Construction Process


Do I need to already have plans?
You do not need to already have plans. As a Design-Build contractor, we will take you through concept design all the way to working drawings. From start to finish we will be there to take care of all the dimensions of design and construction. Should you already have plans, we are more than happy to work with those drawings and your engineer.
How long before a project is started?
This varies widely depending on the size and scope of the project. Design can take as little as two weeks for a simple renovation or as long as 2 months for a custom house. Next we submit the project to the local municipality for review. This can take from 3-8 weeks depending on permitting demand. Currently the average pre-construction phase is taking 8 weeks.
Are you easy to get a hold of?
Yes. We are in the office everyday and you should feel free to contact us any time.
Do you update us weekly?
We typically update our customers on at least a weekly basis. Since our customers usually like to actively participate in the design process and pick out all fixtures, finishes and appliances, they are always informed about their project's status.
Can you help with design and layout?
Absolutely. We are a Design-Build contractor and helping you with your dream design is our specialty.
How long does the construction take?
Since each project is unique, it is difficult to estimate how long your project will take. Feel free to Contact Us with the detail of you project and we can give you an estimate.
