What does the Rubicon construction process look like from start to finish?

Rubicon's process runs from initial scope conversation through preconstruction budgeting, permit coordination, full construction management, and project closeout. The team sets up a communication structure at the start of each project so the client knows who to call, how often they'll receive updates, and how decisions get made during construction. The goal is no surprises: either because Rubicon caught the issue early, or because the client heard about it as soon as it surfaced.

How does Rubicon handle changes during construction?

Changes during construction are documented as change orders before the work is done. Rubicon reviews the scope change, prices it, and presents the client with a clear description of the change, the cost impact, and the schedule impact before proceeding. Clients are not presented with surprise invoices at the end of a project for work that happened without their approval.

Does Rubicon help with the permit process?

Yes. Rubicon manages permit applications, plan review coordination, and inspection scheduling as part of the construction scope. For specialized tenant improvements, this includes coordinating with the landlord's engineer, the building department, and any third-party inspectors the project requires. Clients don't manage permit logistics on a Rubicon project; the team handles it.

What happens at the end of a Rubicon project?

Project closeout includes the punch list walk, correction of any identified items, final inspections, certificate of occupancy, final lien releases, as-built documentation, and warranty documentation. Rubicon considers the project closed when the client has everything they need to occupy the space. The team remains available for warranty issues during the first year after completion.
