Our Design-Build Process

01

Initial Consultation

Our process begins with a personal consultation to understand the full scope of your remodeling needs. We discuss the project's objectives, your budget, and give you a ballpark estimate. If the estimate aligns with your budget, we delve deeper into our design and construction process.
02

Detailed Design Phase

Based on your inspirations and our measurements, our team crafts conceptual designs. We refine these into final floor plans and detailed elevations, collaborating with any necessary specialists, such as architects or engineers.
03

Product and Material Selection

Accompanied by our designer, you’ll select materials and products. We manage this process using our online system, ensuring selections fit your style and budget. Adjustments are made as necessary to align with your financial plan.
04

Pre-Construction Setup

After finalizing the design and selections, we draft a fixed price proposal for your approval. Upon agreement, we handle permits and order long lead-time items, preparing for construction.
05

Construction Phase

Construction begins with site preparation, including dust and floor protection. Regular meetings keep you informed as the project progresses. Payments are structured according to milestones.
06

Finalization and Quality Assurance

Following construction, we conduct thorough inspections and a final walkthrough to ensure everything meets your expectations. Any outstanding issues are noted on a punch list for rapid completion.
07

Warranty and Project Handover

We conclude with a project handover, backed by a one-year workmanship warranty and applicable manufacturers' warranties for materials.
