Operations / Methods


The firm's current work force consists of 35 full time employees
and several part time / seasonal personnel.

Our team of employees is both diverse and versatile in terms of
skill and craftsmanship ability.Our employees perform general
labor, carpentry, metal work, stonework, and interior finishes.
We take pride in the skill, quality, level and execution of detail of
complex assignments by our craftsmen, who specialize in the
above areas. However we do not undervalue our core personnel
who is entrusted to keeping our work sites neat thus setting the
standard of a clean operation and creating automatically a higher
expectation of quality. Quality is perceived by us as a process. 
Although appearance and function are inherent to quality of the
finished product our supervision and quality control is consistently
applied to all steps of shaping and building our product. We value
and enforce a clean and neat environment as an assurance for
a quality end product. In addition we believe that we owe our
exceptional safety and property protection record to a great
degree in the neat manner we maintain our project sites.

Athens Construction
maintains a daily employee presence in each active construction
site. Our employees are entrusted with providing access to the
project to the subcontractors and maintaining the construction
sites secure. Our project managers spend a considerable part of
their daily task in the field thus providing direct supervision to
the entire field personnel. In each project we assign a qualified
project superintendent who oversees the field operation from
pre-construction stage through the project close up time.

Typical subcontracted tasks include:
Excavation, concrete work, masonry, roofing, mechanical,
electrical /plumbing trades, wallboard, painting and specialty items.

The majority of the subcontractor trades has a long-term relation
with the firm and work in close cooperation and communication
with Athens Construction. In the performance of construction
tasks, Athens Construction goes beyond the mere assignment of
contracts and duties and the supervision of the various trades
and tradesmen employed by the firm.

We are a hands-on operation.

We maintain tight control of the construction process from layout
tasks and trade coordination to ordering and procuring all specialty
items such as plumbing and electrical fixtures, cabinetry and
millwork, floors and wall coverings, finish hardware and all
decorative products.

We achieve tight control and efficiency by holding weekly meetings
with the participation and contribution of lead personnel of all
departments and through the daily communication and updating
of the management team. It is our practice in the advanced stages
of our projects to conduct field meetings on a weekly basis with
the participation of the owner or the owner's representative and
the architect and/or design professional.

POSTCONSTRUCTION SUPPORT

A major characteristic of our operation is our follow up and extensive
service of our projects after they are completed and occupied.
With every project we undertake we also assume the commitment to
serve it for long periods of time extending beyond the typical one-year
warranties in the industry. Excluding wear and tear conditions we
would address and work towards resolving any issues arising after
occupancy until resolved to the owner's satisfaction. Warranty
programs are available and performed by our specialty crews who
have become familiar with the premises from the installation stage
and thus being in a unique position to know the systems implemented
and site conditions. Thus we ensure quick trouble shooting and
rectification of arising problems and minimize malfunctions and
resolving inconveniences to the owner.
