Services
K. Daniel Kenny & Co., Inc. offers a systematic approach to building.
Combining insightful interactive design review, the preparation
of specialized components and materials, procurement of skilled
craftsmen and specialty contractors, and a controlled construction
process have contributed to the building of award winning homes
and structures.
Site Evaluation
The relationship of a house to its building site is an important
aspect of the design phase. If you already own a site and have chosen
an architect, K. Daniel Kenny will visit and walk the site. We will
work with your architect to design a house responsive to your requirements,
complimenting your building site and community by taking advantage
of its natural features. If you have not chosen a designer we can
recommend a few outstanding ones.
Design
The design process is a thoroughly enjoyable and exciting part of
creating your own custom home. A design/build concept is developed
a thorough discussion of your preferences, lifestyle and what is
already known about the building site. Having your builder involved
early on in the process ensures the best design is achieved with
the best use of material and components in the most cost efficient
systems available today.
Project Costing and Budgeting
While design is essential to the pre-construction phase, project
cost estimating and budgeting are of utmost importance. The single
hardest lesson to drive home is that budget wields a far sharper
pencil than any other participant in the process. Having the design/build
team in place before construction plans are completed will reward
you, the owner, with big dividends. Input from the builder and specialty
contractors decreases the cost and scheduling time of the project.
Project Management
K. Daniel Kenny & Co., Inc. strives to achieve peak performance
using hands on site management, computerized project scheduling
and job costing. We are also utilized to supervise and oversee landscape,
hard/softscape and finish site specialty subcontractors. We feel
that project management is the forefront of all successful custom
home building projects.
Construction
The construction phase is the one of the primary responsibilities
of the builder. The builder's site superintendent coordinates his
crews and the specialty subcontractors to construct the owners home
as per the design plans, taking into account any changes directed
by the owner and/or designer.
