You Have a Renovation Project, but You Live Out of State: How Great Northern Builders Keeps You Connected

Many homeowners we work with have a renovation project, but they worry about launching into the work while they are living far away. If you live out of state, you might wonder: How can I stay in control? Will I miss important decisions? At Great Northern Builders, we make it easy for out-of-state homeowners to stay fully informed and engaged throughout the remodeling process.

Renovation Project Management

Living on site during a renovation project is challenging for homeowners, especially now that more and more people work from home. Using our project management software, JobTread, clients don’t need to live on site to stay connected to the work.

Homeowners can track details of their project quite easily. Each of our project managers are trained to complete a daily update for each project including photos and description of the work completed each day. Homeowners can also review the project schedule, make final product selections, and review any documents, from the same portal. One of the best parts of using JobTread is that the whole team stays in communication for the duration of design and construction. also lets you leave questions, notes, or approvals directly in the platform, keeping communication clear and organized.

Meeting Virtually During Your Renovation Project

We also provide virtual meetings and walkthroughs for clients who can’t be on-site. Whether it’s reviewing a kitchen layout, approving a countertop choice, or walking through a finished space, our team can guide you virtually and answer questions in real time. You’ll feel as if you’re right there with us, even from miles away.

Detailed Scopes of Work for your Renovation Project

Modern tools like project management software and virtual meetings and walk throughs work well only when we have a great scope of work for your project. Working with Great Northern Builders through our detailed estimating phase, we spend the time to create a detailed design and scope of work so that we remove as many unknowns as we can before we ever begin work.
