Guided. Transparent. Tailored.

Discover Our Process​

From our first conversation to long after move-in, our process is built to support a clear, collaborative experience—grounded in trust and craftsmanship you can count on.

1. Discover & Align

Focus: relationship-building, goal clarity, fit check

We start with a relaxed call or meeting to understand your goals—whether it’s an ADU, conversion, remodel, or addition. We listen to your vision, explore your property, and discuss budget ranges to see if we’re a good fit to move forward together.

2. Design & Budget

Focus: collaboration, transparency, confidence

Working with your architect or ours, we begin shaping your space. From material selections to finish options, we guide decisions and build a detailed estimate and timeline—so you know what to expect.

3. Permitting & Pre-Construction

Focus: readiness, code compliance, preparation

We handle jurisdictional requirements, including zoning reviews, permit applications, and inspections. With plans finalized and systems in place, your project enters construction fully prepared.

4. Build & Deliver

Focus: craftsmanship, transparency, execution

Your dedicated project manager and trusted trades bring the vision to life—overseeing daily progress, ensuring quality, and keeping you informed with regular updates from start to finish.

5. Final Walkthrough & Continued Support

Focus: satisfaction, relationship continuation, peace of mind

We walk through every detail with you, share final documentation, and make sure you’re confident and comfortable in your new space. Even after project completion, we’re here for questions and continued support.
