Our Design-Build Process

From Vision to Reality

1

Initial Contact

  • You reach out by phone, website, or email.
  • A team member promptly responds to learn about your needs, goals, and initial vision.
  • If we’re a good fit, we schedule a complimentary phone or in‐home consultation.
2

Initial Consultation

  • We offer a free in‐home visit to discuss likes, dislikes, goals, and timeline.
  • We’ll talk about your investment comfort zone and ballpark pricing (often based on square footage).
  • We introduce the Comprehensive Project Evaluation process and outline what to expect next.
3

Comprehensive Project Evaluation

  • We measure your space, document existing conditions, and gather more detailed design preferences.
  • A design interview helps us capture your style, color preferences, and initial layout ideas.
  • We develop a preliminary scope of work and budget range.
  • You’ll then review a concept design, scope of work, and budget proposal so we can refine direction.
4

Detailed Design Phase

  • We bring your vision to life using 2D and/or 3D drawings based on your feedback.
  • Our in‐house designer works with you to select materials, finishes, and layout options.
  • We update the budget proposal to reflect specific selections and a more detailed scope.
  • By the end of this phase, you’ll have finalized product choices and a well‐defined design plan.
5

Construction Agreement

  • We collect final quotations from trade partners and confirm pricing on selected materials.
  • All design details, selection sheets, and the final scope of work are reviewed together.
  • Once everything is approved, we sign the Construction Agreement, which covers all aspects of the remodel—including start/finish dates.
6

Pre-Production

  • We finalize design documents, apply for any necessary permits, and order materials (especially any with long lead times).
  • Our team confirms logistics, ensuring selections and plans are ready for a smooth build.
  • We prepare the project schedule and align our trade partners for the upcoming work.
7

Pre-Construction Meeting

  • You’ll meet your Project Manager to review the detailed construction timeline, site logistics, and day‐to‐day expectations.
  • We’ll answer any remaining questions and finalize communication protocols.
8

Construction Phase

  • We break ground on the agreed‐upon start date.
  • Weekly on‐site meetings track progress, address questions, and confirm next steps.
  • We aim to stay on time and within budget, while maintaining a safe and tidy workspace in your home.
9

Completion & Follow-Up

  • A final walkthrough ensures everything meets or exceeds your expectations.
  • We’ll take professional photographs of your completed remodel.
  • Your feedback is gathered and any last details are handled promptly.
  • Even after completion, our team remains available to make sure you’re thrilled with the final result.
