How does “project development” work?
-
Existing Conditions:We take preliminary photographs and measurements of your house as it exists and provide a Floor Plan of the affected area(s) based on actual conditions.
-
Proposed Preliminary Plans:We provide floor plans illustrating our design ideas for remodeling in response to your desires, suggestions and existing situation. Depending on the scope and complexity of the design, preliminary Elevations, Perspectives, and Detail pages may also be included.
-
Preliminary Meeting:A meeting is scheduled to review the plans, discuss possible revisions, and make specific decisions on the direction of the design work. A copy of the Preliminary Plan is provided to you.
-
Consensus on Design:When we are in agreement on the design, you will begin the process of selecting fixtures and other finishing items required to complete the design. We will provide guidance and information as needed. It is our intent to begin finalizing all fixture and finishing products selections at this time.
-
Revised Plan and Estimate Budget:A Revised Floor Plan, Elevations, (and as applicable) Perspectives, Electrical (lighting, switching, outlets, etc.), Foundation, and Detail pages will be prepared along with an Estimate Budget.
-
Budget Meeting:The Revised Plan and the Estimate Budget will be presented to you. As you approve the Plan and Budget, we will establish a time to begin construction on your project. You will receive the Construction Agreement and related documents and we will proceed to the permitting and ordering phases. Our goal, as design/build specialists, is to complete the actual work of the improvements for you. Our project development efforts and plans are created only for our exclusive and mutual use, and by copyright may not be used by others.
-
Design Process Note:The design schedule can and does vary, depending on the complexity of the project and designer and client schedules. Rates for design services are based on time spent with clients and actual time working on project design. Progress payments are due as invoiced. Engineering and Permit/Construction Documents are not included in the Project Development Phase of your project. These fees may be included in the project budget, as part of the “cost of the work”.
