Chesterfield homes and this kind of project
Our first visit for a multi-trade project in Chesterfield is spent on scope, budget, existing conditions and which approvals apply, which tells us how large 1970s to 1990s two-stories and newer estate homes to the west were put together.
The housing stock here: large 1970s to 1990s two-stories and ranches in established subdivisions, with newer estate homes to the west.
Most projects in these homes are straightforward to plan, which makes fixed-scope pricing reliable.
What we find inside Chesterfield homes
These houses have good size and dated layouts: a closed kitchen, a sunken family room, a wet bar in a closet. Leveling floors, opening walls and re-planning the kitchen are routine.
A whole-home update in a Chesterfield house from this period is mostly about finishes and layout, since wiring and plumbing are modern. That keeps cost per square foot lower than in older homes, and the result feels like new construction.
What is included
We give Chesterfield clients a weekly update covering what was completed, what comes next, which decisions are needed from you and where the budget stands.
We take on multi-trade project work across Chesterfield, from Chesterfield Valley commercial district to the Wild Horse Creek Road corridor and neighborhoods off Clarkson, Baxter and Olive.
What we watch for
Following storms, out-of-town crews canvass Chesterfield neighborhoods. Check that any contractor has a local address, insurance you can verify and references nearby before signing.
Site logistics matter: Chesterfield has generous, rolling lots with mature trees, so we agree with you where whichever licensed trades the work needs, under our supervision will park, store material and carry out debris.
Permits and approvals in Chesterfield
Chesterfield's planning department together with the St. Louis County permit process is where we file for a multi-trade project in Chesterfield, and the job will see every inspection the scope requires, scheduled and attended by us.
Since this work shows from outside, also plan on subdivision trustees. We prepare that submittal alongside the permit.
Schedule and getting to you
Plan on a schedule set in writing with the proposal of site work for a multi-trade project in Chesterfield, once permits and materials are in hand.
Chesterfield is down I-64 and over the Daniel Boone Bridge, just under half an hour from our Wentzville base. We plan crew days and deliveries around that drive so you get full working days on site.
What our general contracting looks like
Photographs from jobs we have built. We do not label photographs by town, so these may or may not be near Chesterfield; they are here so you can judge the standard of finish before we meet.
What moves the price in Chesterfield
We price general contracting in Chesterfield from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.
- How many decisions are settled before the start. Late changes are the most expensive kind.
- Scope and how complex it is.
More detail
Our step-by-step method for this work, and the factors that move its price, are laid out on the main general contracting page. More about the area is on our Chesterfield page.
General Contracting in Chesterfield: common questions
How long does a multi-trade project take in Chesterfield?
Varies with the project. In Chesterfield, permit review by Chesterfield's planning department together with the St. Louis County permit process and material lead times affect the start date more than our calendar does.
Do I need approval beyond a permit for a multi-trade project in Chesterfield?
Possibly. In Chesterfield you may be dealing with subdivision trustees. City or county approval and private approval are separate, and we prepare both submittals and wait for written approval before ordering materials.
Can I act as my own general contractor?
You can. You take on scheduling, quality control, inspections and the risk. For a single-trade job it is reasonable. For a kitchen or addition, most people who try it tell us they would not do so again.
