How We Work

Your Needs Come First

• Project starts with discovery about you needs

• Timelines
• Budgets
• Goals
• Whats motivating you to remodel? 
• What are you concerned about?
• Whats most important to you?
• As per Neil Kelly Design Consultant
• It lets me look at the feasibility of a project
  how we can architecturally tie it
• in so it looks like it was original to the house,
  or how we can maintain
• Consistency between exterior and interior spaces.

Discovery Meets Design 

• Once your team has met to review the preliminary
  plans, we dig into the details. In design
  meetings, we work together with clients to review
  plans and renderings, discuss products and
  materials and talk plan options.
• When I work with somebody who hasnt gone
  through our design-build process, theyre
• used to being a do-it-yourselfer. They ask
  Where do I need to go to look for samples?
• says Richmond. Ill respond with Do you
  want to do the shopping or do you want me
• to bring ideas to you? And they usually
  answer with Oh, youll do that?
• This collaborative process helps you maintain
  your vision for the project from the very
• beginning.
• To ensure clients get a sense of what the design
  will look like in person, Neil Kelly does a
• job-site walkthrough with the project
  manager and tradespeople involved. This also
• eliminates any surprises during the
  construction process. Everyones going to see
  your
• home and troubleshoot, says Richmond.

Planning and Construction

• Most of our planning happens behind the scenes.
  You may not see or hear from us all that much,
  but theres a lot happening scheduling,
  ordering, obtaining
• permits. As the process moves along, youll
  realize the benefit of having a
• single, dedicated point of contact.
• The biggest piece of planning is the
  scheduling, says Richmond, because we have to
  know when our materials will be on hand. We dont
  want to start until
• theyre available, then we have all of our
  tradespeople buy into the schedule.
• Once planning is complete, youll get a start
  date and a written construction
• timeline. Were going to do all we can to
  hold to that timeline, says Richmond.
• Its an integral part of maintaining the
  trust we develop with our clients. Weve
• even had clients go away while we do the
  construction. They know everything
• is documented and were going to build it
  the way it was all planned.
• While you may not be ready to leave your home
  alone, our design-build process ensures that your
  remodel is in good hands and our five-year
  service
• guarantee makes sure it stays that way.
