ZERO DEFECTS
Impetus implements a “Zero Defects” approach to obtain the highest quality of workmanship and coordination throughout the entire construction process. With the goal of eliminating rework, punch-list items, and warranty call-backs, we commit to doing it right the first time. Our process identifies deficiencies and conflicts on a weekly basis, not after progress and quality of the work has been affected.
