For over 37 years, Canido Basonas Construction Corp has been successfully serving New York and our know how lets our projects stand out from the rest.

At Basonas we tend to each project uniquely, commencing as soon as it is presented to us in bidding phase. After reviewing the drawings and specifications we review the project as it relates to our past experience and we discuss potential challenges. Our primary objective is to provide all of our clients with the best possible service as cost effect as possible.

We make every effort to generate the most competitive prices, but we are aware that we may not always have the lowest bid. We welcome every opportunity to review our bid before the final decision is made.

Once a project is awarded to us we have an inter-departmental meeting. We prepare contracts, pull permits, review schedules and budgets and order materials. With information shared and reviewed between our departments, each project is truly a team effort. In addition, we hold weekly meetings where we review each project in detail. After the kick-off meeting with the architect/engineer, owner and building representatives we are ready to start construction.

During mobilization the crew is familiarized with the existing conditions and potential safety hazards or danger zones. At every project, at the start of the work day there is a one-hour safety meeting held by the crew and site foreman. Material Safety Data Sheets and a safety binder are always on site, along with a first aid kit. All of our crew members hold the required OSHA training, supported and suspected scaffold training certificates as required by the New York City Department of Buildings, City and State regulations and OSHA, on the federal level.

As demanded by the nature of our work we take care to protect not only the people involved but also to protect the building from construction debris and damage. All work areas are protected as required. To identify workers, all field staff wear Basonas t-shirts.

The project manager is a constant presence for each project and will visit the site daily. Our project managers keep detailed field reports, including photographs, summarizing the activity on each job. We keep accurate computer and hard-copy records on the history of each job. Everyone in our office has a company-issued cellular phone and email account to stay connected. We also have a 24-hour emergency line (917-921-0225) in the event that the project manager is unavailable.

Most work comes with a manufacturers warrantee and in addition we offer guarantees for our work. It is our intent that our clients are completely satisfied at the end of each job.
