For over two decades, ISI-PROPERTIES & Construction has been committed to enriching our clients and acting as champions to achieve their construction needs. As we continually strive to be the service and quality driven leader in general contracting and construction management in Southern California, our talented project team instill our core values and constantly are seeking new ways to delight our clients.
Our process and approach remain the same whether you are looking to build a wooden small deck in your patio or expanding the current square footage of your residence or a custom build residential, commercial and industrial properties, or upgrading building deficiencies. We are a DIFFERENT construction company.
Our strengths are in technical fields, safety and building code compliance. Our workmanship process and procedures are guided by Six-Sigma methodology, which means; we have quality assurance inspection checkpoints for every steps of our development in order to move on to the next phase of construction. We Do Not build track properties and we Do Not share clients’ design or ideas with others. We value clients’ privacy and assure that all designs and detail developments are considered strictly confidential.
You are involved from the start. We are involved beyond the finish.
We Build Efficiently
We effectively coordinate resources to reach scheduled milestones. Our experience in building projects has taught us the complexities of time management and effective planning. Delivering a project on time is as important as delivering on budget. We strive to ensure that we present reasonable, properly planned construction schedules. Our detailed management plan incorporates conceptual and detailed estimating with construction scheduling. From conceptual design to grand opening, we manage the schedule for delivery as promised.
We Build Quality
Quality begins in the planning phase. Our preconstruction input starts with the development of the initial quantity survey, budget and schedule. Each of these elements must be balanced with your needs (operationally, financially, and logistically) as well as coordinated with the capacity of the architects and their consultants.
Construction projects are a team effort. We build quality by first building a team environment based on strong communication and excellent planning. We bring real value to projects though our ability to communicate openly and accurately with our clients and designers. We study options for materials, details, phasing and sequencing to maximize value to your project. Most importantly, we build high quality constructions that truly meet the expectations of our clients.
We Build Value
We understand how important cost is to a successful project. Our projects have clearly defined budgets based on significant research and planning before construction begins. Additionally, we control costs by effective planning and resource management. We work closely with clients to ensure that the planning phase result in effective budgets. We bring all parties together to ensure that all costs are properly discussed in advance.
Our long-term commitment to cost-effective management, combined with our expertise, enables us to deliver projects as budgeted. We are skilled at working with designers throughout the preparation of construction documents to assure compliance to the scope, cost, schedule and quality goals.
We Build Partnerships
We provide complete construction services based on a variety of delivery options, all utilizing a collaborative approach. Regardless of the nature of the project, we can be most effective if included on the project team as early as possible. In this way, we can help clarify project goals and expectations before valuable design time is invested. Often, we even help select the best delivery process for the project, based on our vast experience with a broad variety of options. Most importantly, we understand how to effectively work with others to maximize the results of the project. We can play a variety of roles depending on the needs of the project.
We Build Safely
Construction is recognized by all as high hazard industries requiring every effort to provide and maintain a healthful and safe work place. We are committed to achieving that goal. The safety of everyone at or near one of our construction sites, is something we take very seriously. The value of protecting the life and health of our clients, contractors and employees cannot be overstated. There are great benefits derived from a strong safety culture. Productivity and morale are raised and insurance costs are reduced. Because of the strong commitment of the entire Interact Solutions, Inc. staff, we are consistently rated among the nation's safest general builders.
At ISI-PROPERTIES & Construction, we have laid out a systematic plan. It includes a custom process that will take each client from conceptual design through the first construction phase to the final walk-through inspection where they are given the keys to their new property. From preplanning, preconstruction to construction to post-project review, our collaborative approach, attention to detail and safety helps your project keep a swift and timely pace, while exceeding your goals and expectations.
Quality Checkpoints: For each phase of construction, there are few engineering and quality assurance inspection checkpoints that must be passed in order to move on to the next phase of development.
Preplanning
At the preplanning and preconstruction meeting, you are invited to join our development team from the initial design review through the final review of your property package. Together, you'll verify the design concept, review the blueprints and placement of the property and find out what to expect during the development process.
Soil and Foundation
The first step to building a quality construction is laying the foundation on structurally sound soil. At ISI-PROPERTIES & Construction, engineers analyze soil conditions, ground integrity, government requirements, wind patterns and property size to ensure that a quality structural system is built for your property. At ISI-PROPERTIES & Construction, we use post-tension engineering to help ensure the stability and integrity of each foundation. Before construction commence, the foundation and post-tension engineering are verified for proper squareness, size and compressions.
Lumber Drop and Framing
The frame is the skeleton of your home. Frames can be metal, wooden, cement block or other materials based on specific conditions and design. The framing stage usually takes few weeks to few months pending on design and climate conditions, and consists of the following:
- The walls start going up on the first day of frame start, as the first floor is constructed.
- Once the first-floor walls are up, work starts on the second-floor system (if applicable), using engineered floor joists.
- Roof trusses arrive at the home-site just as work is finished on the second floor.
- Once the roof trusses are in place, the entire roof is installed.
- During the framing stage, there are three separate checkpoints: the frame of the property is checked for correct sizing, squareness and workmanship.
Plumbing and Electrical, Cables
During the initial few weeks or months phase, air conditioning, heating, ventilation, plumbing and electrical wiring and cabling are installed.
- Once the roof is installed, the exterior detail work begins, including trim, windows and doors.
- HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) and plumbing systems are “roughed-in” as exterior trim is completed.
- The electrical system and cables are “roughed-in” during first few weeks.
- Exterior trim is painted as activity continues inside.
- Roofing and the installation of phone, cable and other electrical systems occur simultaneously.
- All mechanical systems are inspected for quality of installation and proper functioning.
Drywall and Painting
If applicable, the drywall is stocked at the property while insulation, gas meters and permanent power connections are installed. It frequently takes a week to hang interior drywall. Next, drywall taping and finishing are scheduled to take couple weeks and blown insulation is installed. After the interior walls are touched up, the walls and ceiling are textured. There are two checkpoints before drywall begins and after its completion: Upon cleaning up any drywall debris, FCMs check all walls and ceilings for finish and consistency.
Final Installations
In the interest of protecting your carpet, hardwood from boots, nails and building materials’ debris and dust, the following action will take place in following order:
- Cabinets are installed
- Appliances are installed
- Door and window screens are installed
- Garage cleaning
- Paint touch-ups
- Flooring is installed
Final Inspection
Upon the completion of the finals, one last quality assurance check is conducted prior to scheduling the property owner orientation.
Property Owner Orientation
The Property Owner Orientation provides clients with the opportunity to become acquainted with their new property prior to moving in. During the orientation, ISI’ Project Manger or Customer Service Representative provides a thorough demonstration of the completed property (e.g., mechanical components, appliances, etc.) and reviews items covered by the warranty.
