Excel Builders

OUR PROCESS We have many years of remodeling experience, and we are here to help you! We have created a true design-build process that allows us to deliver outstanding home remodeling projects for every client. STEP 1: CONTACT US The first step to accomplishing your remodeling goals is to contact us. STEP 2: PHONE CONSULTATION Taking a few minutes to speak briefly over the phone is great way for us to get know how we can help you. Tell us what you are thinking, be open and honest—and in return we will do the same. This will build a solid foundation for the success of your remodel. STEP 3: IN-HOME CONSULTATION The in-home consultation will take about one hour to complete. We want to see your home and the areas of importance. Once we have had a chance to see the space, then we will sit down and discuss more specific information such as: Budget • During this consultation we can discuss a basic budget for your project. You will not get a written proposal at this point. A written proposal before the design is completed is not accurate, does not account for the fine details that will need to be addressed in the design phase. Design Retainer • We will discuss our design process with you, and a plan that will fit your project needs. Our goal is to provide a conceptual design package for you, along with that design we will include a complete scope of work, and a project proposal broken down into 20+ categories. During the design phase we will also complete a thorough walk-thru with our subcontractors to obtain precise estimates. This will ensure that you are getting everything accounted for from beginning, essentially controlling your budget, with an accurate estimate. STEP 4: DESIGN Whether you’re looking for a small bathroom renovation or a whole house remodel, all home remodeling projects need a design. Design is the foundation of any project. Like building a house, you always start with the foundation, as the foundation will support your home for many years to come. Design is that foundation. STEP 5: THE PROPOSAL After the design is complete, we can start the proposal. Then we will schedule a time to present the preliminary design and proposal. The proposal is where you get to see the final cost of your remodel based on the design and your project specifics. Our proposals are broken down into 20+ different phases, allowing you to see the cost breakdown for each phase of the remodel. Each phase will show the actual cost, approximate cost, allowance item costs, or not applicable as they apply to your remodel. The costs will be explained as we review the proposal. Along with the breakdown of phases, we set allowances. Allowance items are materials you select for your remodel, such as tile, cabinetry, flooring, and etc. The final selections of allowance items will be completed with our designer after the contract is signed. STEP 6: CONTRACT SIGNING It is time to sign the contract. Signing the contract allows us to schedule your remodeling project, order supplies, and complete the final selections of allowance items. STEP 7: CONSTRUCTION With the design, contract, and related agreements in hand, we can get started on your remodeling project!
