Process

Our systematic approach to custom builds and remodels is simple, clear and streamlined.

1. Project Development Phase

Start Your Project

The first step is to complete our New Project Form.

From there, we review your information to determine if we are a good fit and reach out to discuss your project in more depth. This is a chance to get to know each other and your property.

Construction Plans & Permits

Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining a rough concept, we’ll connect you with trusted designers/architects that fit your vision and style. We work with you and the design team during the planning stage so that your design matches your budget.

Proposal

Once your plans are finalized, we will put together a proposal with a detailed cost-to-build estimate. Learn more about our pricing structure and construction costs.

Contract

If you choose to work with us, we sign a contract and a retainer is collected to kick off the next phase.

2. Pre-Construction Phase

This phase occurs after your construction drawings are complete and before construction begins. It is the process by which your construction plans are converted to a project plan. It's also when we solidify the scope of work, collect costs and finalize the cost-to-build estimate.

Some of the main action items during the pre-construction phase include:

reviewing the construction drawings again and again, and again.
conducting client meetings and asking a lot of questions.
mapping out the entire project by itemizing the scopes of work for every trade
meeting with subs to go over the project in depth
preparing bid packages for subs and suppliers
reviewing all bids and determining the various subs to hire
assisting you in making selections via our Selections Worksheet
shopping for selections
performing takeoffs for all the materials needed in the project
setting up the project in Buildertrend
plugging all costs into final cost-to-build estimate

No construction happens on the job until the pre-con phase is complete and you have reviewed the final cost-to-build estimate. If all looks good, we convert the estimate to our budget. You pay a deposit for construction costs and this officially kicks off the construction phase.

3. Construction Phase

During construction, we execute the project plan, focusing on communication, budget, timeliness, and quality:

Trade coordination
Purchase Orders
Scheduling
Accounts Payable
Lien waivers
Actuals vs Budget / Variances
Inspections
Onsite meetings
Client communication
Plan review
Material handling
Quality control
Troubleshooting
Change Orders as needed

At the end of this phase, your project is complete and has passed final inspection.

4. Post-Construction Phase

After construction, we focus on concluding the project to ensure complete satisfaction.
