Process

Our goal is to provide a uniquely complete design process that allows you to enter the renovation experience with clear expectations. We believe that remodeling—at its best—flows out of a commitment to solve the problems of design and construction before starting the construction work. This eliminates much of the delay and frustration that often accompanies building and keeps the design consistent.

The Design Process

Initial Meeting

We listen to you—what are your dreams, your needs, your timeframe and budget? You want to know if we are a good fit for your project, but more importantly, that it will be a good working relationship. If you agree, we move forward with the Design Agreement. We estimate a budget range with some leeway to make your project exactly as you want it to be.

Design begins

We ask a lot more questions about your needs and lifestyle. We develop concepts looking at the project as you see it, and adding ideas of our own. We dream, draw, think, and collaborate.

Preliminary Presentation

We show you what we’ve done, you tell us what you like. We have a more firm sense of the budget.

Design Development Commences

We fully explore the project, meeting with you a number of times to collaborate on solutions and budget. We know that shopping on your own can be overwhelming with the amount of choice out there so during this phase we take you on a full day shopping tip in which many material selection are made. Artisans and problem-solvers, we thoughtfully work to maximize the value to you while staying within budget.Decisions start to meld, solidify, clarify.

We sign a Construction Contract

We’ve done it! We’ve finalized the decisions, and you know what to expect. Now we order, schedule, and take care of community reviews and building permits.And then we Build. Construction time is reduced because we have done the planning in Design. Doesn’t that sound better than most of the stories you hear?

The Build Process

The Build Team – True Craftsmen

Our Project Supervisors are your first contact once the construction starts. They are working managers, overseeing the work with trade contractors, inspectors, and suppliers.

Construction Project begins

Now your job is to sit back, watch and enjoy. Some things may not go exactly as planned—weather, minor schedule changes—and we work around them. You have made a wonderful investment in a changed quality of life for you and your family, and we are more anxious to finish than you are to have us done! But we are committed to doing it right, and want you to be thrilled with the result for the long term.

Construction Finish

It’s all yours—enjoy to the fullest! We’re still here if you need anything.

Interior Design & Landscaping

Often these ideas grow out of the design/build process, and you may want help to complete our new space, or rethink the landscaping, and we are happy to do it. These are fee-based services, in addition to the Design/Build service previously contracted.
