IT TAKES TEAMWORK | Our Trusted Trades People and Consultants

The three job supervisors have been with Kodiak Construction for many years with low turnover among the other carpenters on the crews. I attribute this to treating them fairly with good pay, medical insurance, and retirement benefits. The end result of this treatment is loyalty and professionalism towards their jobs. Reliable crews, led by a qualified supervisor, are at the core of a successful project.

Most construction projects, however, are not just completed by a couple of carpenters, but require a long list of trades people, professional consultants, and city officials. As a general contractor, Colin Zak coordinates these various functions and keeps the project running smoothly and on time.

Kodiak Construction coordinates the following participants and functions:

Design

  • Architect
  • Interior designer
  • Structural engineer
  • Soils engineer
  • Energy consultant
  • City design/plan checkers

Construction

  • Carpenters
  • Electricians
  • Plumbers
  • HVAC installers
  • Low voltage electrical contractors
  • Flooring installers
  • Painters - interior and exterior
  • Cabinet makers
  • Window and door manufacturers
  • Various material suppliers
  • City building inspectors

Successful coordination of these functions requires not just project management skills, but detailed knowledge of construction. Having ongoing relationships with these participants helps Kodiak Constructions get the best value from sub-contractors and suppliers.
