The Initial Contact
A potential client contacts Corbett Construction Company. At this time we determine their remodeling needs and the general scope of the project. An appointment for an initial meeting is scheduled.
The Initial meeting
The first meeting is at the potential client’s home. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the project in more detail, exchange ideas, determine the budget and evaluate site conditions. Information is acquired in order to develop a design contract (if the client does not have plans for the design) or an estimate if plans are provided. The design contract will be presented at the second meeting if it is determined that Corbett Construction Company can be of assistance.
The Second Meeting
The Design contract will be presented giving the scope of the project as determined by the initial meeting. The specifications will be generated during the design phase. If the design contract is acceptable to the client, the design retainer will be paid to begin the design phase. The design retainer varies depending on the project but is generally around 5% of the budget range. If plans were provided by the client, an estimate, detailed specifications and construction contract will be presented. Upon signing of the construction contract, a deposit is paid to begin construction.
The Design Phase
The objective of the design phase is to produce a set of plans and specifications incorporating the client’s needs and desires. Several initial design options are presented as we endeavor to best meet our client’s needs. One is selected by the client and developed into a complete set of plans and specifications as well as a detailed budget summary and payment schedule. Several other services are provided in the design phase including complimentary research of site issues such as zoning, septic and well location and variance requirements, complete measurements of the home if house plans are not available, and the entry of the home and renovation plans into computer software in order to aid the design process.
The Construction Phase
The construction phase begins upon the signing of the contract. Throughout this phase, the client is kept informed of the status of the project and deadlines for product selections. We remain attentive to our client’s wishes. Change orders are issued as changes are requested. Our staff and subcontractors are committed to quality and craftsmanship. This commitment to the highest standards enables us to bring our client’s dreams to reality.
