Design • Build • Preserve
Ready to be inspired?
Krewe Construction & Development Group guides families through the design, build & preservation of unique, authentic, high quality homes with seamless project management. As your builder, we assemble the best team (from realtors to architects) to realize your vision. Our quality is so impeccable that we offer a three-year warranty with the option of on-going maintenance through the life of your home. The process of building a home can be long and complicated process, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. We organize with precision using transparent management software that shares every aspect of your project from beginning to end.
Pre-Construction
1
Introductory Meeting
(aligning goals)
When we first meet, we’ll discuss your goals and budget, work to understand your key issues and concerns, review Krewe’s approach to designing and building your custom home, and ensure that we are aligned so that there are no surprises as the home building process advances.
2
Finding Your Style
(Houzz, Instagram, Pinterest)
Curated collection of our work and idea books of some of the most stunning homes from all over the world, and lifestyle images of Lafayette and surrounding areas to give you an insider’s perspective of living in the Deep South of Louisiana.
3
Team & Budget
(realtor, architect, designers)
Once we have a Preconstruction Services Agreement (PSA) signed by all parties, we will meet again to discuss your specific client requirements and wishes, as well as determine the best way to meet your overall budget within the agreed upon scope of work. We will have Krewe Construction team members, the architect, interior designer, and you, our client, in attendance at this meeting.
4
Location & Design
(customized to meet needs)
Krewe Construction can either assist you with site selection or will review the lot that you already own. Either way, the professionals that comprise the Krewe Construction team understands the challenges and opportunities that different lots present. We are experts in topography, maximizing views, solar orientation, natural landscaping, and driveway and utility requirements.
Construction
1
Timeline
(graphed & updated daily)
We create a Gantt chart type schedule for every project complete with critical path information. The schedule is updated daily to accommodate the inevitable changes caused by weather, unforeseen events, etc.
2
Budget
(line items for every cost)
A comprehensive budget is created and tracked throughout construction to compare actual costs with budgeted. Monthly reviews with the client allow us to adjust as necessary.
3
Progress Photos
(online daily and emailed weekly)
Our team members take multiple photos, typically 5-10 each day and post them online. A status report containing the weather, new change orders, new photos, a summary of work performed the prior week and what will happen the next week is sent at the end of each week.
4
Tasks Outlined
(streamlined decision-making)
We create a task list for clients, the builder’s employees and subcontractors to keep everyone organized and aware of what decisions or information needs to be obtained.
Post-Construction
1
Warranty
(created to ease your mind)
2
Project Tracking
(software continues to track)
Our project management software helps us efficiently manage the project before , during, and after construction. On the off chance that you have a need for service after the project is complete, simply login to the app , snap a photo of the area of concern, and request service. Its that easy!
3
Maintenance
(through life of home)
Beyond the 1 year warranty we offer scheduled inspections and maintenance to easily keep your home looking and performing its best. No one knows your home better than we do.
4
Seamless Management
(from beginning to end)
Building your dream home can stressful if the communication between the designer, builder, and owner is not managed well. What separates Krewe Construction from most builders is that we manage a project from design to preservation so that you have one point of consistent contact for the life of your home.
