This phase is focused on clearly defining your project and arriving at a project scope and price.

Virtual Discovery Consultation

An initial conversation to understand your goals, space, and budget—resulting in a preliminary scope and pricing.

In-Home Project Planning Meeting

An on-site meeting where we evaluate real-world conditions and refine the scope, ensuring accuracy in both design direction and pricing.

Outcome

A clearly defined project scope, aligned expectations, and a signed contract to move forward.

Our Projects

Design

Turning ideas into a buildable plan.

This phase transforms your vision into a fully developed design—balancing aesthetics, functionality, and investment.

Site Survey & BIM Model

We document all existing conditions—measurements, grading, utilities, structures, and plat constraints—and translate them into a precise 3D model of your property, ensuring the project is designed with full awareness of real-world conditions.

Project Layout & Engineering

We configure the full project within your space—fully dimensioned in 3D and engineered for structural integrity, constructability, and long-term performance.

Selections & Upgrades

Finalizing materials, finishes, and features that define the look, feel, and performance of your project.

Optional Add-Ons

Enhancements such as landscaping, outdoor lighting, and integrated technology systems.

Outcome

A fully designed project with finalized scope, selections, and specifications—ready for execution.

Our Projects

Prepare

Preparing the project for a smooth build.

During this phase we secure all required approvals, translate the design into build-ready documentation, and prepare the project for construction to begin.

Permitting & HOA Coordination

We manage the full approval process—coordinating with local jurisdictions and your HOA (if applicable) to secure all required permits and approvals.

Construction Detailing

We finalize internal build documentation and shop drawings—ensuring every detail is clearly defined before work begins.

Scheduling & Ordering

We establish the construction schedule and procure materials in advance to keep the project running efficiently.

Outcome

An approved, fully detailed, and scheduled project—ready to begin construction.
