Our Process

What to Expect When You Work With the Best

We believe in putting your vision at the forefront of our process.

Initial Consultation

Our process begins with a home visit by one of our design staff. During this visit, we discuss your project goals, desired features, home aesthetic, and budget. The designer takes measurements and photographs and gathers detailed information about your current space. This meeting typically lasts one to three hours, depending on the project’s complexity, and helps create a preliminary design concept.

Concept Design Presentation

Once the initial consultation is complete, we move to step two, where you visit our showroom. We present your concept design and discuss potential costs, then provide a budget with a 10% range to account for final selections and unforeseen details, laying a solid foundation for your project.

Design & Budget Development

In step three, known as the “Partner plan,” we take detailed measurements, examine all systems, and create precise construction drawings. This phase requires a 5% fee of the estimated budget, credited toward the project. Our designers help with product selections, guiding you through the process within our showroom over two to three meetings. We integrate your selections into 3D CAD drawings to help visualize your project.

Review the Details

Step four involves reviewing the final plans and contract, ensuring all details are included. You’ll receive a comprehensive set of plans outlining every aspect of your project. Once finalized, you’ll sign the construction contract, knowing the exact start and finish dates. The 5% design fee is credited toward the project, and a 20% deposit is required to proceed.

Pre-planning Process

Step five involves the preparation and paperwork period. During this stage, we order materials, obtain permits, and prepare detailed schedules for your project. This behind-the-scenes work ensures everything is ready for the start date.

Pre-Construction Visit

Step six is our pre-construction process, involving a home walkthrough by the designer, lead carpenter, and project manager to discuss logistics. This meeting, held about two weeks before construction begins, helps everyone understand the project better and ensures clarity and accountability.

Construction Begins

Step seven is the construction phase, where actual work begins. We start with site protection to control dust and protect your home. The lead carpenter, your main point of contact, oversees the project from start to finish, ensuring daily cleanup and safety. Our team strives to minimize inconvenience, allowing most clients to continue living in their homes during construction.

Our lead carpenters, praised for their quality work, often become part of the family. About 80% of the work is done by our employees, who undergo background checks and drug testing. We also have long-standing relationships with vetted subcontractors who adhere to our high standards.

Behind each lead carpenter is a project manager and production manager, coordinating schedules, materials, and subcontractors to keep the project on track.

Finalization

Step eight in our process is the finalization phase, ensuring the completed project meets our high standards. After you’ve lived in the project for two to three weeks and made the final payment, we conduct a thorough inspection. We’ll walk through your home, check for any issues, and create a quality assurance punch list if needed. Client feedback helps us refine our process, making sure everything is done to your satisfaction.
