In-Depth

Pre-construction

The pre-construction stage is a collaborative planning phase between the owner, the design team and ACH Construction. We confer with the client and all other parties to establish a series of cost estimations, feasibility reports and other important design considerations before moving on to the next step. Pre-construction is where all financial, scheduling, and permit-related questions are clearly addressed.

We offer the following pre-construction services:

  • Budgeting (with detailed input from experienced subcontractors)
  • Buildability review – An outline of the construction process during all of its intended phases.
  • Subcontractor and supplier considerations
  • Design team suggestions for finish materials and general infrastructure (plumbing, electric work, and HVAC system recommendations)
  • Value engineering techniques
  • Permit pulls
  • Financing options
General contractor

The general contractor assumes responsibility for every aspect of the construction project, from the first day until the final product is ready to be delivered. As such, the general contractor regularly communicates with all supply vendors, subcontractors, architects, designers and everyone else to ensure continuous project momentum. In addition to keeping all parties working in unison, the general contractor is also responsible for:

  • Project scheduling and management
  • Supervision during onsite operations
  • Construction design oversight
  • Handling subcontractor bids
  • Heavy equipment and materials acquisition
  • Quality of workmanship
  • Above all else, client satisfaction
Construction project management

The general contractor is responsible for choosing all project overseers as well as the subcontractors. Choosing the right job foreman and production supervisor is of the utmost importance. The job foreman serves directly under the general contractor and the production supervisor coordinates all remodeling and construction.

ACH Construction has the proper construction project management skills and background to:

  • Review and negotiate contracts
  • Review construction design plans
  • Add or remove staff as needed
  • Perform critical path method (CPM) scheduling to determine critical project decisions
  • Conduct value engineering exercises
  • Inspect construction for quality assurance
  • Monitor productivity using exact statistics

 

Post-construction

At ACH Construction, the end of the project is not the end of our professional working relationship with the client. We perform many post-construction services to ensure all agreed-upon aspects of the project have been met and the client is fully satisfied. We deliver excellent post-construction services as both a courtesy and a reminder of our distinguished professionalism.

Our post-construction services include:

  • Follow-up communications after the project has been completed and turned over to the owner
  • Additional modifications for enhanced functionality
  • Review of all agreed-upon project goals and criteria
  • Professional guidance for proper maintenance
  • Warranty and service programs

 

 

Subcontractor construction services

ACH Construction's longstanding reputation and history of proven relationships with subcontractors makes the bidding and staffing process as fast and efficient as possible. We are able to perform many aspects of construction that other companies simply cannot complete on their own due to a lack of expertise and connections. Our in-house crews consist of expert carpenters, painters and floor technicians who have demonstrated excellent results on all of our commercial and residential projects. Call us today to learn more about how our veteran in-house crew can complete your residential or commercial project with minimum subcontracting.

Guiding Principles

Our guiding principles represent what we believe in our hearts.
They act as our compasses in case we get lost.

1
Long term relationships over short term profits

Valuing customers and investor loyalty as well as good vendor relationships over ventures that could get you cash faster.

2
Maintaining an honorable and respectable reputation

Ensuring the credibility of the brand and the trust of the customers and investors through outstanding quality, responsiveness and ethics.

3
Understanding the value of effective cooperation and collaboration

Knowing that the best results can only be achieved when every member of the team has the opportunity to fully realize their potential and make a contribution to the common cause of the company.

4
Having the necessary foresight to identify and take on challenges and reasonable risks for future gains

Any challenge or difficulty should be seen not as a potential disaster, but as a great opportunity to get valuable experience and knowledge that can give the company a boost in the future.

5
Using every opportunity to benefit our clients and investors

Understanding that every challenging project, regardless of its scope, is a great new opportunity to challenge ourselves and set a higher standard for our performance.

6
Embracing constant improvement on the organizational, team, and personal levels

There is always some room for improvement, no matter how small it is. We believe that a passion for growth is what has kept our company alive through the years, especially during challenging times.

7
Knowing That Change is Good

We believe that few things are permanent. It’s also why we don’t complain when there's something we don’t like. Instead, we do something about it while still remembering, of course, that the team comes before any individual employee.

Alan Kay said, “The best way to predict your future is to invent it”. If you don’t like what the present says about your future, change it!

FEEDBACK

Execution of important details and architectural integrity of our projects are central to our company from a core mission perspective and our brand. It is incredibly difficult to deliver this quality and aesthetic of product in this market while staying within reasonable budgetary constraints. We are extremely satisfied with the quality and product that ACH Group LLC achieved at our most recent project, 1219 Florida Avenue NE, DC. This unique product type required precision construction as well as efficient construction techniques and planning in order to meet budget and schedule. They were able to overcome a number of design challenges with creativity and grace and ultimately delivered an amazing product.  From start to finish their attitude and commitment to excellence was appreciated and we look forward to working with them in the future.

We value the architectural details of our projects with great reverence. Most of our projects involve challenging demands that require high quality construction, which is why we have been pleased with our decision to partner with ACH Group LLC for some of our projects in Washington DC. They have a terrific approach, and their team possesses extensive knowledge and expertise. These traits, coupled with creative design ingenuity, is what allowed us to continuously provide a superior value for our clients.
Moreover, their team is capable of accurately managing the construction process in spite of tricky obstacles. They absolutely know every job is different and will pay great attention that is needed.
I hold them in high regard and look forward to continuing and growing our relationship.

I greatly appreciated the craftsmanship ACH Group LLC achieved with one of my designs.  They worked closely with my team, carefully thinking about every detail and providing invaluable input from the pre-construction phase through completion.  ACH creatively approached the technical details, offering insight through the construction process.  I would recommend them for projects involving complex detailing.
