Transform Your Home with Forward Homes: Our Step-by-Step Process
Embarking on a home renovation or addition can feel overwhelming. With an abundance of information online, it’s challenging to know where to start. Forward Homes is here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring an honest and positive experience.
Step 1: Initial Phone Conversation
Your journey begins with a phone call to discuss your renovation or addition needs. I will ask questions to understand your vision and requirements. This open and honest conversation helps both of us, the client and the contractor, determine if we are a good fit for your project.
Step 2: In-Person Consultation
If you decide to move forward, I will meet you at your home to review the project details. During this visit, I may take measurements to provide an accurate budget estimate. We will discuss the permitting process, budget expectations, timeline, and contract details. Following our meeting, I will present a detailed budget proposal for your review.
Step 3: Approval of Budget
Once you approve the budget, we will sign a contract to outline the scope of work, budget, and timeline. My priority is to ensure you have complete confidence in Forward Homes to deliver the highest quality renovation.
Step 4: Project Commencement
The start of your project can follow two paths:
No Permit Required: For cosmetic changes like painting, replacing flooring, and trim.
Permit Required: For structural changes needing city approval. Forward Homes will handle the permit application process, which may involve architectural plans.
Upon obtaining the necessary permits, we will begin the renovation. The project phases typically include:
Demolition
Building
Subtrades: plumbing, HVAC, electrical, insulation, drywall, and painting
Interior/Exterior finishing
Step 5: Project Completion
The final stage is critical for both client and contractor. We focus on completing all the details that transform a good project into a great one. After finishing the renovation, we conduct a thorough walk-through and schedule any necessary follow-up to ensure your complete satisfaction.
If you have any questions or need further information, please don’t hesitate to call David at Forward Homes. We look forward to making your dream renovation a reality.
