Our Process
Whether you’re building or renovating your dream home the key to success is planning.
We believe we have one of the most effective and detailed planning processes of anyone in our industry. It ensures we’re able to deliver the home you desire, on time and on budget.
Exceeding your expections.
A trusting, collaborative relationship with our clients is important to us as we navigate the planning stage together—and beyond into construction. Ensuring we’re on the same page with regards to project management, communication, and time execution is vital to a smooth project.
Step one
Initial Site Consultation
Step two
Pre-Construction Planning
Once we begin pre-construction planning, you’ll meet with a building designer to discuss options and create sketches of your dream home. These sketches will eventually be turned into building plans.
Early in the process, you’ll get access to our construction management software and app—a portal where you can keep up with all aspects of the project (project schedule, updates, reports, order status, approvals) in real time, from any computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Step three
Budgets & Permits
We will provide you with a feasibility study and report that includes preliminary drawings, specifications sheet, and a project summary. This is comprehensive enough for you to take to a lender for financing if necessary.
Next we provide you with a budget estimate which breaks down the project into sub-categories and provides you with detailed allowances for the finishes you have chosen.
Once approved, we will prepare the construction documents and proceed with the building permit application. We can begin working with engineers on site preparation, such as blasting, geotechnical work, or installing a septic system while waiting for approvals on permiting.
Step Four
Construction begins.
As the building begins to take shape, you’ll start to see our planning process pay off. We oversee all the subtrades and handle all communication with them, acting as your single point of contact. This makes the process simple, efficient and — most importantly — as stress-free as possible for you.
Step Five
Cleanup & Quality Check
Once the crews have all left the job site, we have everything thoroughly cleaned. With your new home spic and span, we do a final, detailed check to ensure everything is move-in ready. We want you to know that you are absolutely in good hands and everything has been taken care of.
Step Six
Handover & Happily Ever After
Along with the keys, we’ll present you with a customized binder filled with information on every aspect of your home: manuals for every component, how-to’s, maintenance logs, drawings and plans showing in-ground infrastructure, you name it: everything you could ever want to know about your new place.
We care deeply about the final outcome of every project we undertake, and we are extremely proud of our track record for customer satisfaction.
We hope you have many wonderful years in your new home and that it suits your lifestyle and family in every way. It’s all there for you to enjoy.
