Our Process

A clear path from idea to completion.

Explore the eight stages of a construction project. The scope, responsibilities, schedule and required approvals are confirmed for your specific project.

  1. Consultation

    The conversation starts with your goals, the property and how the space will be used.

    • Project goals and priorities
    • Property location and current use
    • Budget range and preferred timing
  2. Site Evaluation

    The space is reviewed in person so existing conditions can inform the scope.

    • Walkthrough and measurements
    • Existing conditions documented
    • Access, utility and structural considerations noted
  3. Estimate & Scope

    The work is defined in a written scope and estimate before a construction plan is set.

    • Scope of work defined
    • Inclusions, exclusions and assumptions identified
    • Allowances noted where selections are still open
  4. Planning & Scheduling

    Trades, materials, permits and inspections are sequenced into a project schedule.

    • Project schedule prepared
    • Subcontractors scheduled
    • Permits and material lead times coordinated
  5. Construction

    Work proceeds according to the approved scope and schedule, with trades coordinated on site.

    • Trade coordination on site
    • Progress documented with photos
    • Change orders documented for approval
  6. Quality Control

    Completed work is reviewed against the scope as the project progresses.

    • Work reviewed at key stages
    • Inspections coordinated
    • Issues identified and addressed as work progresses
  7. Final Walkthrough

    The finished project is walked together, and any remaining items are recorded on a punch list.

    • Walkthrough of completed work
    • Punch-list items recorded
    • Punch-list items completed
  8. Project Completion

    The project is closed out with final cleanup and project documentation.

    • Final cleaning
    • Closeout documents provided
    • Final questions answered

What to bring to the first conversation

  • Property location and how the space is used
  • A description of the work you have in mind
  • Plans or photos, if you have them
  • Your budget range and preferred timing

Every project is different. Permits, site conditions, material availability and approved scope changes can affect the sequence and schedule.
