OUR PHILOSOPHY

Asset Recovery Foundation Systems focuses on quality, professionalism and efficiency. As a design-build firm, Asset Recovery is able to see each project from the preliminary design stage through the installation process. We are able to implement outstanding customer satisfaction using a three step process of planning, communication and follow through.

Every project begins with thorough planning. In this phase, our team carefully examines the unique attributes of your structure and works with the design professionals to customize a plan for stabilizing your structure. Addressing the concerns of homeowners and building owners is our utmost priority. Before the site work commences, our team confers with the property owner, the engineer of record and the insurance adjustor to ensure a comprehensive solution. We prepare a timeline of construction called a Gantt Chart that outlines every step of the project– from start to finish.

Effective communication is a hallmark of our success at Asset Recovery Foundation Systems. Clear understanding of the project’s goals and requirements are communicated with all of the stakeholders. All parties are kept well informed throughout the project. To facilitate confidential and efficient communication, each of our clients are issued a secure access folder on our web site. Access to all project documents is available on the web site, and each morning the prior day’s work summary is posted.

Our carefully planned and well communicated project goals are consistently met with excellent follow through. Every project is executed from start to finish with professionalism and efficiency, and each stage of the project is met with quality control to make sure we remain on time, on target and on budget.
