More than half of the work we do occurs before a shovel even touches the ground. Planning and preparation are key in order to ensure a high-quality construction that is on-time and on-budget. Some of the tasks we handle include:

• analysis of your land, well and septic requirements

• permits and documents that may be required by your lender

• optimizing your home on the lot including placement, orientation and accommodation of hydro/communications

• design and architectural services including complete home design, home plans, and structural engineering

• design optimization to save you money

• trial budgeting, to make sure the plan fits the budget

• professional tendering cycle for all tasks using our database of over 1,200 trades and services

• analysis of bid responses using an open book process so you know and understand all costs at all times

• creation of the final, locked-in budget

Once everything is defined we map the project and move on to the building cycle where we take care of:

• creation of the building timetable, Gantt charts, trade schedules and statements of work

• site preparation and excavation

• well, septic, hydro and communications

• construction of the home using best practices

• ongoing site inspections to ensure quality of work and best practices

• coordination of all trades, material shipments and municipal inspections, right up to the day you move in

• ongoing management of schedule, budget and disbursements including approval of invoices from trades

• adherence to building codes

• conflict resolution if these should occur (e.g., if bad weather affects schedule)

Our end-to-end process exposes the use of literally every penny, and every minute that will go into building your home on-time and on-budget. It ensures you are receive competitive prices from the best trades, and that your home is built using best practices. And our open-book tendering system eliminates unnecessary mark-ups by contractors.
