This phase is about understanding and setting expectations, as well as discussing projected timelines, job challenges, and construction requirements.

· Will you need a building permit?
· Will you need an architect?
· What is our proposed timeframe for construction, and does it align with your expectations for completion?

During the Discovery Phase, we will also complete a rough sketch of the work to be completed; check electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems to determine capacity and missing infrastructure needs; and discuss the desired quality of finish materials. This ensures that we can give you a straightforward, realistic expectation of the job before we get started.

In Planning, we will complete a finished set of agreed upon construction drawings that will serve as our scope of work during the Construction Phase. We will:

· Assist you with obtaining architectural drawings, if needed for a building permit;
· Build a complete project bid with finished architectural drawings, and gather subcontractor estimates as needed/required; and
· Assemble a final bid and project budget range for your approval.

Once the final bid is signed, we can go to work.

It doesn’t get any more straightforward than this. We will complete the project as outlined and approved. We submit two to four progress payment invoices, depending on the size of the project. Each payment is tied to a specific set of completion requirements as outlined in the final bid.
