Hofmann is a customer intimate company, we build relationships with our clients and we go to great lengths to work closely with them and maintain architectural continuity and balance throughout the design and construction process . We guide our clients through the entire selections process so that all of the finishes and products to be used in the construction project are selected prior to construction. We help our clients through this process to avoid the last minute decisions and changes that plague and slow down most construction projects. We spend the time before the job starts to develop answers to the plethora of questions and issues that otherwise disrupt and delay the project schedule. Job site meetings are a regular part of an HDB project, where the construction team reviews drawings, material selections and the schedule with the client prior to each phase of construction. Our employees are trained to work as teams and to be responsible and courteous while working in a client's home. The staff is made up of a team of highly trained and experienced project managers and in- house carpenters. All Hofmann employees have a minimum of ten years of specialized remodeling and home construction experience. Our project managers each have over twelve years of field experience.
