Our Home Remodeling Process

 

Step 1: Think Outside the Box

We’ll review your list of priorities, goals and dreams for your home. We will also perform research on your existing home and required building and zoning codes.

We will draw 3 potential concepts for your new spaces that show 3 different price points within your budget. At the end of this stage we’ll pick 1 concept to move into detail design.

Step 2: Details, Details, Details

This is where the design gets fine-tuned and the details and finishes start to emerge! The design drawings grow into 3-dimensional representations of the scope of work. Interior renderings show the finished vision coming to life.

The result of this step is a clear vision of your project, with a straightforward scope of work and budget.

Step 3: Trust is Built

As construction on your home begins, we’ll work efficiently, meeting with you on a regular basis and completing your project on-time and on-budget to give you peace of mind.

Home Remodeling FAQ

  • Our design build process provides a one-stop solution for homeowners looking to remodel, build additions, or construct a new home from the ground up. We manage your entire project from start to finish. Design build offers many advantages including:

    Improved cost control - Our designers and construction teams work as one unit avoiding unnecessary and costly mistakes that are all too common in a traditional remodeling project.

    Less waiting - By managing both design and construction, we create a faster and seamless transition from the design phase of your project to construction.
