Our 5-step Process
Construction projects work best when they are divided into five distinct phases. Our unique process leads you through each distinct phase in an organized and step-by-step fashion.This process will:
-
Guide you through your project in a systematic and cost-effective manner.
-
Address your questions regarding cost, schedule and accountability.
-
Result in successfully accomplishing your project goals, ensure peace of mind throughout the construction period and enjoyment of the completed project.
-
We have found that the most successful and satisfying projects result from coordinating your contractor, design professional, and interior designer from the beginning of the project so that these professionals can work together to develop your successful plan.
PHASE I – FEASIBILITY & PRELIMINARY DESIGN
During our first meeting with you we will review your ideas while giving careful attention to the proposed site, scope of work and budget. The outcome of this meeting will be an understanding of the feasibility of the project and consideration for selection of design professionals. Throughout this phase, we will:
- Establish client file
- Review scope of work and assess feasibility
- Contract for preliminary services
PHASE II – PRELIMINARY DESIGN, SPECIFICATIONS, BUDGET REVIEW
In this phase, the design professionals are selected, the Conceptual Plan is developed and reviewed with you, the preliminary budget is reviewed, and your level of finishes is addressed.
You and your design professional will receive our Vendor List and Product Selection Outline which will assist you in making your selections of materials, appliances, paint colors and more.
The engineer and key subcontractors are consulted for input, including value engineering, on the preliminary design. During this phase we will:
- Research and document existing site conditions
- Select and retain design professionals – prepare the conceptual plan – prepare the selections itemization
- Review the conceptual plan, the preliminary product selections and preliminary budget
PHASE III – FINAL DESIGN & CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
This stage is often the most exciting because working drawings can be completed and final contract documents prepared. The construction commencement date is set and final preparations are made for construction to commence. During this phase, we will:
- Finalize design, material selections and construction documents
- Finalize budget and execute the contract documents
PHASE IV – CONSTRUCTION
Though breaking ground can be an exciting step, it takes the first three phases to successfully and smoothly get to this point. During this phase we:
- Prepare and submit permit documents
- Present the construction schedule
- Hold weekly construction progress/planning meetings with the client
- Complete construction on time and within the budget
PHASE V – POST CONSTRUCTION
The production personnel insure that the scope of work we set out with you in Phase I has been successfully completed according to the final agreement.
- Fit and finish are verified at one-month and eleven-month walk-through
- Satisfaction survey is presented
