How We Work — Traylor Construction & Development
Our Process
How We Work
A transparent, owner-first process designed to deliver your project on time, on budget, and to your exact vision — every time.
Step by Step
From Consultation to Completion
Initial Consultation
We start with a free consultation to understand your project, goals, timeline, and budget. This conversation helps us determine how we can best serve your needs and whether we're the right fit for your project.
No obligation. No pressure. Just a straightforward conversation about your project.
Scope & Engagement
Once we agree to work together, we define the scope of our engagement — whether that's preconstruction services, construction management, owner representation, or a combination. We establish clear deliverables, fees, and expectations.
Transparent fee structures. Clear scope of work. No surprises.
Preconstruction Planning
Before construction begins, we establish the project controls that will govern the entire build: budget, schedule, contractor selection criteria, communication protocols, and risk mitigation strategies.
The work done here prevents the problems that derail projects later.
Contractor Selection
We manage the bid process — developing bid packages, prequalifying contractors, soliciting competitive bids, and providing objective analysis and recommendations. You make the final decision with full information.
Competitive bidding consistently reduces project costs by 5–15%.
Active Construction Management
During construction, we provide regular site inspections, contractor coordination, budget monitoring, schedule tracking, and owner reporting. We handle the day-to-day so you don't have to.
You stay informed without being overwhelmed.
Closeout & Handover
As construction concludes, we manage the punch list process, final inspections, warranty documentation, and owner training. We don't consider a project complete until you're fully satisfied.
A thorough closeout protects your investment for years to come.
Our Philosophy
Guiding Principles
Owner-First
Every decision we make is filtered through one question: is this in the owner's best interest? We have no financial relationship with contractors or suppliers.
Proactive
We identify and address issues before they become problems. Our clients rarely face surprises because we're always looking ahead.
Transparent
You'll always know exactly what's happening on your project — the good and the bad. We communicate clearly and honestly.
Accountable
We take ownership of our work and our recommendations. When something doesn't go as planned, we own it and fix it.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does construction management cost?
Our fees are typically a percentage of the total construction cost, ranging from 3–8% depending on project size, complexity, and scope of services. We provide a detailed fee proposal after our initial consultation.
Do you work with the owner's existing architect?
Absolutely. We work seamlessly with your design team — architect, interior designer, landscape architect — to ensure the construction process delivers on the design intent.
What size projects do you work on?
We focus on luxury residential projects typically ranging from $500K to $5M+ in construction value, as well as select commercial projects in the San Antonio and Central Texas market.
How far from San Antonio do you work?
We serve clients within a 50-mile radius of San Antonio, covering communities including Boerne, New Braunfels, Kerrville, Seguin, Schertz, and the Texas Hill Country.
Can you help if my project is already underway?
Yes. We can step in at any phase of a project — even if construction has already started. We'll assess the current state, identify risks, and implement controls to get your project back on track.
