Approach & Process

Northview Building Group has a proven track record of delivering custom residential projects safely, efficiently, and on time. Our extensive experience in traditional construction and leading-edge building practices allows us to execute projects efficiently that align with our clients’ visions, schedules, and budgets.

Northview implements lean construction methods, leveraging process and collaborative relationships to reduce project waste and providing value at every project stage.

Early planning and active involvement from the management team with the help of key trade partners in the early stages of the project allow us to reduce costs, save time, and deliver a product that maximizes the cumulative knowledge and expertise of the entire project team.

This approach reduces the impact on key subcontractor partners and the local workforce by welcoming early buy-in, active engagement, and aligning key players on schedules and contract negotiations early on to avoid surprises, bottlenecks, or shortages in later critical phases of our projects.

This progressive approach is being quickly adopted by architects, engineers, subcontractors, and clients, who all mutually benefit from the outcomes of innovative team-based solutions and reduced project durations.

  • Our pre-construction processes pave the way for a successful project foundation, starting even before a shovel breaks ground. We are highly regarded for our early understanding of how to direct the effective roadmap of each project, minimizing surprises. We consider this to be just as important as the building phase. Our efforts are rewarded through the following:

    • Initial concept discussions
    • Detailed estimate iterations
    • Early coordination with subcontractors
    • Transparent pricing exercise
    • Creative alternative solutions (Value engineering options)
    • Timely delivery

    Estimating and Scheduling—We begin the process with initial Schematic Design Estimates. This encompasses the initial conceptual design of the structure, taking into account square footage, prominent features, and site considerations. This is typically a process between the Owner and Architect, but we find great value in being involved to provide input and guidance for the design process.

    As the design iterations continue and details come together in the Design Development, Permit Set, and Construction Documents, we continually update our estimates, each time fine-tuning costs and scheduling. With each set of developed drawings, we can assign more accurate subcontractor costs to scopes and establish milestone dates for key activities. This process provides a reliable and transparent roadmap for successful financial planning.

  • With our efficient construction processes, strong track record, and high-quality finishes, Northview Building Group offers clients integrated solutions for all construction projects. We employ a predictable and open-minded approach to the built environment. We maximize the intent of each detail, recognizing the impact each has on the big picture.
