How Your Renovation Takes Shape
Renovation Stages
We plan the work in stages and let you know what needs to be decided before each one.
- 01
Discovery
We discuss what you want to change, the home you want to create, and what you expect to spend.
- Your input
- Describe the rooms, problems, or improvements you have in mind. Share any available photos or plans.
- Outcome
- A shared understanding of your goals and what to review on site.
- 02
Site Review
We explore layout possibilities with you and review the rooms, structure, and building systems involved. We identify conditions that need further investigation or design review.
- Your input
- Arrange access and share any known problems, building rules, or previous work records.
- Outcome
- A review of existing conditions and any issues the design or estimate needs to address.
- 03
Scope, Budget, and Agreement
We outline the scope, explain the price and allowances, and review the proposed schedule. We agree on the terms and sign the construction agreement.
- Your input
- Review the scope and price, confirm priorities, and decide who will approve selections and changes.
- Outcome
- A signed construction agreement covering the scope, price, and schedule.
- 04
Design, Permits, and Preparation
We work with your architect or designer, or help you engage one. We coordinate the design documents and permit applications, plan material orders, and prepare the site. We obtain the approvals needed for each construction phase before it starts.
- Your input
- Approve the design and selections, share building requirements, and plan for affected rooms or alternative accommodations.
- Outcome
- The approved documents, material orders, and site arrangements needed to begin construction.
- 05
Construction and Changes
We manage the trades, maintain the schedule, and inspect and test the work as appropriate. We send regular photo updates and review proposed changes with you, including their cost and schedule impact, before the work proceeds.
- Your input
- Make decisions by the agreed dates, review proposed changes, and tell us about questions or household needs.
- Outcome
- Completed construction, with approved changes documented.
- 06
Walkthrough and Closeout
We walk the finished space with you, prepare a punch list of any requested changes, and resolve them. We organize closeout documents and coordinate any final inspections and signoffs.
- Your input
- Join the walkthrough, tell us about any requested changes, and retain your project documents.
- Outcome
- Requested changes resolved and closeout documents organized for your renovated home.
