By providing design documents and three-dimensional renderings that are meticulously well-executed, it minimizes any potential surprises in the build phase. Whether you choose us for build services or not, any contractor should be able to pick up those documents and know exactly how to proceed.Our Design + Build process ensures that your finished project is one you’re proud to call your own.

Consultation

The first step in the process is to have a free one-hour on-site consultation (this can also be done by phone). We’ll discuss what you’re hoping to accomplish in your space and do a preliminary evaluation of your project. During that meeting we’ll analyze the on-site conditions and discuss your budget and general conceptual ideas. If you decide that our services would be a good fit for you, we’ll send you a Design Contract. Once we have an agreement, we will move into the Design phase:

Design Phase

1) On site kick-off meeting

Our Lead Designer will meet with you for an in-depth discussion about your initial ideas. We’ll take measurements and pictures, being sure to keep an eye on any structural limitations that need to be considered. We’ll create rough sketches so that you can get an accurate feel of your project and discuss what inspires you.

2) Design

Based on information obtained during the kick-off meeting, our Lead Designer develops the preliminary design and 3D-renderings. We’ll have a touchpoint meeting to get further input from you and ensure that we’re moving in the right direction. Once these initial designs are approved, we’ll create a detailed, custom-designed computer-generated 3D model of your new space for your review.When you’re completely satisfied with the design, you’ll received the final set of architectural plans. They will include things like:

Once the Design Phase is complete, we’ll provide you with a Project Budget, which is a line-by-line estimate of costs for materials and labor. If applicable, this may include options for alternate materials and layouts.

Build Phase

Should you choose to use Graystone for the Build phase, you’ll get the same customer service focus, professionalism, and expertise to manage your renovation and construction project that you saw in the design phase.

1) Proposal

Once the Design Specifications and Project Budget above are finalized, we’ll generate a proposal with the Build Phase details, scopes of work, costs, and general provisions. This will include a project timeline and payment schedule.

2) Pre-construction Walkthrough Meeting

Once the contract is signed, there will be an on-site meeting between you, the Lead Designer, and the Project Manager to discuss all the logistical components of the project.

3) Construction Begins

Work begins under the direction of our Project Manager. The Project Manager is your primary point of contact for any questions or concerns you may have about the project. You’ll receive regular updates about the progress of the project, the schedule, materials, and crews. Of course, if adjustments are needed to the Design at any point of the process those are made at no additional cost.All the work comes with a one-year warranty. You have our guarantee that we will be there for you from the initial design to the completion of the project and beyond.

Lastly, enjoy your ideas come to life.
