Process FAQs

What if I don't have drawings or plans yet?

That's completely fine. We can recommend trusted architects and help guide you through the planning phase before construction begins.

How are payments structured?

Payments are tied to completed milestones. You only pay for work that's been done. We never ask for large upfront deposits.

Can the scope change during the project?

Yes. We handle variations through a transparent change order process. Any changes to cost or timeline are agreed in writing before proceeding.

How often will I receive updates during construction?

We provide weekly progress updates with photos and milestone tracking. You'll always know exactly where your project stands.
