Pencor serves as your commercial general contractor from the first established set of drawings through certificate of occupancy. Bring your architect’s plans, and we take it from there with one team managing every phase and one price you can count on.
Pencor’s general contracting process runs in three stages: we price from your drawings and commit before a trade is on site, we manage every phase of the build as your single point of accountability, and we don’t close the project until the punch list is clear and occupancy is in hand.
Tell us what you have and where your drawings stand. We’ll give you a committed number before the first trade is on site.
One point of contact from the day we receive your drawings to the day we hand over the keys. No handoffs to subcontractors, no referrals to the field team, no gap in accountability between whoever bid the job and whoever is running it. When something needs an answer, there’s one number to call and one team responsible for the outcome.
An architect designs the building as it should work. Our job is to build it the way the field actually allows. Before groundbreaking, we review your drawings for details that look right on paper but create conflicts during construction, and bring them to your design team while there’s still time to resolve them at no cost. That review is standard on every general contracting project we take on.
Construction encounters things the drawings didn’t anticipate. What separates contractors is whether they tell you when it happens or hand you a change order after the decision is already made. We identify the issue, bring you the options, and get direction before the field moves forward. You stay in control of the decisions that affect your budget. We stay accountable for executing what you approve.
Case Study
The Pea Ridge Community Center was a public facility Cherokee County had committed to delivering. Construction was underway when a structural investigation revealed a problem no one had planned for: the existing structure wasn’t going to hold. Repairing it, under the original design, would have cost more than the entire project budget.
Property owners, developers, and county governments from Alpharetta to Athens, Cherokee County, and Dawson County share what it’s actually like to work with us from the first set of drawings to the final walkthrough.
What stage should our drawings be at before Pencor submits a bid?
Pencor bids from an established set of drawings complete enough to accurately scope and price every trade. If you’re not sure whether your drawings are ready, bring them in and we’ll tell you what we need before committing to a number.
Is the price Pencor commits before construction the final number we’ll pay?
Yes, if scope doesn’t change. If something unexpected surfaces during construction, we bring you the options and get direction before the field moves, not after the work is done and a change order is already written.
What happens if a subcontractor on our project has quality or schedule problems?
That’s Pencor’s problem to solve. We manage every subcontractor relationship directly and we’re accountable for their performance on your project, which is why you have one point of contact rather than a list of vendors to track.
Do we need to be on-site or available day-to-day during construction?
No. We run the build so you don’t have to manage it. We flag decisions that require owner input and bring you in at the moments that matter, not every trade conversation.
