How we proceed with a
remodeling / renovation project is outlined here for your review
At first phone contact, discuss basic project feasibility and schedule an
initial meeting.
The purpose of this meeting will be to:
Meet each other,
discuss and examine your project.
Determine in broad
based terms if the project is possible with regard to budget.
Establish in what price
range the cost is likely to be. (These figures do not represent an estimate /
bid or proposal to perform contract work; they are intended to establish a
target design budget only.)
If the project is
feasible with regard to budget and existing conditions, we will prepare and
present the Design Phase only contract and after acceptance we will:
Investigate the home
and provide consultation as needed.
Photograph and
measure the effected area of the home.
Provide solutions to
the major design problems or issues.
Produce preliminary
design drawings consisting of; existing conditions, floor plans of remodeled
and / or new space, foundation plan if needed and elevations.
Develop project
specifications (Clearly defined product, material and scope of work
descriptions)
Prepare the proposal
and contract for construction.
The cost of this
phase is approximately 1- 2 % of our target project budget.
50% is due to begin
the work and 50 % at completion of the design work.
During the Design
Phase, we will be able to develop the actual fixed project costs by working
very closely together and also involving our team of subcontractors and
other specialists.
At the completion
of the Design Phase agreement, you will have:
Completed design
drawings
Detailed Project
Specifications
The Construction
Phase Fixed Price Proposal Contract
After the completion of the Design Phase you may:
Retain all
documents and take no further action.
Decide to accept
the contract for construction and proceed to the construction phase.
Should you
decide to accept the contract for construction:
James R. Irvine
Construction will produce the final permit drawings, provide
Engineering review, apply for all necessary permits and schedule the
starting and completion dates.
Upon acceptance
of the Contract for Construction, the total cost of the Design / Build
agreement will be applied to the total cost of construction.
