Q: Do you offer financing options for daycare construction projects?
A: While we don’t provide direct financing, we work with several commercial lenders who specialize in childcare facility financing. We can provide detailed cost breakdowns and project documentation to support your financing applications and help connect you with appropriate lenders.
Q: What’s included in your daycare construction quotes?
A: Our comprehensive quotes include all materials, labor, project management, permit fees, and regulatory compliance costs. We provide detailed breakdowns so you understand exactly what’s included. Our transparent pricing eliminates hidden costs and surprise expenses.
Q: When do payments become due during the project?
A: We work on a progress payment schedule tied to construction milestones. Typically, payments are due at foundation completion, framing completion, mechanical rough-in, and final completion. This protects both parties and ensures steady project progress.
Q: Can construction continue during winter months in Calgary?
A: Yes, we build daycare centres throughout the year in Calgary. Construction during winter can entail extra care and heating on the short term, and we consider this when we project and estimate the cost of the project. We have trained crews who can deliver in any weather.
