Every remodel begins with questions. Without a clear roadmap, the process can feel daunting. At Powell Construction, we guide homeowners through a clear, supportive process so you always feel informed and confident. In this article, we’ll give you a snapshot of our tried-and-true approach so you can see how your project will unfold from start to finish.
Step 1: Initial Meeting & Project Evaluation
Your remodeling journey will begin with a home visit to discuss your goals, lifestyle, and vision. This meeting helps define the scope and feasibility of the project, so everyone starts on the same page. We listen carefully to your priorities and help clarify what’s most important for your family’s space.
Step 2: Design & Vision
After meeting with you in your home, our designer will follow up with a rough ballpark investment range for your project. At that point, you can decide if you’d like to move forward. Once a design agreement is signed, you’ll work with the designer who will create custom plans tailored to your style and the way you live.
Through 3D renderings and thoughtfully curated selections, you’ll be able to visualize your space long before construction begins. Because our design and construction teams work hand-in-hand, we ensure creative ideas are supported by construction expertise, keeping your project aligned with your budget and as stress-free as possible.
Step 3: Detailed, Transparent Estimating
Once your design is finalized and the majority of selections have been made, we prepare a comprehensive, line-by-line fixed-price estimate. We believe in full transparency so you can make confident, informed decisions about your investment.
Accurate plans and well-defined selections are essential to accurate pricing. While general ballpark numbers are discussed early on, the true cost of your remodel can only be determined once the details are largely in place. At that stage, we schedule a subcontractor walk-through at your home and provide each key trade partner with a full set of plans. Their input allows us to build the most precise estimate possible.
Our estimates are typically five to twelve pages long, clearly outlining what is included, and what is not, so you understand exactly what your remodel entails and what it will cost. This will give you clarity and confidence as you move forward.
Step 4: Construction Begins
Once your contract is signed and permits are in place, construction begins. You’ll receive a printed schedule so your family knows what to expect each day. A lead carpenter manages the crew and tradespeople, ensuring quality craftsmanship throughout every phase. Weekly on-site meetings keep you informed, and your designer checks in regularly to make sure everything matches your vision.
Step 5: Final Walkthrough & Satisfaction
When construction is complete, we conduct a comprehensive walkthrough with you to ensure every detail meets your expectations. Your satisfaction is our ultimate goal, and we won’t consider a project finished until every last item has been carefully attended to.
