Initial phone call The first step of working together is to reach out to us. Through a series of phone calls, we will go over the general scope of your project to see if we are a good fit. We’ll discuss timelines and budgets, and ask for pictures of your current space. From there, we will then schedule a visit to your home. Home Visit We'll come out to your home to meet you and see your space. We’ll also talk more in-depth on what your vision is. This helps us to have a better understanding of your project and make sure we are on the same page so that we can move on to the next step – the design. Design Phase We work very closely with design professionals to maximize your budget with the fewest unknowns and to eliminate design blunders. We determine globally what you want, then work backwards from there. This helps to minimize changes that can be very costly and unnecessarily extend the timeline of your project. The Design Phase is also where we will define things like geotech survey's and council consents that will need to be done. Construction agreement A construction agreement is a requirement under the NZ Building regulations and is a very detailed and specific document to make sure we are all clear on the expectations of your project. We treat every project – every home – as if it were our own. We would never expect you to sign something that you didn’t wholly agree with and understand. We sign it when all parties are thoroughly confident in the designated framework of their investment, including estimated costs and timeline, all design details, and a full understanding of what to expect during the Construction Phase. Construction Phase Then it’s time for us to get to work! As we start to build out your space, we’ll do everything we can to accommodate you to make the Construction Phase easy on your daily life. We can’t wait for you to have your updated home just as much as you can’t wait to live in it! Once this is over… get ready to invite your friends over to see your brand new space!
