The Design Build Process - Why it's the best way...
 |
 |
At Premier Basements / Custom Carpentry Atlanta we've chosen to work with our clients using the Design-Build Process. This gives you the design, planning, costing, coordination and construction all from one source for your home renovation. One company... fully accountable for all phases of your construction from conception to completion.
1. The Initial Call
When you call us, we'll briefly discuss your project, inquire about its approximate size and the budget you may be considering.
We'll then schedule an appointment with you for our initial consultation. It is important that all parties involved in the decision-making process be present during our first meeting.
2. Our First Visit
We visit your home free-of-charge for the initial no-obligation review of your proposed project. This meeting allows us to interview one another and verify that your project is a good fit for both of us. The level of personalized service we wish to provide our clients dictates the limited number of projects we are able to undertake each year. It's this philosophy that motivates us to treat every client with TLC and with the necessary courtesy and attention-to-detail they deserve.
Please plan on a minimum of at least 30-60 minutes for our in-home discussion of the following items:
What you wish to accomplish with your renovation. What amenities do you wish to include in your project? Home theater room, custom wet bar, extra bedroom, in-law suite, children's playroom, exercise room... all are popular options. What specific details can you share with us to help create the picture of what you really want?
Your budget. We realize prospective clients often are surprised by what a project may ultimately cost. We'll discuss your proposed budget immediately in order to make certain a realistic approach is taken regarding your renovation's construction costs. We'll also focus on what can or cannot be accomplished within the budget range you may have in mind. Costs for labor and materials renerally rise over time... The end result... a project started a year from now will most likely be more expensive than if you elect to proceed in the near term.
The solutions we can provide to meet your priorities. Each project is a prototype requiring different element planning in order to accomplish what is most important to you; no two renovation projects are ever "exactly" the same. That's why a renovation floor plan often requires considerable production time before construction ever begins.
3. Design, Specifications and Cost Analysis
This step requires each of us to invest time and money to ensure the success of your renovating project. For larger projects, the time involved in fully preparing the information for your construction contract is typically between 10 and 20 hours after the design and specifications are complete. The design and specification phase commonly takes between 15 and 40 hours to complete. Of course this depends on the scope of work and size of your project.
In order to accurately cost out your renovation, decisions by the homeowner need to be made early on about layout, material specifications and finishes to be used. If specifications are unclear prior to costing, an accurate cost estimate of your entire project can be difficult. Before one piece of lumber is ever cut, we try to always make certain the homeowner has a clear understanding of what the project includes...or does not include. Remember too, our floor plan design fee is always credited back to your construction cost when you select Premier Basements as your builder of choice.
We complete the following with you during this stage of the process:
(a) Take measurements of your basement. These will be used for drawings.
(b) Design the project. Drawings and specifications are completed at this time. This involves many decisions regarding space allotment, materials, finishes, fixtures, cabinetry, flooring, etc.
Your drawings include the following:
(1) "Before" (as is) and "After" floor plans
(2) Cabinetry details
(3) Door schedules
(4) Elevations and 3D perspectives
Once your remodeling plans have met with your approval and if you select Premier Basements as your builder, we'll distribute a set of plans to any others, such as electricians, plumbers, etc who are also involved in your project. If you elect not to use Premier Basements as your contractor, you'll simply be presented with your finalized floors plans to do with as you choose.
When you select Premier Basements / Custom Carpentry Atlanta as your builder, and after all pricing is received from material suppliers, we'll compile a detailed contract for your approval and signature. Construction of your remodeling project can then begin.
