Q: What is the design/construction process?

A: We have four easy steps to "Transforming Homes and Enriching Lives"

  • Step 1 is an initial Consultation including discussions, a conceptual drawing, "ballpark" budget and site field measurements.
  • Step 2 is the Professional Service Agreement (PSA), which includes design and estimating phases. During the design phase we provide specific CAD depictions of your project. The estimating phase is where, based on the drawings, we will provide you with an Estimate Summary Detail (ESD) costing of your job.
  • Step 3 is the construction contract. This provides an overview of your project along with the payment schedule details.
  • Step 4 is the actual construction phase, where the plans, ESD, and the Construction Contract provide our staff with the details needed to transform your home and enrich your life.

Q: How much does the initial consultation cost?

A: There is no charge for the initial consultation stated in Step 1 above.

Q: May we contact your former clients?

A: We will be happy to provide you with a list of former clients and the type of project we have completed for them. All customers listed have agreed to let us use them as a reference and invite your call.
