Our Process
01
Initial Contact & Design Collaboration
The process begins with establishing a design team. For clients with an existing team, their architect or designer initiates contact and provides preliminary plans. For those needing a design team, we offer assistance in connecting you with exceptional professionals from our network.
02
On-Site Meeting and Assessment
A comprehensive on-site meeting is scheduled to discuss the client's vision, assess the project's scope and feasibility, explore budget expectations, and establish trust and open communication between all parties.
03
Rough Cost Estimate
Following initial discussions and review of conceptual designs, we develop a preliminary cost estimate based on square footage and our experience with similar projects, providing a starting point for budget discussions.
04
Pre-Construction Agreement
To refine the project's budget and scope, we propose entering into a pre-construction agreement. This critical phase ensures thorough project planning before breaking ground. Key components include:
-
Collaborative design development with the project team
-
Creation of a detailed financial blueprint and project timeline
-
Comprehensive risk assessment and mitigation planning
-
Establishment of clear communication channels among all stakeholders
-
Thorough review of regulatory requirements and compliance measures
The pre-construction fee covers in-depth preparation, including site visits with subcontractors, material estimations, and ongoing communication with the design team. This process results in a more accurate project scope and budget, laying a solid foundation for successful construction.
05
Construction Agreement
Upon successful completion of the pre-construction phase, we solidify our partnership with a formal construction contract. With detailed designs and specifications in hand, construction begins. We commit to regular meeting with both the design team and the client, ensuring the project stays true to the original vision and on schedule. Throughout this process, Deterding Construction maintains a commitment to clear communication, meticulous planning, and delivering exceptional quality. Our goal is to create a smooth and satisfying journey from concept to completion, always guided by our core values.
