Why do thousands of Arizonans have puddles under their bathroom sinks, windows that will not open and shake with terror when they consider putting their property on the Phoenix MLS? Moreover, what is that smell?

It is the smell of buyers being burned because they failed to secure a real estate inspection. Just refer to the New York Times article of August 15, 2006, When Elevators Fail, City Falters for a perfect example of this serious problem.¹ Real estate inspections became a burning topic in Arizona when a red-hot Phoenix MLS combined with the strong sellers markets of 2004 and 2005 caused many buyers to not secure adequate or any real estate inspections.

Real estate inspections and new construction, what happened? Not all construction companies are alike. Many are reputable, paying great attention to detail, while standing behind their work. Others sprung up overnight due to the recent Phoenix MLS boom and employ unknown and unskilled day laborers off the street, while expecting one supervisor to oversee ten to twenty job sites! Forget about attention to detail! Of course, city inspections are required, but they only look for code violations, not shoddy work or outright mistakes. The frightening part is most mistakes can and are sealed into the walls and floors. This leaves buyers to discover major problems later, after the builder is long gone. Your home represents your single largest investment and honest mistakes can happen no matter whom you choose to build with. Protect your investment. Have it inspected.

What is the cost of a real estate inspection?
Typically, between $300 and $600, but the final price depends on size and location. Nevertheless, this initial outlay is worthwhile considering the expense of rewiring or re-plumbing an entire house! Think about this. You may decide to sell your property. Once on the Phoenix MLS, your perspective buyer will certainly order a real estate inspection. A small fee up front, at the time of construction, can prevent the anxiety of awaiting your buyers report and let you negotiate through the sale with the upper hand. Seriously consider it. A relatively small up front expense can let you enter the Phoenix MLS with confidence instead of sleepless nights.

How can you arrange a real estate inspection?
It is easy and most of the work can be done for you! I and agents like me know reputable licensed professionals, who can help you. In my own business, I always provide clients with a choice of at least three honest and dependable inspectors, who have excellent credentials. In addition, I always arrange at least three new construction real estate inspections, a good agent will. The first is of the plumbing before the foundation is poured. The second takes place after the house has been roughed up, but prior to the installation of the walls and flooring. This real estate inspection allows for a check of the studding, plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems. The third real estate inspection is performed right before the buyer’s final walk through. After the third inspection, a list of necessary repairs is given to the buyer, who can discuss them with the builder.

Do not get caught in the current Phoenix MLS frenzy! Be smart and protect your hard earned money with a new construction inspection. Later, when you decide to sell, enter the Phoenix MLS with confidence.

A construction company working for the state school systems hired out a cleaning business that was not union and they did not pay prevailing wage. Would this be something the unions would like to hear about? Is this legal? What if they were paying the people off of the books too? Would the state like to know about this?
What if a prevailing wage was established in the contract?

I am doing an assignment for by Business Law class and I need to know if the company could file a lawsuit against the company that they hired to do the construction, if they hired a subcontractor to finish the job with out telling them? Is this considered breach of contract? What if the subcontractor did a poor job, is the construction company reliable for the subcontractors performance? I believe I know the answers to these questions, I just want to be sure. Thanks

Whether you’re looking to add functionality and beauty to an empty space or to fix eyesores from an old design, you need to hire a professional. Landscape design and construction is just as important as that of a home or building. It can increase the value of your property dramatically if it’s done correctly. That’s why choosing the best AZ landscape construction company is crucial.

Many times, your landscaping is the first impression people get when they see your home or business. A professional landscape designer will work with you to assess your entire property from front to back, and then provide you with a design that makes everything flow perfectly.

Here are some tips that will help you to avoid choosing the wrong AZ landscape construction company:

A landscaping company or contractor can provide a variety of services. Make sure you choose a professional AZ landscape construction company that will be able to provide all of your services at one time. Having more than one company work on the same project can become confusing and expensive! It’s best to find one company that can do it all – it will save you money and bring continuity to your project.

Be sure to do your research before you hire a professional AZ landscape construction company. There is nothing worse than hiring someone you know nothing about. Taking a shot in the dark like that on a project that can have so much impact on the value of your home and property is a huge risk that you can definitely avoid. Just ask around!

There are many ways to research landscapers. Most AZ landscape construction companies can be found online and have user reviews or client testimonials. Ask your friends, family and neighbors who they would recommend. Did you know that over 40% of landscapers or landscaping services are chosen based on referrals?

If you’re having a hard time finding information, you can ask the company directly. Get at least 3 references from them. They should be able to provide pictures or addresses of the properties on which they have done work. You’ll be able to see firsthand the quality of work if you drive by the location. You might even be able to talk to the property owner and ask questions about the quality, their level of satisfaction and whether the project was completely in a timely manner. Do your homework before you hire and it could save you from costly mistakes.

Another great way to check up on a professional AZ landscape construction company before you hire them is the find out if they have received any special awards or recognition. Often, really good landscape designers will have received an award at some time during their career and that’s definitely a testimonial to their skill and professionalism. Make it a point to ask about awards and recognition. If they’re received any at all, they’ll probably be more than happy to tell you about them!

The idea is to have financial and directional control on a large construction project (restaurant/lounge). To avoid being ripped off by construction companies or individuals, I want to set up a construction company that would essentially win the bid and outsource to individuals and companies. Those would all work under the umbrella of my company, and would be payed as technicians who brought their experience. My company would be responsible for procurement of building material and some equipment. What do you guys think?
