Our Design-Build Remodeling Process

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5

Step 1. Let’s Talk about It

(No Cost)

We like to approach things in terms of solving problems. What’s wrong with your house? It’s not large enough, it doesn’t flow properly, or perhaps the kitchen and bathrooms are simply outdated… tell us your problems. We are good listeners.

Step 2. Let’s Meet and Talk Some More

(No Cost)

If it looks like we can help, Howard Kandel will meet with you at your home to listen some more, tour the property, and offer broad conceptual solutions. You will discuss wants, needs, timing, and budget ranges. If he feels we can help, he will explain the process of our “Dream Study & Reality Check,” otherwise known as a feasibility study.

Step 3. "Dream Study and Reality Check"

(Cost--Approx. 1-2% of Budget, or $500-$5,000)

During this phase, we will provide you with all the information you need to make an intelligent decision about the projects’ viability.

It includes the following:

  • Measure existing spaces and create “as-built” drawings on our powerful computer software
  • Take many digital photos
  • Create concept floor plans and elevations
  • Create photo-realistic interior views showing exactly what you will see
    (see virtual remodeling for more details)
  • Create a scope-of-work list, detailing all the work needed to complete the project. Identify and investigate potential issues such as zoning, structural, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and integration to adjacent areas
  • Prepare preliminary budget report based on above assumptions

Step 4. Focusing on the Details to Reduce the Risk of Costly, Time-Consuming Design Mistakes

This phase includes the following:

  • Using our computer modeling software, we will completely build every detail of your project on the screen first. You will be able to see every view, from every angle, and even walk through the spaces. We can refine details such as colors, textures, and materials. This is when we focus on the details
  • Play with window styles and sizes, flooring, even furniture and lighting
  • Refine, revise, and create detailed plans for permit and construction
  • Assist with selecting products, materials, and finishes
  • Conduct site reviews with all craftsmen, trade professionals, and engineers to ensure best pricing and to minimize surprises during construction
  • Procure cost-effective pricing from suppliers on all materials for the project
  • Prepare detailed cost summary, specification summary, and contract

Step 5. Construction

(Cost--Actual Contract Amount)

  • Provide fixed price contract, including start and finish dates
  • Schedule all county inspections and any other obligations for permitting
  • Maintain on-site supervision throughout construction
  • Conduct regular site visits with project manager
  • Implement comprehensive dust and finish protection plan
  • Assist in establishing temporary kitchens, storage, and other amenities to help make the process more enjoyable and less stressful
  • Ensure skilled craftsmanship at every phase of construction
  • Arrange inspections by engineers for additional quality control

Our company provides whatever assistance is necessary to ensure you and your family are satisfied with the final product, and remain safe and sane throughout the process.
