What is a design-build contractor?
A design-build contractor like JVC offers integrated services — we handle both the architectural design and the construction phases under one roof, ensuring efficiency, clear communication, and cohesive project delivery.
What makes JVC different from other general contractors in Colorado?
At JVC, we manage every aspect of your project in-house-including design, engineering, and construction. This means you don’t need to hire separate architects, designers, and builders and then try to coordinate them yourself. Our integrated approach keeps projects moving efficiently, improves communication, and helps control costs from the very beginning.
What does “Open Book Cost Plus” pricing mean?
We operate under an Open Book Cost Plus model, meaning you see exactly how your project is priced. Instead of giving you a lump sum with hidden margins, we show the actual costs of labor, materials, and subcontractors, complete with documented receipts. Our fixed overhead and profit percentage is clearly defined up front, so you always know how the numbers work.
Why doesn’t JVC price projects by square foot?
Many contractors rely on square-foot pricing, which can often overprice simple areas and underprice complex ones. Instead, we price projects based on the actual complexity of each component-from framing and structural work to finishes and specialty items. This method often results in more accurate pricing and potential savings for our clients.
Do clients receive vendor and subcontractor discounts?
Yes. Any discounts or favorable pricing we receive from our trusted vendors and subcontractors are passed directly to you. Because our pricing is open-book, you can see those savings reflected in the project costs.
What types of projects does JVC specialize in?
JVC specializes in:
-
Kitchen remodels
-
Bathroom remodels
-
Exterior renovations (siding, roofing, decks, etc.)
We also complete smaller projects when they align with our schedule and expertise.
JVC Construction & Remodeling Services
What types of construction projects does JVC handle?
We manage a wide range of construction services: kitchen and bathroom remodels, home additions, ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units), new home builds, exterior construction (decks, siding, roofing), and commercial developments.
Do you provide both residential and commercial construction services?
Yes — we work on residential homes, vacation rentals, investment properties, and commercial spaces. Our process is customized to each client’s needs and goals.
How do I start a remodeling or construction project with JVC?
Start by contacting us through our website, phone, or email. We’ll set up a consultation to understand your vision, goals, budget, and timeline.
Is JVC familiar with the ADU process if I want to add an Accessory Dwelling Unit?
Yes. ADU regulations vary widely between municipalities, with each town having different requirements for zoning, lot size, parking, and permitting. At JVC, we’ve spent significant time researching ADU regulations throughout the individual towns in Summit County, Chaffee County, and surrounding areas, and we stay up to date as those rules are always changing. Our team can help evaluate whether an ADU may be possible on your property, the benefits to adding an ADU, and guide you through the design, permitting, and construction process.
Does JVC handle the permitting process?
Yes. Because we manage design, engineering, and construction in-house, we also coordinate the entire permitting process. This includes preparing drawings, engineering documents, and submitting plans to the local jurisdiction. Our goal is to make the process as smooth as possible so you don’t have to navigate building departments and regulations on your own.
