Pre-Construction

We begin with a comprehensive consultation to understand your vision, needs, and goals. This includes:

• Discussing your project scope, timeline, and budget
• Reviewing any initial design concepts or ideas you may have
• Answering questions about our process, pricing model, and approach

Our team works closely with you to refine your initial concepts and establish a clear understanding of your project's foundation. This step focuses on:

• Collaborating with you to identify your base package—what you want as a minimum standard for your project
• Gathering a detailed wishlist, including essential features ("wants") and high-priority enhancements ("super-wants")
• Helping you prioritize these items based on your goals and budget
• Providing estimate pricing for all prioritized items, enabling you and your design team to make informed decisions on final plans

We work closely with your architect and designer to align the design with your budget and vision. Our collaborative approach ensures:

• Seamless coordination between design and construction
• Value engineering to maximize quality and minimize unnecessary costs
• Clear communication of design progress and milestones

Our transparent pricing model provides you with clear visibility into costs at every stage, culminating in the signingof a construction contract. This step includes:

• Line-item breakdowns for all subcontractor and material costs
• Comprehensive cost analysis to identify potential savings and ensure alignment with project goals
• A pre-set initial bid with a contracted fee for any change orders, ensuring that clients are protected from inflated costs during construction and avoiding predatory pricing practices
• Formalizing the project with a signed contract, locking in the agreed-upon budget and scope
