The philosophy that Brian has always followed is that a remodel project should look like it was always a part of the original house. In addition, he takes great care to leave the job site as clean as possible knowing that people have to live in the middle of remodel projects while they are going on.
As the owner/general contractor, Brian is on the job site everyday. He does not believe in being hired to do a job and then sending subcontractors to do his work. He is there each day to perform the work to completion.

In 2001 the business was incorporated as B.W. Construction, Inc. Brian Welk is licensed and bonded under Contractor Number: BWCONI*990QR.

It is very helpful to have plans already in place, however we can work without plans. We also can draw qualified blueprints for your project.
Almost every job requires a permit, but there are jobs that are exempt from needing a permit. This would be discussed before beginning the project.
Job costs are determined two different ways.
First, the job can be bid. With a bid the cost is calculated using plans, predetermined materials, and estimated labor or time in which the job will be completed. If any changes occur, change orders are made, signed and extra costs are added to the original bid.
The second option is "cost plus". With this option the job costs are calculated only on materials used and labor to complete the job. Then 15% "profit / overhead" costs are added, which determines the total expense of the project. The "cost plus" option is our most commonly used option.
Depending on the size of the job, most will require 25% - 50% deposits. Larger jobs require the initial deposit, with additional payments made each month through the duration of the project.
Only if you want it to cost more :). No, seriously. You can help with demo, hauling, site clean up, and such. When it comes to the professional aspects of the project we tend to want to handle it from there.
