you are only charged for the services rendered.

  • Interactive Refinement: We work closely with you to meticulously refine project details, materials, and finishes, addressing any questions or concerns. This collaborative approach ensures every aspect aligns with your vision and desired outcomes, ultimately leading to an efficient and high-quality project.

  • Expert Collaboration: Leveraging our network, we secure competitive quotes from trusted partners for various project elements, empowering you to make informed decisions about materials, labor costs, and budget.

This interactive pre-construction process lays the foundation for a successful and rewarding construction experience. We are committed to working closely with you every step of the way, ensuring your project reflects your unique vision and exceeds your expectations.

Contract and Permitting

Once the project details are finalized, we move forward with two crucial steps:

 

Custom Tailored Contract:
