BLM Construction & Remodeling gets asked by customers all the time, “How do we prepare for our construction project?” Once your job is defined, set up, and the process underway, here are some things you can do to get ready.

• Login and get familiar with BuilderTrend: Create a reliable communication system with your contractor right off the bat. This will eliminate any confusion or discomfort during the process. BLM Construction uses a tool, called BuilderTrend, that is dedicated to making sure our clients know exactly what is happening on their job. Within seconds, you can login and get immediate updates and information, see when and who is working, view your timeline, inspect or upload progress pictures, and even pay your bill!
• Know the Schedule: Work with your contractor to develop and understand the timeline. The timeline will highlight the dates and times work will be taking place and completed. This allows you not only to get mnentally prepared, but gives you plenty of time to get any preparations taken care of. Keeping yourself updated on the timeline, either through BuilderTrend or talking to the Job Manager, is also important. This way you’re not taken off guard by any sudden timeline changes due to weather or unforeseen events.
• Get the space prepped: Remove all furniture, wall hangings, valuable items, etc. from the job area. This will ensure items will remain undamaged throughout the project. You should also store any items you do not need in a garage or basement. This will prevent your living space from becoming too cluttered and greatly increase the cleanliness and efficiency of the project. Depending on the size of the job, some of our clients rent a storage unit to store their furnishings and valuable items.
• Keep yourself and your family safe: We ask that you please keep children and pets AWAY from the construction area. Also please refrain from performing any work on the project unless previously discussed with the Job Manager.
• Know the job will look great: Renovations often create a LOT of mess so be prepared to be a bit uncomfortable with your surroundings. We’ll cover any construction or high traffic areas with sheets of plastic to protect your home. Be patient and relax. BLM Construction & Remodeling always cleans up after the project is done. We work on leaving your home or office better than we found it.

If you have any questions about how to get prepared for your project, or any concerns during the project, especially after the job is completed, please feel free to call your Job Manager or the office at 717-650-1472. You can even stop by at 2415 W Market St, York, PA 17404.
