Plan
This step is all about preparing for your project. The internet has a multitude of resources that can be used for discovering your likes and dislikes in a remodel or build. Using this, decide on your must-haves for the project.
Your list of essentials will help you create a realistic budget. Some remodeling cost calculators can be inaccurate, so we recommend using this Cost vs. Value report.
Finding a reliable contractor is the most important factor in having quality, timely work. Using multiple sources, such as Better Business Bureau and Houzz, is the best bet for finding someone reliable.
Lastly, plan your questions before calling and prepare to answer some basic questions.
Reach Out
The second step in starting the journey to building your dream is reaching out about your project. You can do this through a form submission online here. Or give us a call at 828-552-3222. From here, we will have a conversation informing you about the type of contractors we are and ask you some questions regarding your project.
These questions are varied per client depending on the initial scope and work. After these initial questions are answered, we determine if the scope of work you are looking for is aligned with the type of work that we deliver. If this is the case, we will schedule a site visit to meet you in person and take a look at the project scope and area.
Uncover
The next step is a site visit at your home for the initial project evaluation. During this visit, we’ll walk through the space together and discuss how you want the project to take shape. We’ll also take photos and basic measurements so we have the necessary information for the Preliminary Cost Analysis, which provides a broad cost range. The Preliminary Cost Analysis is not an estimate, but a conceptual cost model based on similar past projects intended to help establish design-phase budget expectations. More refined cost development is provided in later phases once the project concept is fully defined.
Once the analysis is ready, we’ll meet in our office to review it together and answer any questions. This conversation allows us to explore priorities, consider alternatives, and determine the best path forward, whether that’s moving into design, refining the scope, or phasing the work to align with your overall goals.
Design
Once the design agreement is signed, our designers will begin their work on creating a 3D view of your house and project space. They will be working with you on this step by step, editing and tweaking the designs through a few drafts to make sure both sides hone in on a final vision.
Once you approve of the big picture design of your house, your finishes (allowances) are next on the list. This includes discretionary items like fixtures, countertops, flooring, cabinets, etc. This part of the process is extremely personal and we are here to educate and help you accurately reach the personal design you want.
After a schedule of allowances has been created and agreed upon, our professional estimating team will begin the process of creating an accurate estimation of the cost of your project and prepare a construction contract based on your final decisions on design, price, and allowances.
Pre-Construction
Once all of these decisions are made, and the final proposal has been signed, we will begin the pre-construction phase which includes creating building plans along with a schedule and scope of work for your project that includes everything we have selected in the process from flooring to finishes. One of the services we provide in our work is project management. A project supervisor will be assigned to your project at this point. This person will lead the project and has expertise in all the fields to be able to understand and interpret the initial vision you have made and turn it into a tangible product. BuilderTrend is a software we use for project management. As a client, you will have access to keep track of the scheduling, upload photos, and more.Build
Sit back and relax! Your project supervisor will be in touch frequently to update you on timing, products, and answer questions. The software can also be used as a means of communication. We are here to serve you and make this experience as enjoyable as possible, so feel free to reach out during this process or ask any questions. Transparency is the reason we have such a close-knit bond with our clients.
Finish
Giving back to our clients and community is one of our main goals in business. Enjoy your final product and cherish it! We will stay in touch over time and enjoy clients stopping by the office. You are the reason we exist and we can’t thank you enough!
