Step 1 - Initial Contact:

Our process begins with a short phone conversation to discuss your ideas, timeline, and budget for your remodeling project.

Step 2 - In-Home Consultation:

If we feel your home renovation project is a good fit, we schedule an In-Home Consultation to help us understand your vision. During the meeting, we:

• Discuss your needs, wants, and wishes for the project
• Review your design ideas, pictures and/or notes
• Determine the scope of work
• Establish a ballpark budget and timeline (these are ballpark numbers, not actual estimates, but will help to determine the target Design/Build budget)

Step 3 - Pre-design Meeting:

During the Pre-design Meeting, we again review all your needs, wants, wishes and scope of the project, having first developed a Design/Build agreement with a fixed cost to build your project. If you approve, we will proceed with the design process and have you sign the Design/Build agreement. At this point, you will have the cost to design and build your project in writing. In summary, we:

• Discuss zoning restrictions and how they will play a part in our design process
• Review our ideas for your project
• Determine the level of detail required from our design team
• Draft and sign the design/build agreement
• Receive a 50% deposit for the design work and engineering fees

Step 4 - Design Stage:

During the Design Stage of your new home remodeling project, we begin to make product selections and decide on the basic design and layout of your project. Additionally, we:

• Provide tasks for product and material selections and completion dates
• Take field measurements for input into our 3-D design software
• Retain an engineer if necessary to complete the structural calculations
• Bring in our trade partners to review existing visible site conditions for the purpose of joining existing and proposed systems as well as reviewing potential problems
• Draft preliminary drawings with our 3-D design software for your review and comment
• Work together with you through the process to develop a plan until you are satisfied

Step 5 - Final Design and Budget Review:

After completing product and material selections, the final cost-to-build will be presented and we will be ready to begin the construction phase. We:

• Complete product and material selections
• Present a complete plan including specifications, plan views and elevations
• Receive the balance of the design fees and project deposit

Step 6 - Project Planning:

During the Project Planning phase, we:

• Develop a project schedule using a Gantt chart to detail construction information, as well as your responsibilities
• Pull all the required permits
• Order the necessary materials

Step 7 - Construction Phase

Construction work will begin and we:

• Complete various phases of construction and inspections
• Schedule site meetings
• Receive scheduled payment draws based on % complete and/or milestones

Step 8 - Project Completion

During the Project Completion stage, we:

• Call for the final inspection
• Perform a final walk-thru
• Receive your signature on the final presentation approval
• Have you complete an optional post construction survey

Step 9 - Start enjoying your remodel!
