Davenport Property Management, a fully staffed division to provide preventative, remedial, emergency and small project management services for Davenport homes and the general residential community.
Construction Management:
For certain custom projects the construction management process will yield benefits for the client. Davenport maintains a full-time estimator on staff and the financial budget numbers are reviewed during the entire building process. In the case of an evolving design/build project, a budget for each phase will be created. The client pays Davenport a fixed fee based on time and materials. Design/build changes can be made during the building process. A review of a project with the architect and client can help decide if construction management is a viable option.
Commitment:
Our staff, many of whom have impressive tenures with the firm, place identical value on the service and care which is at the core of the Davenport promise. You will see this reflected in the many client testimonies displayed on the walls of our offices. We are delighted to continue to provide them the highest quality product and service, with an equally high level of value for their investments - their custom homes.
We are very excited and proud to continue to be considered one of the Gold Coast's "Contractors of Choice". We seek to closely listen to our clients, architects and vendors alike, and have the adaptability and dedication to provide an enjoyable project experience while building a first class, quality custom home.
Davenport Contracting, Inc. began as a family-based, custom construction firm twenty five years ago, committed to individual attention for each project. The "owner/operator" model is central to our vision, meaning that each project can expect direct involvement from the principals, Richard Koch and Brian MacDonald.
This vision of client commitment has grown our reputation significantly while building and renovating homes in Fairfield and Westchester Counties. Architects, owners and professionals have positively experienced Richard and Brian's focus through the design, budgeting, decision making and construction process.
Responsible business practices and integrity, plus the ability to adapt to a client's needs means we offer a "full client care" suite of services, from pre through post construcion phases. Small projects and property management are part of the ongoing relationship that we extend to both our Davenport family of homes and the general residential community.
