Our Process: ADUs, Remodels & Custom Homes in Bellingham, WA

Step 1 Project Development

We start by getting to know you.

• You submit our New Project Form

• We review and then connect with you to discuss your vision, budget and goals.

• We provide a ballpark number for the project you have in mind.

• If the ballpark sounds good and you don't yet have plans, we connect you with a trusted designer or architect. We stay involved throughout the planning stage to ensure your design aligns with your budget.

• If you already have plans, you can send them our way for the next step.

Step 2 Proposal & Contract 

• Once your plans are finalized, we prepare a detailed cost-to-build estimate with line-by-line pricing for labor, materials, and management. 

• We walk you through the numbers.

• If it aligns with your goals and budget, we move forward with a contract.

• A retainer is collected to officially kick off the next phase.

Step 3 Pre-Construction

We plan every detail before building ever begins:

• Review construction drawings

• Meet with trades

• Brerak down scopes for each trade

• Meet with you

• Finalize selctions

• Collect bids

• Materials takeoffs and quotes

• Finalize budget

Step 4 Construction

• Trade coordination and scheduling
