Contracting
Many homeowners feel that the first step in planning a construction project is getting multiple estimates from as many contractors as they can. For simple remodeling, such as siding or roofing, that may be best course of action.
However, today’s homeowners have many options and decisions to make before an accurate and TRUE COST can be determined. In almost every aspect of home design, the choices a customer makes will affect the budget in a meaningful way. Ten different customers will call ten different projects a “dormer” … all with ten different price tags!
Personal Touch has developed a Design/Build approach which is the best way to determine what your design will cost BEFORE you begin any construction. There is no other way to accurately predict the true construction price.
The Design/Build approach consists of these steps:
The homeowners and a Personal Touch Design Consultant will meet to discuss your wants and needs for your construction project.
After careful review of these specific wants and needs, an approximate budget will be estimated.
If the estimate is aligned with the clients’ budget, we would then enter into a Preliminary Design Agreement, where for a small investment from the customer, the project will be designed to that budget. The size of your initial investment varies based on the size of the project and the amount of work necessary to best meet the homeowner’s needs.
A detailed visualization package will be created for the homeowner. This can consist of drawings, floor-plans, computer renderings and kitchen and bath plans if necessary. This will enable the homeowner to know if the end result will give them what they have envisioned.
Once the preliminary plans are approved by the homeowner, a detailed cost analysis is generated for those plans to be constructed.
When the designs and total projected costs are to the client’s liking, any initial investments already made will be credited toward the project. This way, the extra step of designing to your needs first, does not cost anything extra!
