The Mozer Works Process

The process of engaging Mozer Works, Inc. for a building project is two-fold:

  1. the content is decided, drawn and eventually built
  2. the context of a project in terms of partnership, commitment and communication is defined and executed

The content is demand-driven, defined and articulated in partnership between a client and Mozer Works, Inc. Sound building requires knowledge, skill, vision, and execution; but, it starts with careful design. Mozer Works, Inc. serves its clients best by defining a building/remodeling project within set parameters. Successful projects incorporate well-articulated elements that include tasteful and functional architecture, sound structure, and a well-balanced budget. While not a necessity, we typically suggest an energy audit in order to address energy efficiency shortcomings in your home in coordination with your building project, be it addition or remodel.

While a project’s content is critical, equal importance is granted to the context of a project. Process is given due regard in order to set a successful stage for project outcome. Prior to project start, Mozer Works, Inc. reviews with its clients the “anatomy of a successful project” and the elements of a typical breakdown in the process by addressing both client’s and contractors’ top complaints. Best practices for successful projects are discussed as well as simple “truisms” that will keep your project on track for successful completion and years of enjoyment to follow.

Three interrelated essentials of the process are:

  • partnership
  • commitment
  • communication

Partnership starts with guidelines and rules for clients and builder to establish a basis for interaction. This element is always part of our project design that is often uniquely individualistic to allow for self-expression and participation. Without it, there is no foundation.

Commitment constitutes another pillar of excellence in the execution of our projects and another component that requires client-builder symbiosis. If both parties don’t affirm their commitment to uphold stated goals for timeliness ( be they building stages or payments), production and quality can easily go astray. The better commitment is defined in concrete terms for both partners, the better chance of project success. Again, Mozer Works, Inc. as part of its pre-project inception, brings this issue to the table for the purpose of clarity and seamless transition to full-blown building.

Communication is the thread that weaves together the other elements of project context. When steadfastly maintained and well executed, it engenders an outcome that delights homeowner and nurtures builder’s pride. Mozer Works, Inc. articulates during its pre-project period an agreed-upon framework in which to define and guarantee that this key element is well-adapted and used to move forwards towards project success.

While the building trade is traditionally based upon hard and non-negotiable "deliverables", or the content of a project, Mozer Works, Inc. likes to emphasize equally the importance of creating the context in which projects evolve. That process is part of our pre-project client meeting(s) and is part of our recipe for success. In combination with strong leadership, Mozer Works, Inc. works with its clients to keep project goals tangible and on a track towards completion.

The project context as well as content share equal footing and serves as two pillars of a sound foundation where clients and Mozer Works, Inc. partner to get the job done. As an engaged and participatory client, you can work with us to define and elaborate what our partnership, commitment and communication together will look like as we map out a road towards project success.
