Process
& Services
We believe in building lasting relationships through high quality construction.
Our Process
We prefer to work together with our clients and their architects or designers from the very start of the process.Our trusted project managers, carpenters, and subcontractors work as a team along with the homeowner and the architect or designer to complete your project as envisioned. By getting involved early, we can have input for building in a cost-effective and efficient way. If you don’t have an architect or designer, we have many that we can recommend.
We work with our customers on price planning and providing a preliminary cost estimate early in the planning phase. This is important, as costs influence design – a preliminary estimate is helpful to ensure money is not wasted designing things that never get built.
After we agree on a rough budget for the project, the designs are refined, initial material selections made and construction costs are dialed in. If the designs are far enough along we bring in our trusted subcontractors for pricing on their work. Upon reviewing and agreeing on the scope of work, construction documents are drawn up, a final price is proposed, permits are submitted and the contract is signed. Now we work up a job schedule and start building!
