The importance of construction management

One of the most common questions Scott Rajavuori is asked is whether construction management is an important part of any home or commercial remodeling project. In a recent blog for Titus Contracting, Scott tackled this very topic. He noted construction/project managers will be able to:

·         Keep the project on track

·         Prevent the project from running into issues and increased costs

·         Correct any unanticipated problems

When you have a construction manager overseeing the project, you have an expert who is familiar with how construction and remodeling projects should work, and who will turn your ideas into something tangible.

Scott Rajavuori answers questions about retail build-outs

Scott Rajavuori recently took the time to answer some questions about retail remodeling for a Titus Contracting blog. Here’s what Scott said about things business owners needing to remember when undertaking a retail build-out.

One of the biggest things is ADA requirements; we need to make sure everything is accessible to everyone, and there are codes to insure that. With the ADA requirements come ADA guidelines that also have to be followed. You also have to be aware or thinking about egress. Local authorities will be concerned how you go about exiting the building, from the path to the door size and the markings (exit signs, emergency lights, etc). Another issue is the use of the existing building. All buildings are classified based on permitting or how they are set up to be used. This can affect many different areas. For example, an insurance agency would be classified as a “business,” a clothing boutique as a “mercantile” and a karate studio as an “assembly.”

Titus Contracting Hired New Construction Manager

Please help Titus Contracting LLC in welcoming our new construction manager, Martin Wood.

       

Martin Wood attended the University of Minnesota and graduated with a degree in construction management in 2002. During his time in college, he started and managed his own construction company. This left him with over 15 years of experience in the field as he joins the Titus Contracting team. His previous experience includes: concrete work, woodworking, landscaping, installing windows, and more.

In a recent press release dedicated to Wood's hire, Scott Rajavuori said, "We are sure Martin will be a great addition to our already successful team. His vast experience in construction and friendly demeanor truly matches the company's qualities, values and principles."

Wood said, "I pride myself in learning new things in the construction industry and excelling at custom work to give my clients something unique to their project." He now lives in Buffalo MN with his wife and two children.

Titus Contracting LLC is excited by this new addition to the team! Wood will help the company to continue to move forward.

Titus Contracting Remodels Its Websites

It’s been a great couple of months for Scott Rajavuori and the Titus Contracting team. We’ve stayed busy with work, and have excitedly launched new websites for TitusContracting.com and HomeRemodelers.com!

Since remodeling is what Titus Contracting is all about, we decided to apply that to our websites. We've remodeled them to make them look as good as any job we’ve done!

The new, improved TitusContracting.com has an updated navigation menu and project gallery that is easier to browse through. The new site is also more reader friendly and functional. Each page has received a new look, and the site is now responsive, meaning it is formatted to look great on a PC, tablet and smartphone.

HomeRemodelers.com is the site we use for our home remodeling division. Previously, all of the projects were available in one photo gallery, but now they are broken down into individual galleries by room. The site also features a new Before & After Gallery, to give visitors a visual insight on the work we do. Each page has a brand new look and feel.

We hope you enjoy our new sites as much as we do. Please click here to visit TitusContracting.com. And also check out HomeRemodelers.com.
