1. Initial Communication
Your journey begins with a conversation. Our sales and estimating team will connect with you to understand your family’s needs, goals, and vision for your space. During this stage, we review your architectural drawings (if available) and discuss the size and scope of your project. We’ll guide you with recommendations tailored to your home construction process.
2. Consultation
Next, we’ll meet with you in your home to dive deeper into your project. We’ll walk through your property, gather photos, take detailed measurements, and discuss design ideas. If you need architectural support, we can connect you with some of the best partners in Oakland County. This step helps us lay the foundation for a successful design and build process.
3. Design and Planning
Our lead estimator will work closely with you to establish a clear budget. We ensure that funds are allocated effectively. In this step we also begin submitting for permits and identifying items with long lead times to expedite your project's timeline.
4. Contract Approval
Once your scope of work and budget align, we finalize the contract. This ensures clarity and confidence before moving forward. Our transparent custom home process makes it easy to move into construction with peace of mind. At this stage, we also set up your project in Co-Construct, our online project management tool, so you can track progress, communication, selections, and finances all in one place.
5. Construction
Our skilled construction team brings your vision to life. We handle permitting, scheduling, vendor coordination, and on-site work with meticulous attention to detail. Using Co-Construct, you’ll stay connected with real-time updates, so you always know where things stand. This keeps your home renovation process organized, on budget, and on time.
6. Inspections
Throughout the residential construction process, we schedule inspections to ensure your remodel or custom build meets the highest quality and safety standards.
7. Project Completion
Once the final inspections are complete, we hand over your finished project. You’ll enjoy a beautifully crafted space built to last. With your permission, we would love to take some photos of your new space and receive your feedback in your 5-star review.
