The Design Build Process

• Initial Consultation/Estimate : After contacting us, BCN will set up a meeting to evaluate your project, needs and desires. We will present you with photographs of past projects along with references. BCN will create an estimate range based on this early scope of work, and provide a 'Design Contract' to begin the Design Phase.
• Design Phase : Once you have decided to move forward with BCN, we begin the official design of your project. You will work with BCN's designers, architects, engineers, and selections coordinator to design the project the way you want. Exterior elevations and details will be planned, interior floorplans will be modified to meet your needs, and interior finishes will be discussed in detail so BCN can budget your job. Your input and feedback is what drives this process.
• Permitting/Preparation Phase : This phase begins with the permitting process. BCN will prepare and file all permits required for the construction. Our permit expeditors will communicate with the local jurisdiction as well as the client to keep everyone informed of permit progress. During this time, BCN will direct you how to best prepare for the Construction Phase. BCN will also give you a "Selections Timeline" to help guide you through the entire selections process and set up meetings with vendors to begin picking out your kitchen, lighting, tile, etc. to properly customize your design.
• Construction Phase : This is where the dust flies and your home begins to take shape. From groundbreaking to the final coat of paint, BCN will keep the client informed through weekly meetings and scheduled walk-throughs. The client will see the construction as it happens.
• Completion : Once construction is complete, BCN will walk-through the finished home with the client and evaluate the end product. At this point, we turn the completed project over to the client.
• Warranty : 7 months after construction is complete, BCN will return for a walk-through to evaluate any warranty issues.
