Our frequently asked questions
-
Yes, we arrange a meeting to discuss the scope of work, budget and timeline. A second meeting is scheduled to go through your estimate to address any questions and make as many revisions as needed. All with no charge!
-
It depends on the type of project and scope. For example: Projects under $100,000 can take 1–3 months. Project $500,000 and above can take 3–9 months. New builds can take 6 months to 1.5 years.
-
Again as above, it depends on the complexity of the project and the workload of the local government. On average, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. It’s always good to check with the local municipality or city hall for more specific information about permit timelines.
-
Yes, we have general liability insurance and worker’s compensation coverage. We also have 2,5,10 year warranty on our new homes.
-
When we are working on your home, we are mindful and respectful that this is your living space. All tools and equipment are tidied and stored at the end of each day. If the project is more invasive, you may have to arrange alternative accommodation.
-
Your dedicated project manager will handle all changes or anything that might pop up throughout the project. For larger projects, we schedule bi-weekly meetings to discuss the progress and address any concerns. Change orders are created for work outside of the original scope.
-
Our estimating process starts with a site visit and consultation.
We’ll get a chance to meet you, talk through your projects and provide recommendations and advice where we see fit. Once the site visit is complete, we’ll give you a very rough cost estimate and timeline so you can get a rough idea of what the project will entail.
Then, we’ll work up a proposal and present it in-person or over a Zoom meeting. This process can take 7-14 days.
Estimate times will depend on the size and scope of the projects. As a rough benchmark, the smaller the project scope and complexity, the faster it will be to get an exact estimate.
