Our Process
Step 1: Initial Contact
Initial communication about your project, during which we discuss your vision and utilize our extensive design guides.
Step 2: Project Pre-Design Scope of Work (SOW):
Collection of all the details regarding your project and conversations about value engineering. During this step, we will need plans, photos of designs, photos of the area, and/or a sketch of the project in mind.
Step 3: Budget
After collecting all information pertinent to your project, we will provide you with a budget based on a specific design. Once you approve the design and budget, a formal proposal is created.
Step 4: Contract Sign-Off & Deposit
At this point, a signature of approval on the formal proposal & deposit (typically 50%) will be needed to move forward.
Step 5: Measure
After we have your signature and deposit, we can establish a measure timeline. During this step, we will travel to the project location and take exact measurements of the area.
Step 6: DWG Design & Revisions
Next, the entire project will be designed in CAD to create an exact 2D presentation of your project.
Step 7: Shop DWG Approval
After approval, a physicaly signature is required on all drawings to confirm they have been reviewed. Once this is complete, a commitment date will be provided.
Step 8: Fabrication & Finish
During this step, all of your project's fabrication will be completed. This custom, in-house work includes sandblasting, priming, and finishing.
Step 9: Install
Once fabrication is complete, your project will be expertly installed by our experienced and highly-skilled team.
