Prior to contract sign, we meet and discuss the high level requirements. We then take some time to calculate at a very high level the approximate cost of your project. The only possible way that we can determine the actual cost of the project is by conducting a detailed take off of labor and materials that will be required for completing the project. A detailed take off requires a completed and fully vetted design which requires architectural and structural design hours and locking down of finish selections.
We typically sign a contract with our clients based on an initial project estimate. The initial deposit will fund hours that will be required for finalizing the design and the remaining balance will be retained in the project balance. Once the design has been finalized, we conduct a detailed take off of labor and materials that will be required for completing the project. Keep in mind that throughout the design process we will tailor all efforts to ensure that the final scope of the project will contain the scope and requirements that meet your budget. We submit a change order based on these finalized requirements and once it is approved we submit the plans to the county / city for permit.
