When we started our construction business, we were very fortunate that our supplier, Cal-Ply of Redlands, totally supported us 100%. The people there "took us under their wings" and taught us so much.
The paperwork involved in construction contracting is overwhelming, to say the least. Many thanks to Bob Baxter, Cathy Northcutt and Barbara Walker, for showing us the processes involved with generating preliminary notices, which release to use when, etc. We truly believe that we would not be in business today if it were not for their help, and the rest of the people at Cal-Ply.
This website is a means of passing on what they did for us, and what they continue to do for us to this day. We have taken experiences of ours (some quite painful), as well as those experiences of other Contractors willing to share their stories with us, and we are using them to write, what we hope to be, a practical guide for any Contractor.
