The proposal & design process typically takes 4 weeks to collaborate with our team to make the decisions needed to provide you with a final contract. We will use the final design and your selections to create a detailed fixed price contract for the work. This timeline is dependent on your schedule and availability for meetings, design changes and material selections.
The length of a project varies depending on the scope, but the construction phase of an average remodel takes 8-12 weeks with occasional exceptions based on the scale of the project and any special order materials.
Your project manager will prepare a plan for best protecting your home, involving floor protection, carpet masking, plastic walls or temporary access doors into the work zones. We ask that owners remove their personal items and furniture from the immediate work zone. Your project manager will communicate with you directly about when to expect workers at your home and work zone safety. In most cases we do not require you to be present, with your approval we will provide secure access and locking up when you are not at home using a coded lock box.
The short answer? It depends. Costs can vary based on the finish materials and appliances you’ve selected, as well as the scope of your remodel. In addition, our design-build approach means that we charge a fair and reasonable design and project management fee as well.
The long answer? Kitchens may cost between 15-20% of your home’s current value. Bathrooms may be between 10 and 15% or more depending on layout changes and materials. For whole home remodels, it depends on the square footage of your home. If you want the most accurate numbers possible, please contact us.
We provide a detailed sheet and discuss with you at the PSA meeting. For the Professional Service Agreement you are invoiced a 5% deposit at signing which is credited to your final contract. For the contract and construction phase you are invoiced for 80% of your materials at signing. When work begins you are invoiced for 50% of the labor portion of your contract. The 20% Material balance is due when your cabinetry delivers to your home. When we template for your new countertops there is an invoice for 40% of the labor portion and the final 10% is due when you sign the certificate of completion. For Change Orders there is a $250 fee plus the cost of the material or labor change and you typically you are invoiced upon approval. Change orders only apply to items that were not in your original contract and alter the scope of work or materials after the contract was signed.
The design process is a great time to change your mind and ensure you are getting exactly what you want and we will support you every step of the way. The process is a collaboration with your designer, and we will work with you around any needed changes to create a final design. Yes, you can change your mind during the build– however, the earlier, the better. We will provide you with a change order for approval before adjusting the scope of work and associated costs.
