Alexander Kushner, owner of AK General, received his degree in Civil Engineering in 1985, from California University of Berkeley. He has been building quality Bay Area homes for more than 25 years. His goal is to create houses of quality and substance that embrace the spirit of homes built generations ago.
His reputation for excellent customer service is due to the teamwork he inspires among all his highly skilled craftsmen and loyal subcontractors. He has kept his team small enough to retain quality control and expert craftsmanship that he demands. “Our job is to get it right, the first time, building from your vision and purpose. We will guide you through the many decisions of the project so you will arrive at the best value for your investment. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.” During the pre-construction phase, we pay close attention to: Value analysis: We take your vision and help guide you to decisions that will produce the most aesthetically pleasing project with the best value. On-time completion: We carefully detail the timetable for each aspect of the job, and then dedicate ourselves to sticking with it to completion. Assembling the team: We determine who among our staff of highly skilled craftsmen will be the best fit for each job, and then draw from our team of loyal, highly experienced subcontractors with whom we have a long-standing relationship. Subcontracted work may include work such as excavation and grading, site utilities, floor coverings. We then work with an assortment of vendors to get the best quality and value on such items as doors, windows, lumber, fixtures and tile. Preparing the contract: We analyze all bids for conformance to plan specifications, compare them with budget estimates and review choices for final contract. We proceed to the next phase only when you are completely satisfied. During construction: In addition to the work you can see, AK General works on site and behind the scenes to: • Manage the overall project • Issue subcontractors and purchase orders to subcontractors and vendors • Maintain a safe work site • Coordinate and monitor schedules • Identify and diminish potential delays • Conduct regular progress meetings • Provide continual cost control • Schedule and secure all required permits
