Frequently asked questions
What does a general contractor do?
A general contractor oversees the planning, coordination, and execution of construction projects. In Pasadena, this includes managing subcontractors, scheduling inspections, ensuring building code compliance, coordinating permits, and delivering the project from foundation to final inspection. ATP handles all construction phases while maintaining structured communication and oversight.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. ATP coordinates with local building departments to secure required permits before construction begins. We ensure documentation, inspections, and approvals are properly managed to avoid delays and compliance issues.
How long does construction take?
Timelines vary depending on project size, complexity, and city permitting schedules. Most residential construction projects average approximately 6–10 months once permits are approved. We provide realistic timelines during consultation.
Can you work with my architect?
Yes. If you already have completed architectural plans, we can review them for constructability and code compliance before beginning the construction process. If we identify structural or permitting issues, we communicate directly with your architect so they can make the necessary revisions prior to submission or build.
What affects construction costs?
Construction costs are influenced by square footage, structural complexity, foundation requirements, hillside conditions, material selections, and city code upgrades. During consultation, we review these factors to provide accurate pricing based on your specific scope.
