No. We first need to plan your project, confirm all materials and trades are available and acquire firm quotes from our trades and suppliers. The planning of your project is the most important part to ensure the construction phase stays on time and on budget. The planning phase is a small fee which typically includes interior designer costs and planning costs to create a construction package.

The deposit ensures you are committed to the project as well as pays for sub trade deposits and material deposits necessary to start the project. We do not fund any of the project costs ourselves so milestone draws will be due throughout certain points in the schedule of your project. Our second to last draw is substantial complete where we will generally allow you to hold back a certain amount until you are 100% satisfied with the project. For larger projects sometimes we collect a deposit at the beginning and then invoice monthly the job cost actuals. This is discussed depending on the details of the project scope and client financials.

If your house or condo was built before 1990, we will need to test for asbestos to be safe. Asbestos is a very harmful substance and can cause serious health problems if not dealt with properly and it is good to note these test results are only good for 6 months.

This is very common so we know exactly what to do to accommodate you as best as we can. We allocate a space in another room and move your fridge there. We then will set up a temporary table for you microwave, coffee maker and tea kettle, and we recommend purchasing a temporary electric cook top. We explain additional costs to our clients like eating out or ordering in.

Like our deposit answer above, depending on the project size we have a few different payment structures. For planning a deposit is required upfront which can range from 10% to 50% with sometimes a draw in between and a final invoice upon planning complete. For construction depending on project requirements a deposit of 10%-50% is required to start along with either monthly invoices or scheduled draws. Some of these common draw schedules are ie. Construction start, rough in complete, countertop install, substantial completion (move in ready with minor tasks left) and project complete.
