TEN STEP DESIGN / BUILD PROCESS

Our 10 Step Process ensures your satisfaction and delivers the best value available.

DREAMS: The Design Phase

Every remodeling project starts in your head and heart.

Drawing your ultimate goals and ambitions for the project out of you …
… hearing you say, “That’s it – you’ve got it!” …
… that’s what the five-step Design Phase is all about. Here we go!

1. Begin With the End in Mind

Call it a desire, a need or a want – it’s your remodeling project, and we’re here to bring it home.

So let’s get together to discuss your project. We want to know everything! Tell us about

• Your current situation - what are you dealing with right now?
• Your vision of the perfect remodeling project
• Your budget requirements
• Your design tastes and preference

We’ll come over to measure and photograph your existing space, and then it’s on to Step 2.

2. Passing the Torch

You’ve given us your first directions, and now our award-winning design team takes the lead. In our hands, your initial feedback becomes a design concept, a set of drawings, an optimum project plan.

And we can’t wait to share it with you - that’s Step 3.

3. The Dream Is in the Details

Come in for a cup of coffee, and let’s go over your drawings. Some of them offer different design options and product choices, and we’ll walk you through the pros and cons for each. By the end of this session, you’ll be able to make confident design decisions that fit your desire and your budget.

And that will bring us to Step 4 . . .

4. Know What to Expect

You’ve narrowed down the choices, and we’ve folded them into one final presentation for you.   We'll deliver professional drawings so you’ll see exactly how your final project will look. And you’ll learn what’s coming up in the process:

• How we’ll handle your construction
• How we’ll solve any problems
• How we’ll deliver the project of your dreams

But before we begin the build, there’s Step 5.

5. Trust, but Verify

You don’t want any mistakes to hold the project up or slam you with additional costs. And neither do we. So last, but certainly not least, you’ll receive a Product Selection Sheet for confirmation. It’s the complete breakdown, including:

• Cabinet and countertop colors
• Flooring styles and colors
• Hardware selections
• Roofing, window and siding colors
• Plumbing and lighting fixtures
• Paint and tile selections

Bottom line: You’ll know exactly what to expect from us when we go to Phase 2.

DELIVERED: The Build Phase

From concept to construction! Your project is fully in our hands, and we’re ready to roll with it.

6. Failure to Plan Is Planning to Fail

With your final approved design in hand, our team kicks into high gear. Design transforms into detailed construction plans. We’ll get the building permits for you, too.

And any specialized needs you have (like structural engineering) are also built into the production planning system for your project at this point. If you’re anything like us, you want your project to run smoothly at every stage.

And then, in Step 7, we bring in the big man …

7. Your Single Point of Contact

Your Lead Carpenter. The only person you need to know. The one who’ll manage your whole project on-site. Our clients love their Lead Carpenters, and we think you will, too.

We’ll bring your Lead Carpenter up to speed on your entire project, from plans to schedules to specific design requests. And then it’s time for you two to meet – that’s Step 8.

8. Getting Down to Business

You don’t just get to know your Lead Carpenter at the pre-construction conference – you get to know how every single step of your project will be carried out, with your Lead Carpenter at the forefront. Here’s what your Lead Carpenter will do for you:

• Explain the production procedures, so you know how the project will flow
• Review your project specifications to ensure your satisfaction
• Review your project construction plans for your approval
• Coordinate the production schedule with you
• Promptly answer your questions and address any concerns

Then the G.M. Roth team gets to work. While your project moves steadily to completion, you’ll get progress reports along the way – what we like to call Step 9.

9. Communication Is the Key

Different projects involve many different professionals to complete the work. Your Lead Carpenter is the communications leader of your project, making sure information flows smoothly to everyone involved in the project – especially you.

Quality work, without costly misunderstandings – you get this through weekly job recaps, mid-project evaluations and walkthroughs, and worksite safety reviews.

And the work flies on. Then the day arrives – almost sooner than you ever expected. It’s the day you go through Step 10.

10. Dreams Delivered

Your project, completed. Is it everything you wanted? Did we just get the job done – or go over and above to superior performance for you? We hope so, but we want to be sure. So we’ll walk through it once more with you, and get your final feedback.
