The best way to understand the process is to break it down into its individual parts. We look at the construction process as being made up of a several main elements that are tied together in various ways.
Budget

Scope of the Project
A frequently asked question is what projects will add the most to their lifestyle and at what cost? We have the experience and willingness to break down the various projects so the owners can make a decision as to what works best for them.
We will look at how extensive the remodeling project is. Will it tear down a whole room or is it just a small addition?
Analysis of the Existing Home
Once you have a design in mind, the existing home needs to be put on paper before the remodeling starts. With our Computer-Aided Design (CAD) program, our designers can come up with the best plans that meet your needs.
The New Plans
