The Design-Build Process – The Design Build Method
We understand the confusion that comes along with hiring contractors in the remodeling process and the headaches many people experience during the design and construction phases.
From concept to reality, our design build build method and four-phased approach to home renovation ensures that your concerns and construction challenges are addressed up-front for your Denver Design-Build project, so that you aren’t faced with any surprises.
DESIGN DOWNLOAD
Where your dreams start to become a reality, the Design Download phase offers us the opportunity to get to know you, understand your tastes, and learn about your goals for a successful home renovation.
During the initial project download meeting, you’ll meet with a Project Developer at your home and walk through the spaces you’d like to improve. Through conversation, we’ll discover:
• Your desired investment amount
• Your current constraints with the space
• Your specific desires for improvements
• Your lifestyle and design tastes
• Your long-term goals for the home and how you plan to live in it
With this information, we’ll put together a project scope and present you with a cost projection for your project. Together, we’ll sign a design agreement and get started on the design phase.
PROJECT DESIGN
In the project design phase, our designers and architects will take your vision to paper. Together we will conceptualize the finished renovation and scope our construction needs.
You’ll be invited to our office where we will co-create a clearly-defined design concept, discuss rough plans and sketches to showcase how it’ll all come together, and review how the plans work within your initial budget.
With approval on the initial concepts, you’ll work with our designer to select finish options and fixtures that match your aesthetic and are within your budget. In this meeting, you’ll review and select
- Flooring
- Trim and millwork
- Cabinetry and countertops
- Paint and tiles
- Lighting fixtures
- Plumbing and hardware
CONSTRUCTION
The construction phase is where your concept and design come together. Whether you are living in your home or choose to move out during construction, our team will work to impose as little impact on your daily life as possible.
We take care of all permitting, licensing, insurance, and project management, and keep you up to date with weekly on-site meetings during which we’ll review any revisions you would like and schedule the work for these change orders.
Our design build contractors have direct daily communication with the design team, so there’s no room for mistakes, misinterpretations, or other problems so common with the traditional process.
When construction is complete, we take extra steps to make certain every aspect of your renovation is perfect. Professional cleaners are hired so that all traces of construction dust are removed and a detailed inspection of work is completed to ensure your complete satisfaction. You’ll then sign the substantial completion form and begin enjoying your newly remodeled home.
2-YEAR WARRANTY
Proudly standing behind our craftsmanship, every project includes a two-year warranty using the same trade partners that did the original work. We proactively schedule post-work inspections for:
- 90 days
- 1 year
- 2 years
We love being able to provide this peace of mind to you and your investment. All warranty concerns are treated with urgency and respect to you and your home.
