PHASE 1
The Introduction Meeting
At this point, we typically provide our industry credentials and discuss our clients design goals, building style preferences, conceptual drawings, budgetary concerns, and the anticipated construction time-line for both parties.
PHASE 2
Site Selection & Review
Oklahoma has some of the most beautiful places on Earth to call home and we know this red dirt like the back of our hand. We also have established relationships with a network of local real estate, architectural, and banking professionals over the years and we are happy to provide recommendations for clients who desire assistance with lot selection, plan design, or financing arrangements. For those clients who have already decided on the perfect location for their dream home, this would be the phase where we visit the site together. During the site visit we typically discuss issues such as; location access, landscape, and topography conditions, local ordinances or applicable building restrictions, positioning of the home, desired views, and privacy issues.
PHASE 3
Pre-construction Agreement, Preliminary Design & Cost Analysis
We have normally developed a fairly thorough understanding of the building site, our client’s design goals, and their preliminary construction budget by this point and it is during this phase that we would request a deposit for any additional design or architectural services to be performed. Both parties enter into a Pre-Construction Agreement and we begin to establish the initial design plans; as well as the preferred finishes, fixtures, and appliances, in greater detail. This is also the point at which we provide our clients with a Cost Analysis, which is based on conceptual drawings or preliminary blue prints, and in some cases provide them with design and finish options that are more in-line with their construction budget.
PHASE 4
Construction Contract, Budget, Approval & Building Permits
Both parties execute a Construction Contract during this phase of the building process and we each commit firmly to moving forward with the project. We provide our clients with a itemized and detailed Budget at this point and we also move forward with obtaining any permissions, approvals or permits required by local regulatory authorities.
PHASE 5
Home Construction Begins
We meet or correspond even more frequently with our clients during this phase and it is the point where their design really begins to take shape. After the surveying and permitting processes have been finalized, we prepare the location and secure the site for building activity. The excavation work begins, the plumbing and electrical utilities are roughed-in, the foundation gets poured, the exterior and interior walls are framed, and the roof goes on. The wall and ceiling finishes, window and door styles, lighting, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and appliance selections are also finalized during the Home Construction phase.
PHASE 6
Clean-up & Move-in
Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction lasts as long as our homes do and we’re not finished with the job until our clients think it’s absolutely perfect. We do a final-walk-through with our clients and we provide a hands-on demonstration and detailed Home Owner’s Manual to ensure their familiarity with the homes features and operating systems.
