Custom Remodeling & Home Building Process

MEET

It all starts with an initial meeting to discuss your vision, goals, and investment parameters. Through open dialogue, we’ll align expectations, which is key to a successful project. For added clarity and transparency, we’ll review our process and design-build timeline. If we decide we’re the right fit for each other, we’ll move forward with designing and planning your project

Exploration

We'll engage in a Project Planning Agreement and move onto exploring your design options and project feasibility. We take measurements of your home and get clear on your specific needs for the space, as well as the desired design aesthetic. Our designer works with you to create a preliminary floor plan and finishes, and we’ll provide an initial investment range to complete the project. This step allows us to explore design solutions and realistic costs to ensure the plan is practical, achievable, and tailored to your needs.

Design

With a confirmed design and investment direction, we move into the Project Development phase. During this stage, we fully develop the construction documents needed to obtain permits and build your project.

With every detail in place, we’ll guide you through selecting all the finish materials to match your personal style. You’ll also see 3D renderings of your new space—so you can truly experience what it will feel like to stand in your remodeled home.

Walkthrough

During the Project Development phase, we bring in our team and expert trade partners for a walkthrough of the project site. This allows everyone the opportunity to assess existing conditions, refine the scope of work, and identify any important considerations early on. By addressing key details upfront, we minimize surprises and deliver the results you expect.

Proposal

Kraft uses the insights gained during the walkthrough to develop a comprehensive, well-informed project proposal for you. We’ll answer any remaining questions and provide a preliminary project schedule, so you know exactly what to expect. To move forward with the build, we sign the Construction Agreement and begin bringing your plans to life!

Pre-Construction

Once the Construction Agreement is signed, the Kraft team orders materials and coordinates with our trade partners to lock in the project schedule. We obtain permits and give you access to your job info through our online project management system. By day one of construction, you’ll feel reassured that all the details have been taken care of so you can sit back with confidence in your team.

Construction

The transformation begins as we build your new space. Your assigned project manager oversees every detail and maintains frequent communication with you throughout the process. We keep everything on track—from project progress and a clean job site to coordinating respectful crews.

Post-Construction

As we approach project completion, we conduct a final walkthrough and professionally clean your new space so it’s ready for you to enjoy right away. A Certificate of Completion confirms your satisfaction with the results and starts our 2-year warranty. Now, it’s time to embrace your improved lifestyle in your beautiful new home!
