How We Help You Plan the Perfect Build

Building or renovating a home can be one of the most rewarding experiences. Unfortunately, it’s common to hear about projects that have not gone well. These jobs cause the owners all types of stress and can be totally avoided with proper planning and communication. More often than not, the stress is caused by budget concerns. Either the original budget was incorrect from the start or what often happens is the level of materials quoted are not what the homeowner was envisioning.

We have a very different approach. We would much rather spend the extra time up front doing detailed quotes, reviewing specifications and fine tuning to all of our clients’ requests. We do this through a Design and Estimation contract. This is a contract that we enter into with a potential Client at the very beginning of a project. This contract allows us to put together a detailed set of project drawings including all of the items the client is expecting. We feel that the additional cost of thorough and detailed construction drawings up front will save the Client thousands of dollars over the entire project, helping to prevent last minute changes after the construction process has started.

We also put together a full set of firm quotes from our Sub Trades, so the actual construction costs can be verified to be within the Client’s budget. Once we have compiled the information we then meet with the Client to review the final drawings, review the firm quotes, and discuss the construction. If the Client approves the construction costs, approves the drawings, and requests us to start the construction, we will then enter into a construction agreement. If the Client changes their mind we offer them a gift card and move on to the next project. We find this is the best approach to make sure our Clients are happy with our process, comfortable with the costs and the finished product before they even start the construction process. We find that clear accurate information, upfront and honest communication, and detailed drawings are the way to have every project go smoothly and give our clients the positive experience we all hope for.
