At Pellis Construction, the journey to your dream home should be as smooth and enjoyable as the final result.
Here’s how our design-build process works, step by step:
1. Initial Consultation and Team Selection
It all starts with a conversation. During our initial consultation, we’ll discuss your vision, goals, budget, and timeline. This is where we get to know each other, build trust, and align on expectations. Choosing a design-build firm like Pellis Construction means you’re selecting a team that handles every aspect of your project, from design to construction.
2. Site Selection and Pre-Construction Assessments
Next, we’ll evaluate potential sites for your new home. From zoning laws to environmental assessments and geotechnical investigations, we make sure everything checks out. At the same time, we define the project’s feasibility, scope, budget, and schedule to keep everything is on track before we break ground.
3. Conceptual Design
This is where your vision begins to take shape. Our in-house design team creates preliminary sketches, floor plans, and even 3D renderings so you can visualize your home. Early cost estimations are provided to ensure the design aligns with your budget.
4. Design Development
With your feedback in hand, we refine the initial designs into detailed construction plans. This includes material specifications and a deeper collaboration between our design and construction teams to ensure everything is both practical and cost-efficient.
5. Budget Finalization and Contract Agreement
Once we finalize the design and establish a budget, we create detailed contracts and specifications that define the cost and scope of the project.
6. Permitting
No one likes red tape, so we handle the permitting process for you. Our team works with local authorities to secure all necessary permits, ensuring your home meets all building codes and regulations.
7. Construction Phase
It’s time to bring your dream home to life. We start with site preparation, then move through the building stages: framing, installing critical systems (like HVAC, plumbing, and electrical), insulation, drywall, and exterior finishes. Throughout construction, we manage subcontractors, oversee inspections, and maintain strict quality control.
8. Interior Finishes
This is where your home’s unique character comes to life. We will carefully install all interior elements – flooring, cabinetry, fixtures, paint, and appliances – ensuring every detail reflects your vision and preferences with precision and care.
9. Project Closeout
As we near the finish line, we’ll walk you through your new home to address any last-minute details or punch list items. You’ll also receive warranty information and documentation for future reference.
10. Post-Construction Support
Our relationship doesn’t end at move-in. We’re here to provide ongoing support, whether it’s through maintenance assistance or warranty follow-ups. If you ever have questions or concerns, we’re just a call away.
With Pellis Construction, every step of the design-build process is handled with care, expertise, and a focus on creating a home that’s perfectly tailored to you. Let’s get started on your dream home!
