How Great As-Built Surveys Lead to Worry-Free Renovations
On the simplest level, PPM is an As-Built surveying company. That’s what we do. However, what motivates us and keeps us working towards our goals goes far beyond just providing As-Builts. Don’t get me wrong – the WHAT is important. Every company needs a WHAT – in terms of a product or service – in order to get clients and stay in business. But over time, it’s the WHY that keeps everyone engaged and working towards the same goals. The WHY includes things like a company’s Core Values, Mission, and Purpose. At PPM, lately we have been talking more and more about our Purpose and how it drives all of the decisions and actions that we take as a company. What is our Purpose? To help enable “Worry-Free Renovations.”
Our Worry-Free Approach – Since Day One
The concept of Worry-Free Renovations has been a part of PPM’s soul since our founding in 2002, and in fact is the reason why PPM even became an idea and then a company in the first place. This ideal – to have a smooth and trouble-free renovation (remodel, addition, tenant improvement, landscape project, etc.) is something desired by all parties involved in the process. But it remains frustratingly difficult to achieve, as most people who have been through a remodel will attest. Renovation projects by their nature are big, complicated, and messy. Everyone understands this when they decide to undertake one. But what makes a renovation project so frustrating and worrisome is when something doesn’t go as planned. If you’re told a project will take 6 months but it ends up taking 9. Or if a problem is encountered during construction that causes the cost to increase by 20%. That is when the stress and the worry really starts to ramp up.
Start Your Renovation With A PPM Worry-Free As-Built Survey
And that is where PPM comes in. PPM started providing As-Built surveys for a few landscape architects in Southern California for exactly this reason. It was (and still is) a common problem for these professionals to have difficulty obtaining accurate, complete, and reliable site plans that fit the project budget. With a lack of attractive options, they resorted to inadequate “solutions” – such as using incomplete or inaccurate plans, or trying to get by with no As-Built plans at all. The result? Bad or incomplete information that caused delays, cost overruns, plan changes, and other negative consequences. Hardly a Worry-Free experience. PPM’s purpose was to eliminate those problems by giving these customers a much better option with our professional As-Built drawings, thereby allowing them to start off their projects with everything they needed to execute confidently on their design ideas.
Your Renovation Project’s Best Chance of Success
Fast forward 16+ years and that is still exactly what PPM is doing, and the reason why we still exist. The clients and projects have evolved, but the driving purpose of helping to enable Worry-Free Renovations remains the same. As As-Built Surveyors, we sit at the very beginning of the renovation process, so our service can be thought of as the first link in a chain that will extend for many months/years, and will involve many other consultants. We can’t control what happens to the rest of the “chain” after our portion of the project is complete – but we CAN say that we are giving the project the BEST chance for success, the BEST chance to be “Worry-Free”, if we deliver great As-Builts with outstanding service. This is our goal for every project, and the Purpose that will continue to sustain for the next 16 years and beyond.
