OUR DESIGN-BUILD PROCESS

1 | Initial Consultation and Design Planning
Our journey begins with a detailed consultation to understand your vision and preferences. During this phase, we listen to your ideas, review site-related documents, and discuss your budget and scope. This collaborative approach ensures that we capture every detail, setting the foundation for a project that aligns perfectly with your needs.
2 | Design Presentation and Refinement
Our design team transforms your vision into a tangible concept using advanced tools like 3D models and sketches. We present a detailed design that includes a full scope and proposal, allowing you to visualize your new outdoor space. Your feedback is crucial at this stage, and we refine the design to ensure it meets your expectations and lifestyle perfectly.
3 | Construction and Final Walkthrough
With a finalized design, our skilled construction team brings your project to life, adhering to the highest standards of quality and efficiency. Throughout the construction phase, we maintain open communication, providing regular updates on progress. Upon completion, we conduct a thorough final walkthrough to ensure everything is perfect and to address any remaining questions. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we provide comprehensive warranties and continued support for your new outdoor space.
