We believe that each of our clients is an individual with their own taste, style and personality. We would like for them to be able to express themselves with their renovation project by being able to select their own finishes, rather than choosing finishes we have pre-selected.
It’s a common practice for a construction company to avoid buying finishes from different suppliers. This way the company saves time, it makes for easier deliveries, and less paperwork to deal with. So they only offer 1-3 different options, which results in many projects looking the same…the old cookie cutter approach.
Our company has established relationships with many local and online suppliers. We encourage our clients to take advantage of these relationships, which helps ensure a unique project every time.
In addition, each supplier has their own specialty such us plumbing, cabinets, flooring, electrical, countertops, etc., and may even offer more competitive pricing for each particular finish.
We know there are nearly unlimited options for finish materials on the market, so we do not limit our clients’ to just two or three options. Instead, our estimate will include an allowance budget for all finish materials for your project. Once a contract is finalized to have us build your project, we will provide some recommended suppliers for each finish item to help point you in the right direction. If you choose to work with our designer for your finish selections (there is an additional hourly fee), you would meet in our showroom as well as our preferred vendors’ showrooms to view and select materials in a timely manner. In addition, we have a great working relationship with several online suppliers and retailers. Many of our vendors and supplier offer us discounts due to our purchase volume, allowing us to pass on some savings.
Once we order all of your selected finish materials, we will reconcile the allowance budget vs. actual material cost. If you spend less than budgeted, we will credit the difference towards your project balance. If the actual cost comes in higher than budgeted, you will owe the difference. In this way, we can offer all our clients the freedom to choose the products they desire, and account for their costs in a fair manner.
Our company offers the first estimate plus one (1) revision or alteration free of charge as long as you own the property or you have an accepted offer to buy, and have been pre-qualified by your lender.
Any additional estimate revisions will cost $300 each (paid upfront) to help cover the time and resources involved with estimate revisions. If the revisions include additional work, and increase the total job cost, the $300 charge will be applied towards your approved revision.
On the projects already in progress, we offer the first 2 client requested change order estimates free of charge. Any additional client requested change orders will cost $300 each (paid upfront). If the change orders include additional work, and increase the total job cost, the $300 charge will be applied towards your approved change orders.
We do our best to listen to your needs and ask questions to understand your project before putting the proposal together. We rely on our vast experience and do our best to include many items that your renovation might involve. However, we are generally working with structures that were previously built by someone else. Additional/Extra work will incur additional costs, whether as a result of unforeseen circumstances or due to changes requested by the homeowner. Because remodeling is not an exact science, we recommend factoring a realistic percentage for contingencies into your budget to account for these type of situations.
Here’s a list of potential scenarios that may involve you spending more money on your construction/remodeling project:
– Change Order requests: The most likely culprit for a project going over budget is simply that our clients change their mind after a proposal has been signed. Some examples would be: more expensive finish material than budgeted, or unique (e.g. non-industry standard) requests. More specifically, this may include oversized tile installation, unusually laid flooring patterns, non-industry standard electrical systems, additional moldings and/or woodwork, wallpaper, additional paint color variations etc.
If you are unsure what falls outside of your estimated price, let us know. We are happy to discuss all of these details with you to make sure we are all on the same page.
– Surprise structural changes: Once the demolition is complete, you suddenly have a new vision for your home… one with an open floor plan or maybe the newly exposed, previously installed beams turn out to be too small. Situations like these do arise from time to time. The last thing we want is to ignore your newly changed vision or turn a blind eye to a potential structural problem with your home. These surprises and changes do generally increase your overall investment in your project.
– Bringing your home “up to code”: Building codes were originally designed to protect public health and safety, according to the National Association of Home Builders, but government agencies are now using codes to implement policies such as energy efficiency and sustainability. This slew of new building standards can mean hidden costs, especially for older homes.
– Improper building practices: once we expose the walls, it may reveal many mistakes and contractors who “cut corners.” Unfortunately, these are issues that can’t be seen until your project is underway. We pride ourselves on a job well done, and this sometimes means extra costs to fix pre-existing mistakes.
If your project requires an architect and/or designer, we can connect you with a designer from our team, but we’ll gladly work with yours as well. In addition, because our designers are always current with the latest design trends, you can rest assured the design help we offer is coming from award-winning experts!
