How we proceed with a
remodeling / renovation project is outlined here for your review
At first phone contact, discuss basic project feasibility and schedule an
initial meeting.
The purpose of this meeting will be to:
 | Meet each other,
discuss and examine your project. |
| Determine in broad
based terms if the project is possible with regard to budget. |
| Establish in what price
range the cost is likely to be. (These figures do not represent an estimate /
bid or proposal to perform contract work; they are intended to establish a
target design budget only.)
|
If the project is
feasible with regard to budget and existing conditions, we will prepare and
present the Design Phase only contract and after acceptance we will:
| Investigate the home
and provide consultation as needed. |
| Photograph and
measure the effected area of the home. |
| Provide solutions to
the major design problems or issues. |
| Produce preliminary
design drawings consisting of; existing conditions, floor plans of remodeled
and / or new space, foundation plan if needed and elevations. |
| Develop project
specifications (Clearly defined product, material and scope of work
descriptions) |
| Prepare the proposal
and contract for construction. |
| The cost of this
phase is approximately 2 – 3% of our target project budget. |
| 50% is due to begin
the work and 50 % at completion of the design work. |
| During the Design
Phase, we will be able to develop the actual fixed project costs by working
very closely together and also involving our team of subcontractors and
other specialists. |
At the completion
of the Design Phase agreement, you will have:
| Completed design
drawings |
| Detailed Project
Specifications |
| The Construction
Phase Fixed Price Proposal Contract |
After the completion of the Design Phase you may:
| Retain all
documents and take no further action. |
| Decide to accept
the contract for construction and proceed to the construction phase. |
Should you
decide to accept the contract for construction:
| James R. Irvine
Construction will produce the final permit drawings, provide
Engineering review, apply for all necessary permits and schedule the
starting and completion dates. |
| Upon acceptance
of the Contract for Construction, the total cost of the Design / Build
agreement will be applied to the total cost of construction. |
