How to Make the Best of Capital Projects

by ApartmentsCommercial Constructioncommercial renovationCondo ConstructionEventsProperty Managerssuburbs

Everyone has a need for subcontractors when they are considering a capital project. Although they have been around for years, contractors have become more specialized due to the advancements in construction and technology. With new companies springing up all the time there is always a need for qualified subcontractors in your area. Landmark Associates—an award-winning construction and renovation firm based in Boston’s Metro West—has recently formed a strategic partnership with Caliber Painting, a professional commercial painting company. Landmark is excited to be able to provide our clients with a more robust way to handle capital projects—from the exterior to the interior.  Our goal is to make organizing and completing projects easier for everyone involved.

Benjamin Seeley, President of Caliber Painting, and his team are experienced commercial painters with years of experience under their belts. With this strategic partnership, Landmark Associates can provide the project management and completion services for construction projects ranging from residential apartment buildings to industrial facilities. As a Landmark Associates client, you will have the flexibility to consider new construction, expansion, renovation, or replacement project for an existing facility or facilities, knowing that we have a full range of contractors and subcontractors– like professional painters, at our fingertips.

Up Your Game

When you complete a challenging job, the rewards can be enormous. You can build your confidence and earn the respect of your colleagues and clients when you work with us to complete projects quickly and efficiently from start to finish. But if you do not identify the right contractor and engage them effectively before you begin working on your project, you will not complete it on time or adequately. You will not get the job done on time or within budget. You could even end up losing money on the project because you engaged the wrong person.  

We look forward to introducing you to Ben Seeley, the President of Caliber Painting, to see how the Landmark team and Caliber Painting can collaborate with you on getting your next capital project started and completed on time and on budget. And to further up your game, we’d also like to give a shout-out to the MAA Expo taking place at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston on Wednesday, September 15th. Stop by the Landmark booth there and join over 1,000 property management professionals who manage, develop, own and/or support 175,000+ units in Massachusetts for the MAA’s largest gathering of the year! Let’s work together on how to execute the best capital projects from start to finish.

The Landmark Team is involved with a number of industry associations including the Builder’s and Remodeler’s Association of Greater Boston, the National Association of the Remodeling Industry and Community Associations Institute (the association for condominium property managers). Not only is networking an important part of building our business, but we see these associations as a way to learn from our fellow builders and remodelers. These are the “best and brightest” in our local industry!

It was an honor last week to be presented with the New Member of the Year Award from the Builder’s and Remodeler’s Association of Greater Boston. The award was presented during their annual gala dinner at the Weston Waltham-Boston. Congratulation to all the winners!

Landmark Associates WINS Contractor of the Year Award!

by EventsTips for Homeowners

The Eastern Massachusetts Chapter of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (EM NARI) awarded Landmark Associates and KitchenVisions the 2017 EM NARI Contractor of the Year (CotY) Silver Award in the category of “Entire House Remodel – Under $500,000” The Landmark team is THRILLED!

Tony Chiarelli, owner of Landmark Associates, and Jodi Swartz, owner of KitchenVisions, at the 2017 Contractor of the Year Awards.

The award was in recognition of our work remodeling a Brookline home after it sustained significant water damage and needed a complete gut-renovation. We partnered with Jodi Swartz, owner of KitchenVisions, who designed the kitchen and bathrooms. The homeowners recognized that, beyond fixing the extensive water damage, this was an opportunity to bring their very dated home out of the 70s. Check out all the before and after pictures on HOUZZ or read our blog HERE to learn more about the story behind this massive remodel.

The kitchen is nearly unrecognizable after the remodel.

Landmark was presented the CotY Award at EM NARI’s Evening of Excellence event on Wednesday, March 29th at the Clarke Showroom in Milford, MA.  This year, there were 100 projects submitted for CotY Awards across nineteen categories. A panel of eight independent reviewers judged the project entries in a blind evaluation. Projects were judged on a 70-point scale with points awarded for how well the project met the client’s needs and enhanced the functionality and aesthetics of the space, innovative uses of materials and methods, the ability to overcome obstacles creatively, the craftsmanship displayed in the work, and the presentation of the project.

Landmark Associates is a member of EM NARI, a non-profit membership association dedicated to advancing quality in the professional remodeling industry.  Comprised of over 200 local companies representing nearly 1,000 area professionals, EM NARI is a recognized source for information about residential remodeling and local professionals.  For more information about EM NARI and the CotY Awards, visit www.emnari.org.
