At Modern Construction we follow a code of ethics, service promise and best price first guarantee to insure that we always lead with our best proposal.  We focus on not cutting corners, not compromising and working with the client directly.  When we sit down with a client we can back our work with years of experience and independent testing that goes much higher than the industry standard.  

CLIENT EXPERIENCE

When you work with Modern you work directly with the owner and the design team.  There is a no obligation/no charge sight evaluation, preliminary blueprint and preliminary estimate using your custom floor plan design for your lot/site.  We even encourage you to compare your estimate with Modern to other builders to ensure we are the best choice.

We have worked with clients who come with very challenging ideas and sites.  No matter what the challenge we will honestly address the situation and look for a solution.  Clients have come to Modern with difficult lots, challenging grades, soil corrections, unique home plans, drainage challenges, power line issues and the need for variances.

Several site visits will occur including a framing walk-through which allows home-owner to place all electrical switches, lights, island placement, flooring transitions, shower fixtures, blocking for TVs, etc.

Within the walk-through there is opportunity for the home-owner to address design modifications at almost any stage in the project.  As the project transforms from paper to reality Modern understands that adjustments may need to be made to accommodate the client at a more personal level.

SERVICE PROMISE

We offer a service promise that includes:

• 48 hour response to questions 

• Best price first - no haggling

• Flexible payment schedules

• Flexible work schedules

• Guaranteed completion and walk through dates in writing

Our service promise highlights our standards which include regular follow ups on all of our jobs.  For example, we provide the following walk-throughs on our new construction projects:

• Final walk-through when your home is finished, which includes everything you need to know about your new home.

• A 30 or 45 day follow-up inspection (depending on the season) of your home.  This is to handle any warranty issues....Are there any settling concerns, do we need to adjust a drawer or two, etc.

• And, finally, a 1 year follow-up inspection.  At this inspection we can see what happens to your home after it goes through a full freeze/thaw cycle.  

We want to ensure that you love your home, that everything functions to your standards, and that all your questions are answered.  Our home warranty that is not only among the best in the business, it is higher than the state requirements most other builders follow.
