How we work

A roadmap you can hold us to.

Nine named stages from first conversation to final walkthrough — the same roadmap we hand every client, with typical timelines stated up front. One person owns your project: your assigned Project Manager carries scope, scheduling, billing, field coordination, and warranty follow-up, start to finish.

001–2 weeks

Design Service

Layouts, material selections, functionality, and aesthetic details developed into a build-ready concept. Clients with completed architectural or designer drawings skip straight to bid and estimate.

011–2 weeks

Bid & Estimate

Specifications, scope, materials, and timelines reviewed into a detailed estimate outlining anticipated costs, deliverables, and requirements before approval and scheduling.

02Within 5 business days

Award & Kickoff

Contracts finalized and a kickoff meeting scheduled to confirm scope, timelines, responsibilities, and communication expectations before engineering begins.

031–2 weeks

Engineering & Shop Drawings

Detailed shop drawings translate design intent into precise build specifications — dimensions, materials, construction details, installation requirements — for your review and approval.

04Same week as kickoff

Production Release

With drawings approved, the project is formally released into production — specifications, materials, and dimensions locked for fabrication scheduling.

05~3–4 weeks

Fabrication

Materials cut, machined, and assembled in-house — where the CNC's precision meets the bench and hand sanding, for accuracy and long-term durability.

061–2 weeks

Finishing

Components stained, sealed, and top-coated to the approved sample, then final assembly and detailed quality-control inspection.

07Scheduled

Delivery & Install

Completed work carefully delivered, installed, and inspected for fit, finish, and alignment with approved specifications.

081–2 weeks post-install

Walkthrough, Warranty & Follow-Up

A final walkthrough to review the completed project, address outstanding items, explain warranty coverage, and stay with you after the trucks leave.

Timelines are typical estimates from past residential projects and can vary with scope, materials, and site conditions. Your executed contract governs final schedule.
