How We Work

Our Process

Eight steps, documented at every stage. You should always know what is happening and what comes next.

Step by Step

From First Call to Final Walkthrough

01

Consultation

We meet, in person or by video, to understand the project, the property, and what you are trying to accomplish. No charge, no obligation. If we are not the right fit, we will say so.

02

Feasibility & Preliminary Budget

Before anyone signs anything, we verify what is actually allowed on the property and give you a realistic cost range. This is where projects that do not pencil get identified, early, while it is still cheap to find out.

03

Design & Documentation

We develop or review plans with your design team, with real-time cost feedback so the design stays inside the budget rather than needing to be redrawn after bidding.

04

Detailed Proposal

You receive a written scope of work and a line-item budget. Not a lump sum. You see what each element costs and what is and is not included.

05

Permitting

We submit plans, respond to plan check corrections, and manage agency coordination. Timelines vary significantly by jurisdiction, and we tell you what to realistically expect in yours.

06

Construction

We break ground and run the schedule. You receive regular progress updates with photos. Change orders are priced and approved in writing before the work proceeds.

07

Final Walkthrough

We walk the finished project together and build a punch list. The project is not closed out until every item is resolved to your satisfaction.

08

Warranty

Our workmanship warranty begins at completion. Manufacturer warranties on installed materials are documented and handed over to you.

Communication

What You Can Expect From Us

Written Scope

A documented scope of work before construction begins. Anything not written into the contract is not assumed to be included.

Line-Item Pricing

You see the cost of each component rather than a single lump sum with the markup buried inside.

Approved Change Orders

Changes are priced and signed off before the work happens. No surprise line items at the end.

Progress Updates

Regular updates with photos so you know where the project stands without having to chase anyone.
