Our Design-Build Remodeling Process
Step 1: Consultation and Vision Planning
We begin by understanding your goals, lifestyle, and design preferences. This includes discussing functionality, aesthetics, and budget expectations.
Step 2: Preliminary Budget and Design Retainer
We’ll share an initial budget estimate, then use a design retainer to start the design phase so your project can be accurately scoped, selected, and priced before construction.
Step 3: Design Review Meetings, Walk-Through/Pricing, Firm Contract Price
After design review meetings, we validate scope during a walkthrough, refine pricing, and issue a firm contract price so you can proceed with confidence. No surprises. No hidden fees.
Step 4: Pre-Construction and Construction
In pre-construction, we lock the project schedule, procure materials, and obtain permits, then execute construction under dedicated project management through the final walkthrough.
Step 5: Final Walkthrough and Warranty Support
We review all completed work with you, address final touches, and ensure the space is ready for everyday living. Our team remains available for questions long after the project is complete.
