W. Gary Westernoff, CEO

Yes, our founders pledge is “Professionalism, value and a helping hand…my commitment to you! And we never deny help to anyone for lack of funds”. We welcome affordable housing projects, rebuilding disaster relief projects, and veteran housing projects to mention a few. Just Contact Us to discuss.

Absolutely, just complete our Get Free Proposal or Contact Us to discuss your project. We can work with you virtually or on-site. We team up with registered Constructionplace.com Professional Services Providers as necessary.

No, we don’t believe lead generating platforms for building projects offer much value. For example, unless you are in a desperate situation and need emergency repairs or fixes more than one (Preferably three) Service Providers should give you cost proposals or bids for your project. This is called competition which keeps prices fair and reasonable and ensures that you are getting the best value. Also, invited Service Providers can offer different solutions for your project in the absence of good construction documents such as plans and specifications. Not to mention giving you the opportunity to compare Service Provider Credentials and Terms.

These Profiles contain contact information and desired arrangement terms which enables the beginning of a good/open mutual communication relationship with the respective Service Providers. Good communication instills trust and comfort which leads to successful contracts and project completions.

Yes, they can be extremely valuable to the Service Provider Profile owners when using Constructionplace.com because once the profile is completed and made visible to the public it can be edited instantly for all projects it is associated with. The Profile can be shared with by using the My Profile URL on social media, emailed, or included as part of a marketing campaign. It makes it very easy to get invited to join projects on or off constructionplace.com and to create RFPs and Bids because the completed profile provides all necessary qualifying/vetting information.

Service Provider Profiles are important because they contain contact information, desired arrangement terms and credentials essential for making hiring decisions. For example: Certificates of insurance with valid expiration dates are essential before signing that contract. Such information and credentials made available during the pre-planning stage saves lots of time. Service Providers who respond promptly to completing Profiles are looked upon most favorably. And those who introduce themselves with completed profiles are exceptional in our opinion.

Yes, because planning, team building, organization, anticipation, scheduling, budgeting and estimating skills, not to mention good communication, are what save money and time on construction projects.
