Our Remodeling Process
Quality Home Remodeling Services in Maryland and Virginia
Home remodeling can be an overwhelming task if you don’t know what you are doing. With over 25 years of experience, the professionals at Adroit Design Remodeling have the knowledge and expertise to make your remodeling ideas a reality. Some projects are straight-forward while others require detailed design work, product selections and on-site consultation and review. For larger projects the remodeling process usually involves 4 steps; initial phone conversation, on-site consultation, professional services/design agreement, and the construction phase.
The Remodeling Process
Initial Phone Conversation
This is the time to for us to learn more about you and what your home remodeling goals entail. The phone call may take about 15 minutes which will give us time to discuss the scope of work to be reviewed, determine the best course of action, and to schedule a time to meet with you at your home.
On-site Remodeling Consultation
This meeting is always at no cost or obligation to you. At this meeting we will learn more about your remodeling goals and accomplish the following:
- Present our credentials and further explain our design and remodeling process
- Listen to determine exactly what you want to accomplish with your remodeling project
- Establish a budget range that the entire process revolves around
- Evaluate the feasibility of the project
- If a feasibility study is the recommended course of action the following steps will be taken
- Verify property lines, zoning regulations, determine if home owner regulations apply, and verify permitting requirements
- Take photos, measurements and examine the existing conditions of the electrical, plumbing and mechanical systems
- Prepare preliminary generic specifications based on one concept
- Prepare conceptual drawings limited to one concept
- Make a decision whether to move to the next step in the remodeling process
Professional Remodeling Services/Design Agreement
If you decide to proceed with your project, we will develop a project budget by working with you and our team of suppliers and trade specialists. This phase is usually part of larger projects, such as kitchen and baths, that require more hours of design time, product/material selections and review. In this phase we will:
- Refine designs
- Obtain material and trade quotes
- Prepare a detailed scope of work and specifications
- Assist you with product selections
- Finalize actual remodeling costs
Construction Phase
After the remodeling agreement has been executed, we will begin your project. This phase begins with obtaining building permits and scheduling a pre-start project review meeting with you and our production team. From there your project will be carried out by our highly experienced staff and we will keep you informed of the process and answer any questions you may have during construction.
