Who We Are
For more than 25 years, Jeffery M. Wolf General Contractor, Inc. has been building and remodeling luxury homes in the Tampa Bay area
Our mission is to provide clients with excellent construction services that include superior and lasting quality of craftsmanship, accurate information during the construction process, informed recommendations on construction systems, and environmentally sound construction practices.
We strive to be aware of the impact our activities on our environment and our resources, and to educate our clients to enable informed decision making about their use of resources.
Our goal is to construct homes and structures that will outlive us and that will be sources of pride and stability for the communities in which they are built.
We Are A
Cost-Plus Builder
Of course we can build anything you want. But, let’s look at the price first.
There are no secrets in a cost-plus format. It’s an open book. We develop a pre-construction budget for your planned home based on the following:
- Bids submitted by our subcontractors and suppliers.
- A projection of our time-based costs such as supervision, site clean-up and safety, utilities etc.
- Allowances for scaffolding, and materials such as plastic sheeting, tape and other consumables used during the project.
Those items are the direct costs of the project. Our goal is to develop a realistic project budget not a low-ball cost to get you in the door.
To the direct cost we add a percentage that covers our overhead and profit. This percentage is agreed upon by you and us before construction begins. We keep strict accounting of each subcontract and purchase order activity. This allows you to track your investment. You will see where every penny is sent throughout the course of the project.
In fixed fee agreements it is not unusual for change orders to be a major profit center. With a cost-plus contract when you request a change we simply document the cost and continue under the same percentage.
