Our Process for Renovation & Remodeling Projects
Our team will guide you through the following process to ensure a smooth and satisfying experience from end to end.
Initial Consultation
We meet with you in person to discuss your vision for your renovation project and elevated lifestyle. We’ll take time to introduce you to our company and our process. We begin the process of prioritizing and documenting your needs. The consultation is a service provided at no cost.
Renovation Design
We partner with a curated network of designers to guide you in the design and decision making process. For larger renovations, we’ll complete a set of plans. At a minimum, we need a high-level, documented scope to provide you with a written estimate. Please note, if design services are required, services are provided for an agreed upon fee.
Estimation
With an initial scope defined and with designs completed (if necessary), we’ll provide you with a written estimate for your project. We’ll modify the scope and estimate through a collaborative process until you approve of the estimate.
Service Project Contract
With an estimate approved, we’ll execute a lightweight contract to ensure mutual understanding of scope, schedule, conditions, payment milestones, and other terms. Our renovation contracts are cost-plus or fixed fee, depending on the nature and definition of the project.
Project Planning
With a contract executed, we finalize and present your project plan. For smaller projects, this project plan may be a bulleted list of key dates, dependencies, and milestones. For larger projects, we’ll provide a detailed project plan.
Elevated Renovation Experience
We maintain consistent and clear communication throughout the renovation process. Our goal is to deliver renovation projects on time and within budget while allowing flexibility within the overall plan for a homeowner’s creative decisions. We aim to accommodate creative changes within a proposed timeline and cost, though some decisions will impact the overall timeline and cost. We’ll clearly communicate these impacts.
Closing Walk-Through
At a minimum of one week prior to finishing your renovation project, we’ll conduct a pre-final walkthrough. Just prior to completion, we’ll conduct a final walkthrough to verify any punch list items have been completed, ensuring you’re pleased and satisfied with the finished project.
Lifelong Clients
We provide a positive building experience, and we strive to continue to service our clients through our multiple construction divisions. We often have the pleasure of working for clients on multiple properties, providing services for their primary homes in the Triangle region and their vacation homes at Smith Mountain Lake or North Carolina beaches.
