Design Process
PLANNING PROCESS
The first step in our process is to listen to the customer and their ideas. We’ll discuss your list of wants and needs to get a feel for your personal style. It’s most helpful if you can provide us with any plans available for your current home, but if not available, we’ll create a floor plan that shows all pertinent areas where the remodeling or addition will occur. We will discuss your budget and prepare a detailed project overview, also known as the Intent to Build. This will define your needs and goals, such as function, size, style, and other considerations that affect how you want to live in your new space.
DESIGN PROCESS
During the design phase of your remodel, we’ll make suggestions to assist you about how you will use the space and what features to include. After you are comfortable, we’ll refine the design and provide a complete set of drawings which may include (but not limited to), demolition plans, floor plans, elevations, and electrical layouts. At this stage, you will begin to make selections which may include cabinetry, countertops, flooring, plumbing fixtures, tile, colors, and wall finishes, and we will be there with you every step of the way. The final working drawings will be completed, and a team of dedicated subcontractors will participate with a visit to your home, also known as a walkthrough. These subcontractors will review their scope of work on your project and submit proposals to Paradise Builders. Upon completion of this step, Paradise Builders will invite you to return to our showroom to review the final proposal and contract, and if needed, make any changes deemed necessary.
BUILD PROCESS
Prior to the start of construction, our project manager (PM) will meet with you to discuss your project, the construction process and how we can keep your household running as smoothly as possible. Our project management team will create a calendar of events and create a construction schedule outlining the various phases of your renovation. We’ll help guide you through decisions for your hardware styles and finishes, lighting and electrical fixtures, color schemes, and any other choices unique to your project. Our (PM) will monitor construction during his visits to your job site, plus our office staff and resources will continually be available to you. Paradise Builders also utilizes an online portal called Buildertrend which allows you to track your job with a live up to date calendar through the app on your phone or PC, along with access to your photos and paperwork. Direct messaging to your PM and Design Consultant is also one of the convenient features. At, or close to the completion of your project we will set up a special appointment to go through any questions or concerns you may have. After completion we have a full staff of employees to service any work or problems as they may arise throughout your warranty period, so you are always covered.
