Create & Renovate
Our Process
First Call
When you first contact us, we will discuss your wants and needs, keeping in mind the budget you are looking to work within. Our team will ask all the right questions in order to move forward with ease and efficiency. Together, we will establish whether your project requires design, drawings and renderings, project timelines and any special requests. Based on your availability, we will set up an in-person consultation.
In Person Consultation
One of our Turn Key experts will come to your home to provide our initial consultation. In this meeting, we will discuss the scope of work, vision of the new layout/design and level of material selections you desire. In order to best serve you, we also want to know what the most important aspects of working with your ideal contractor are. If the project is larger in scale, our professionals will describe how our Preliminary Scope Contract will capture your expectations, build an accurate budget and minimize surprises from the beginning. Before we leave, we will provide you with our company information package, references and a written budget based on the details discussed.
Proposal
The size of your project will dictate our next steps. For smaller projects, 3 piece bathrooms or standard undeveloped basement developments, we may be able to provide an estimate after the first meeting. For larger projects that require further discovery and planning, we offer our exclusive Preliminary Scope Contract, which consists of the following components:
- Asbestos Assessment (for any homes older than 1994)
- Structural Engineering (for any wall removal/build or structural modifications)
- Design and Drawings
- Material Selections (with the help of our designer)
- Trade walkthrough
- Fixed price contract
One of the advantages of accessing our professionally-developed Preliminary Scope is that you are not obliged to use us for the main project, as this is a separate contract. You will own the drawings and all the above information in a convenient, neat little package, allowing you to move forward with your project however you please! Still, we believe after you have worked with us in this important initial phase, you will find that we are a natural fit when it comes to bringing your vision to life. And this fixed price contract at no extra cost to you is just the icing on the cake!
Final Meeting
Once the proposal has been accepted, we will meet again to review the entire estimate, drawings (if required) and scope of work to make sure your expectations are fulfilled and any necessary changes are made before the project begins. We will outline the following course of action and set you up on our online project management system so you can see your contract details, client to do’s and full schedule, effortlessly. Finally, we will create the brilliant space you’ve been dreaming of!
