STEP 1: discoverY

Every project begins with a conversation. During our initial call, we get to know you — your goals, your constraints, your timeline, and what success looks like for you. We may perform a detailed feasibility study and follow that with a site visit to assess your space firsthand. We look for potential red flags, dig into any foreseeable construction or budget challenges, and ensure we fully understand the scope before moving forward. This is where expectations are aligned and the foundation for our relationship is set.

With an understanding of your needs and desires, what is feasible on your property, and potential budget … we’ll develop a proposal, meet with you to walk through it, etc. We’ll provide a budget estimate and a detailed contract that … One we align and a deposit is secured, we get to the real work.

STEP 2: PROPOSAL AND CONTRACT

STEP 5: Permit Submission

Once drawings are complete, we compile and submit your permit package. We manage the paperwork, track progress with city officials, and respond to any questions or revisions. We don't hand off files and hope for the best—we follow through until permits are approved.

With feasibility confirmed, we begin the design phase. We collect existing conditions (as-builts), surveys, and develop conceptual floorplans and exterior renderings that reflect your vision. Zoning reviews are performed to flag any permissions or variances required. If your project involves the Committee of Adjustments (COA), we manage that process on your behalf. This stage ensures we’re aligned visually, practically, and legally before getting into construction documents.

Here we translate the vision into technical reality. Our team prepares all required construction documents including architectural plans, structural drawings, HVAC layouts, and detailed electrical plans. These are build-ready and fully coordinated to meet city standards and ensure trades have exactly what they need to execute flawlessly.

STEP 4: Construction & Mechanical Drawings

Step 6: Pre-Construction

Before we break ground, we set the stage. You’ll meet your dedicated production team, review the schedule, and walk through the construction plan in detail. We tender the work to our vetted, insured trade partners and finalize selections for finishes and fixtures. Interior design drawings are completed, and the site is prepared to ensure a smooth start on Day One.

Step 7: Construction

This is where everything comes to life. We build according to plan, conduct daily site inspections, and hold regular status meetings so you always know what’s happening. Budget and schedule are closely monitored, and we walk you through key milestones so there are no surprises. Our site is clean, safe, and run with the professionalism you’d expect from a top-tier builder.

Step 8: Post-Construction

We don't just hand over the keys and disappear. We walk the space with you, identify and resolve any deficiencies, and make sure everything is exactly as it should be. Our team handles final cleanup, stages the space if needed, and captures professional photography for your records. Your project is covered under warranty, and your peace of mind remains our priority long after construction is complete.
