Our design and build process
You have probably thought about remodeling a dozen times already. Here is exactly how a project runs with us, step by step.
STEP 01
Initial contact and survey
You call the office and we take the basics. Then we visit, survey the property and evaluate the house, which takes one to two hours.
STEP 02
Design contract and sketch
We prepare a design contract and a sketch of the project with dimensions and a description of the updates. A retainer applies at this stage.
STEP 03
Measurements and documentation
We gather measurements, take digital photographs and note the challenges, then build floor plans we review with you on a projection system.
STEP 04
Preliminary estimate
Once we agree on the concept we put together a preliminary estimate, and you start selecting finishes and products.
STEP 05
Construction contract and drawings
With the preliminaries settled we sign the construction contract and complete elevations, demolition, framing, electrical and finish drawings. Anything unselected goes into an allowance.
STEP 06
Permits and pre-construction
We apply for the required permits, then our crews sit down together for a pre-construction meeting before anyone arrives on site.
STEP 07
Construction
Our own craftsmen build it, with every component handled to the same standard each time rather than whenever the schedule allows.
STEP 08
Project management
Your project manager keeps you informed, answers questions and makes adjustments as the work goes on.
