Frequently Asked Questions
Do you do design-build projects?
Yes, we are always excited to collaborate with our clients to accomplish their incredible visions, no matter how custom or unique! Because we take the time to learn all the minuscule details of your project budget, timeline, limitations, and goals, we are able to curate a plan built around your personal parameters. Our only real goal with undertaking a project is to ensure you are thrilled with the result, so we accommodate almost any demands within reason.
What sets Konecke apart from other contractors in northern Virginia?
At the end of the day, communication. Sheila Konecke does not sit in an office; she ventures out to meet clients, contractors, engineers, realtors, investors, business leaders, and homeowners, forging meaningful relationships as she goes.
Sheila focuses on the human side of business with an old-school approach that emphasizes growth through mutually beneficial partnerships. She believes that in order to give someone exactly what they want, you must truly understand what that person wants, why they want it, and how they will use it. That’s why she takes the time to build a genuine relationship with everyone she meets, both personally and professionally, and insists on remaining available for 24/7 communication. You won’t find that anywhere else.
Who is the main point of contact on a project?
Not only will you be in direct communication with the team working on your project, but you will also be able to contact Sheila at any point throughout the process. Whether you have larger questions, concerns about your project, or other ideas you want to discuss, Sheila is always available to provide an expert opinion.
Do you offer any type of payment plans?
No, we do not offer payment plans. However, we do take credit cards and electronic payments through our CRM. We can also break your project down into smaller phases to help with budgeting over time. Our team is experienced at developing creative solutions to help you work with affordable project sizes.
Is Konecke Construction licensed and insured?
Yes! We maintain all proper permits and licenses required to perform the work we do, including general liability and workers' compensation insurance in Virginia.
How long does your average renovation project take to complete?
Because there are so many factors involved with any project, it’s difficult to pin down an average time to complete a renovation project. However, moderately sized renovation projects typically last anywhere from 4 months to 1 year, depending on permits involved. Smaller projects, like a bathroom renovation, may only take a few weeks, while larger projects, like remodeling a whole home, may take longer.
Our team works with each client to develop a plan to accomplish their goals within their timeframe and budget, with checkpoints along the way. We are prepared to discuss any unique or challenging projects you have in mind.
How long does your average construction project take to complete?
Much like renovation projects, there are so many factors involved with construction that it’s hard to pick an average time to complete a project. A moderately sized construction project usually lasts anywhere from 4 months to 1 year. Smaller builds, like a guest house, may only take a month or two, while larger projects, like a 5-bedroom home, may take longer.
Our crew carefully considers all the details of your project, including your timeframe and budget, to develop a realistic plan to complete it. This includes establishing checkpoints throughout your project to ensure everything is built exactly as you’ve dreamed it.
What does the consultation process look like?
The consultation process is fairly straightforward, and it begins with a comfortable exchange, allowing Sheila to get acquainted with who you are and how you heard about Konecke Construction. During this conversation, Sheila will ensure your goals for the project are crystal clear.
Next, Sheila will ask questions about the parameters and limitations of your project. It is important that all parties have a realistic understanding of the constraints of the project, as well as how to ensure no unnecessary delays occur.
Finally, Sheila will provide you with an estimate of the project costs and projected timeline, and discuss your next steps.
