budget, offer suggestions for space plan-
ning, and then move on to full construction
and engineering drawings. Permit applica-
tions, tendering to trades, managing and
administrating the project, final inspec-
tions and the move-in all fall under Style
Construction’s careful management.
Sloan is first to admit that he’s “not the
cheapest guy out there” and doesn’t com-
pete on price as much as offers a distinc-
tively higher level of service. The goal is to
make the construction process as seam-
less and as headache-free as possible, he
said.
Maintaining a small team allows Style
Construction to run a “lean and mean” op-
eration, Sloan said. By keeping overhead
low, the business is easily scalable and
allows Sloan to take on smaller projects
that many contractors wouldn’t consider.
Larger jobs are just as easily accommo-
dated by hiring additional project manag-
ers as needed. This fall, he plans to hire a
full-time site supervisor to help keep eyes
and ears on each job site; a practice that
separates Style Construction from some
of their competitors.
