Our Approach
Of course, an outdoor living project large in scope that is complex will require a different process than a small and simple project or recurring service. We understand that every project and every situation can be a bit different as well. Below is a general and simplified outline of our process. We can also bid and build to your preexisting plan or design.
1.
Discovery & Consultation
We start with a conversation to understand your intent for the project or your service needs, assess your property, and determine the best next step- usually a quote or design agreement. Rough pricing, options, and preliminary considerations are discussed.
2.
Planning & Value Engineering
*Not usually required for recurring services or small projects. The design and planning phase is where we value engineer your project- and establish the scope of work, project pricing, and our installation/construction plan. This phase will look a bit different for each project and each scenario, with some requiring more design and pre-construction work than others.
3.
Professional Execution
This is when the proposed plan comes to life! Expect a stress-free, transparent, and efficient construction or service experience due to our thorough design and planning process and consistent communication. Our team respects you, your project, and your property.
4.
Walk-Through & Stewardship
After the project or service is completed, we will walk through the project to confirm it is up to our and your standard. For an installation or construction project, we will go over any pertinent information and maintenance information, as well as to confirm that the project is completed as expected.
