We present our proposal for design work and review the Design Contract. We’ll go over the process in detail including project timelines. With your approval of the contract we can move forward with the design development. Deposit fee for the design development is 50%.

We’ll make a pre-arranged visit to take measurements, photos and review the relevant issues of your property.

We invite you to the Oriole office for a review of the base plan and proposed design concepts. This is a great opportunity to give your input and discuss any necessary revisions. We’ll also provide an estimated cost for the proposed construction.

Once we’ve finalized the concepts into a cohesive design plan, we can review it in detail together. And now that we’ve identified each element and the materials, we can go over the final estimate and schedule line by line. With your approval we can start making it happen! …Payment for balance of design phase and deposit for construction phase (30%).

We’ll take care of the ordering your materials, securing locates and permits where needed, coordinating any specialty trades and reviewing your site for construction details. Everyone involved is well informed on the plan details to ensure a smooth flow during installation.

Our crews, equipment and foreman are on site and making it happen. We’ll make every effort to keep disruptions and mess to a minimum. We’ll provide weekly project reports so you’re always fully informed on the progress, and we can make sure you’re pleased with our work. Feel free to speak with your foreman at any time, or contact our office with any questions or comments if preferred.

With the close of the construction phase, we’ll do a walk-through together to identify any issues, questions or unfinished items. Any incomplete items will be resolved promptly and before the project is considered complete.

We’ll meet again for a closure meeting once every detail is complete. This is always such a pleasure for us because it’s the point where our clients are newly aware of the wonderful enhancement to their home and their lives. Here’s where we will present the final invoices.
