From Paper to Project: The First 30 Days After Signing Your Build Contract

While signing your construction contract marks an exciting milestone, the next 30 days set the foundation for your entire building project’s success. During this critical phase, Twin Maple Construction initiates multiple essential processes that occur behind the scenes. Your project enters our digital management system, where we coordinate permit submissions, schedule subcontractors, and begin materials procurement. We’ll establish site logistics, safety protocols, and communication channels. Though physical construction hasn’t started, the construction contract process guarantees every detail is mapped out, deadlines are set, and resources are aligned for a smooth building journey ahead.

What Happens Right After You Sign: Scope, Terms, and Expectations

The ink on your construction contract sets several immediate actions in motion. Within 24 hours, you’ll receive a detailed post-contract construction timeline outlining key milestones and deliverables. Twin Maple’s project team begins reviewing your scope documents, identifying critical paths, and establishing communication protocols. We’ll schedule an initial coordination meeting to confirm your preferences, discuss site logistics, and introduce key team members. Our digital project management system activates your portal access, enabling real-time updates and document sharing. This structured approach guarantees alignment between your vision and our execution strategy from day one.

Permits, Scheduling, and Site Preparation: Why You Don’t See a Crew Yet

Many clients wonder why visible construction activity doesn’t begin immediately after signing their contract. During these vital first weeks, our team is busy securing building permits in Abbotsford BC and surrounding areas, coordinating with municipal offices, and preparing detailed documentation. We’re also finalizing subcontractor schedules, ordering materials, and setting up site logistics. This behind-the-scenes groundwork guarantees your project starts smoothly and stays compliant. While you might not see physical construction yet, we’re actively laying the foundation for success through careful planning, permitting, and preparation. Each step follows our proven process to prevent delays and complications.

Setting Up for Success: Communication, Decisions, and Digital Tools

Successfully guiding your construction project requires mastering several key digital tools and communication channels we’ll set up together. During your client construction onboarding, you’ll receive login credentials for our project management platform where you can track progress, review documents, and communicate with your project team. We’ll establish regular check-in schedules, decision deadlines, and preferred contact methods to keep information flowing smoothly. You’ll also learn how to use our digital approval system for material selections and change orders, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks as we move from planning to building.

Managing Risk and Keeping Things Moving Behind the Scenes

While physical construction hasn’t begun, we’re actively managing project risks and coordinating essential behind-the-scenes activities during this 30-day period. Our pre-construction mobilization includes securing necessary permits, scheduling inspections, and finalizing material delivery timelines to prevent future delays. You’ll see our team reviewing contingency plans, verifying subcontractor insurance requirements, and establishing quality control checkpoints. We’re also coordinating with local utilities, conducting detailed site surveys, and preparing thorough safety protocols. These proactive measures help identify potential challenges early, allowing us to develop solutions before they impact your project’s progress.
