How Projects Move
Consistent steps for residential and commercial work, designed to keep scope, schedule, and next steps clear.
Initial Contact
The process begins with an initial contact to discuss the project, review general goals, and understand the property and overall direction of the work.
Consultation
A consultation is scheduled to review the project in more detail, answer questions, and gather the information needed to move forward with planning and estimating.
Tier 1 Proposal
A Tier 1 Proposal is developed based on available information, using historical cost data and construction knowledge to establish a preliminary scope and estimated cost for the project.
Pre-Construction
Pre-construction includes planning, selections, coordination with subcontractors and suppliers, and further development of the project scope to prepare for construction.
Tier 2 Proposal + Contract
A Tier 2 Proposal is prepared once the project is further defined, providing a more detailed and construction-ready scope, followed by a contract agreement to move into the construction phase.
Permitting + Preparation
Permitting and preparation includes obtaining required approvals, organizing documentation, and preparing the site and project logistics before construction begins.
Construction
Construction proceeds in phases, including site work, foundation, framing, mechanical systems, interior work, and final finishes, with coordination and oversight maintained throughout.
