The Design Build Method
Our client centered process
Pre Construction
Contact us to schedule an initial consultation, after which we’ll kickstart your home remodel project with a thorough initial site walk. Our expert team will assess your property, discuss your vision, and address any specific needs or challenges you may have.
Following the site walk, we’ll craft a detailed pre-construction proposal covering design, engineering, and project development costs for your approval.
Interior Architecture and Design
After accepting our pre-construction proposal, we’ll work closely with you over 8-10 weeks to refine the initial 3D design of your home remodel, ensuring it matches your vision.
We’ll then present the finalized scope of work, schedule, updated designs, and an estimate. Once approved, we’ll provide the final project estimate and construction drawings for your review.
Upon your approval, we’ll proceed to sign the Construction Contract and move forward with the project.

With plans finalized and approvals secured, we’ll begin construction on your home or remodel. Throughout the process, you’ll have a dedicated project manager and access to real-time updates on timelines, budget, and project logs via our client portal.
Our collaborative approach ensures transparency and efficiency, with our team managing quality control while you have the freedom to select interior components like cabinetry, lighting, and finishes.
