Yelp doesn't seem an appropriate outlet for the raving I need to do about Harvest Construction. Do companies even search Yelp when making GC decisions???
Well on the off chance they do, here's my advice; do as much planning as you can upfront, hire Harvest and then get out of their way. Perhaps it isn't one hundred percent peachy keen rainbows and sunshine on every project. But if there is any possible way the project they did for me could have gone better, I truly don't know what it is.
I was contracted by a former employer to manage the design and construction of a 6,000SF medical device clinic/lab. They wanted to not have to worry about it, and since I held a full-time job already...I needed to not have to worry too.
Enter Harvest, they came to a pre-bid meeting on a less than 70% complete set of plans with a well-thought-out list of questions and budget projections in place. They were among a pool of three and they impressed so much at that stage, final bids weren't even sought from the other two contractors. When full plans were complete, their contract amount was within less than 10% of the projected budget.
About 10 days before the agreed-upon start date, Ross Moffitt contacted me and asked if they could start early. (really?!! a GC starting early!!!!) Away they went. Overall, they improved upon the initial schedule of 3 full weeks. That initial schedule was realistic with reasonable buffers, and they still improved on it.
They asked questions when something was unclear, updated me when needed and were uber-responsive each time I had a need or the owner had a question.
I've been the Owner/s Rep before, I've been the GC before ~ and playing the role of in between, was a complete cakewalk....thanks to the excellent service and construction delivered by Harvest.
And I'd be remiss if I didn't also say this... their Superintendent Tim Branson might be magic. Every visit, every time, at every point during the job...it was actually a clean job site.
Hats off to Harvest! Given the opportunity to work on another project like this, they'll be my first call. read more
