Exciting news! To improve communications and provide for streamlined sharing of documents, photos (before, during, and after a project) and email, we have initiated a new program for our clients (for managing larger projects – not for small repair jobs or minor remodeling.) Our clients will be able to log into this program through our website. (Of course it is not a requirement for your project to be managed this way, if you are not interested in computer communications.)
Our Online job management program includes the following:
Online Scheduling & Calendar
- We can schedule your job online, and you will be able to access the schedule online from anywhere, even from pocket PCs and palms (note: schedules are never exact – but an approximation of the order in which the various portions of a project will occur.)
- Should any changes occur – additions or deletions to a project – we can update the schedule easily, and our clients, workers, and suppliers will be able to see the adjusted schedule, and plan accordingly
- We can more easily schedule meetings, tasks, selection deadlines, etc. and send reminders to you, our clients or our vendors, with automatic email notifications
- The program increases our efficiency in managing your job, thus allowing your project to be more quickly completed, not only saving you money, but saving you some of the stress of living with a remodeling project going on in your home
Online Document & Photo Sharing
- Homeowners are able to access documents, such as drawings, contracts and change orders as well as photos of their job
- Homeowners, as well as Acheson Builders, are able to upload their own photos of the project for the homeowner’s records, and these are easily shared with their friends, to update them on what’s going on in your home – with a simple send-to-friend feature.
- Blueprints, elevations, floor-plans, and other drawings may be accessed and viewed online, in a high-resolution printable format.
Online Change Orders
- Homeowners may approve and decline change orders online
- This helps make it very clear which changes are accepted or not
- Homeowners can view their running total as change orders are accepted
Online Options & Selections
- Homeowners may view pricing and approve options and/or selections online
- Paperwork and miscommunication is reduced, and all information is in one easily accessible place
- Homeowners may view their running total instantly as they select their options
Online Warranty Management
- Allow Homeowners to make warranty requests online
- Manage & schedule warranty requests online
- Integrate with your current warranty provider
- Allow homeowners to approve work upon completion
Email & Direct Text Messaging
- Messages and communications by email or text messaging can all be done from the website, and a record is kept of when the message has been viewed
- Keeps all communication for a particular job in an easily accessed central location
We believe this will be a helpful program and assist in making remodeling and home building more “client friendly.” Let us know how you like it!
