Assurity was founded with a mission to improve the experience for all parties in a home improvement or construction project. The truth is that construction projects are complex and can be stressful, especially for busy home owners who don’t have the bandwidth or inclination to look after every detail. And with that, comes risk, including financial, legal and quality of the end result.
So we asked ourselves, how can we help improve the outcome for all participants in a home construction project?
We believe most contractors are honest and hardworking and do everything they can to deliver the best possible results while also staying on budget. And many contractors do just that. But unfortunately, we’ve also found that in order to offer modern transparency and risk mitigation it is a major investment in a companies technology, people and process. And for many, it’s a hurdle they aren’t quite ready to jump.
Therefore, when we formed Assurity, we set out to help Contractors with their transparency and operations, while giving home owners peace of mind as they know they have a trusted facilitator looking after the details. In addition, we needed to make this value proposition financially achievable. And the good news? We can actually save home owners money – by reducing the overhead cost that many Contractors need to charge to offer the level of service we do.
As we set out to define our service and platform, we insisted that we find a way to add value to all parties involved. Any given construction project has many active participants; such as home owners, primary contractors, subcontractors, architects, inspectors, lenders, and owners reps. And they all want the project to be a major success. And forward-thinking “continuous improvement” mind-set knows that there is always room for improvement. This is where Assurity adds value.
Here are just some of the ways we add value to the parties in the construction project eco-system:
Contractors who are:
- Smaller or growth oriented firms that don’t want to spread themselves too thin and therefore strive to lighten the administration burden so they can focus on the other aspects of the project
- Firms that has a strong creative/construction skillset but struggle with back office management
- Firms that haven’t yet invested in technology, people and process to offer competitive transparency and efficiency
Home Owners that:
- Don’t have the time, expertise or inclination to cover all the detail diligence required
- Are uneasy, as they’ve experienced or heard stories of mismanaged or even abandoned projects
- Want to focus on the outcome and think creatively about design and function rather than get bogged down with the details and paperwork
Lenders that:
- Want to add more certainty that their loan is in good standing
- Want to add another layer of protection for their loan customers
Architect / Owners Reps who want to:
- Ensure their customers project is timely and a major success
- Bring their service offering to the next level
- Focus on key value add rather than get hung up on the administrative inquiries and details
