Design

Our design phase serves as a cornerstone of our approach, setting us apart from other builders. It’s designed to ensure that you, our valued client, and our team have a clear understanding and alignment on every aspect of the project before swinging a hammer. With the expertise of our in-house designer, collaboration ensures that your vision is refined, a detailed scope of work is established, precise drawings are created, necessary permits are secured, and every detail, including finishes and millwork, is selected. This process eliminates surprises, prevents scope creep, and guarantees that your project progresses smoothly within the agreed budget and timeline. With a fixed price contract in place, you have the peace of mind of knowing the exact cost of the project, ensuring a seamless and stress-free renovation experience with no further decisions needed once construction starts.

The first step in your renovation journey is our comprehensive design process. Here, we collaborate closely to understand your vision, needs, constraints, and budget. We handle permit acquisition, develop detailed construction drawings, and provide a fixed price contract. You’ll work with our in-house interior designer, and we’ll coordinate with the municipalities, designers, engineers and professionals for a seamless approach.  With everything in place, you can begin your renovation with confidence, knowing the exact cost and timeline upfront.

Yes, we do charge for the design phase of your project. This initial investment is crucial as it lays the foundation for a successful renovation. By thoroughly planning and refining the details during the design phase, we can avoid costly mistakes and delays during construction. The design contract outlines everything provided during this phase, including comprehensive design, permit acquisition, development of construction drawings, and a fixed price construction contract. This upfront cost ultimately saves you time and money in the long run and ensures that your project progresses smoothly and efficiently when construction begins.

Yes, we handle all necessary permits as part of our comprehensive design phase. Our team handles all communication and coordination with the relevant authorities to ensure a smooth and efficient process. We ensure permits are closed when the project is complete and provide documentation to you in our project closing process.

Absolutely! Before presenting the design, we engage in detailed conversations and site visits to thoroughly understand your needs, vision, budgetary considerations, preferred style, and personal preferences. These discussions and visits inform our initial design iterations, aiming to closely align with your vision from the outset. While adjustments are welcome, our goal is to ensure that the initial design reflects your requirements as accurately as possible.
