Our Basement Renovation Process
We believe in transparency. Here is exactly how we take your project from a simple idea to a finished living space:
Step 1: Consultation & Site Visit
After you contact us, we schedule a visit to inspect your basement. We listen to your wants and needs, take detailed measurements, and discuss materials. This helps us build an accurate cost estimate.
Step 2: Design & Accurate Pricing
Back at the office, we create a specific scope of work and a computer-generated floor plan with proposed walls and layouts. This ensures we can provide precise pricing based on actual square footage.
Step 3: In-Person Presentation
We do not just email you a number. We meet with you to present the design and budget in person. We discuss the layout together to ensure it fits your vision before you sign anything.
Step 4: Permitting
Depending on your project, a building permit may be required. We handle the paperwork and work with the City of Hamilton to process your application, ensuring your renovation is safe and legal.
Step 5: Construction Management
Our project manager stays in constant contact with you to keep you informed on progress. We conduct regular site visits to ensure our skilled trades are adhering to the scope of work and staying on schedule.
Step 6: Post-Construction Walk-Through
We do not disappear when the work is done. We schedule a final walk-through with you to review the results and ensure you are overjoyed with the final outcome.
