Our Services
When you engage R. Shea Construction Corp., you decide what level of service you desire. It is you and your design teams’ vision that is the driver of the process. We can provide complete construction packages from site development to final cleaning. Our 35 years of experience have come with some well-earned lessons. The importance of process cannot be overstated. In working with hundreds of clients we have found that the earlier a contractor is engaged, the better the outcome. Our comprehensive services include:
Budget
Establishing a realistic and accurate budget early in the process to avoid expenditures of time, effort, and capital. Producing a plan that is not in line with the budget serves no one’s interest.
Schedule
Produce an accurate and detailed timeline of decision-making, materials acquisition, and sequencing to map the entire process.
Concierge Service
Customized service plan to meet the client’s expectations. This plan is based on how much or little the client wishes to be directly involved in the process. We have clients who approve plans and specifications and have very little involvement in the week-to-week operations and others who are very “hands-on”. This foreknowledge of how the process will proceed informs us with time scheduling for site visits, meetings, and direct client engagement.
Owners Representatives
On larger projects, it is critical to have an objective and experienced person who tracks the job and explains complex issues and decision-making trees. We have worked with many over the years, and a good owner’s representative is a key component of a successful project.
Complete Site Work and Landscape Services
The foundations for a successful landscape project start with the site work. We work with engineers who develop site plans and architectural firms that create beautiful landscapes. Our relationships with professional landscape contractors ensure that your house will be extraordinary inside and out.
Historic Preservation
R. Shea Construction Corp. has worked on historic houses throughout the tri-state area, helping clients to restore and preserve the history of their home. Preservation is an art with the need for a keen eye for detail. Our years of experience in this field means that we have developed relationships with experts in all areas of historic home restoration. R. Shea has restored some of the finest homes in the Hudson Valley and beyond, from specialty millwork, masonry, windows, and doors to hardware.
Sustainability
All the buzz in this word means nothing without the knowledge of what a sustainable project looks like. Conservation of resources during construction, detailing the building envelope, installation of the most efficient heating and cooling systems and making sure that our buildings are not only energy efficient but healthy functioning systems is a commitment we take seriously. This makes for a home that is not only comfortable but promotes the health of the owners and the environment.
