INITIAL CONSULTATION: Your remodel design begins with an initial consultation with one of our highly trained design team, during which we will discuss your like and dislikes as well as your family’s needs. We will sit down with you and listen, hear your dreams, discuss budget, take reference photos of your home and take measurements of the space(s) to be remodeled.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT: Next we will consult with our in-house team of design professionals, building code experts and experienced project managers regarding the design development of your project. If you decide to move forward and retain our services to design your remodel, we will review & sign a design agreement to begin analyzing initial selections, reviewing budgets and create initial drawings.

CREATION OF CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS: Once you approve the conceptual design, EDL Construction team will create the necessary construction plans which will include a floorplans, elevations, perspectives and necessary renderings. These documents will provide the detail necessary for us to bid on the project, estimate engineering and permit costs (if needed).

DEVELOPMENT FINALIZATION: We meet to review the remodel design that has been created and budget that has been established. If everything is approved, we review the final design and pricing and sign the remodeling contract which includes details of materials to be used, progress payments to be made during construction and estimated time frame from beginning to the end of your project.

PRODUCTION PLANNING: Upon your approval of our estimate and the signing of the construction contract we begin ordering cabinetry & materials, allocating manpower, and creating the project schedule which includes scheduling the pre job walk, job site prep, demolition, foundation, framing, doors / windows, electrical, plumbing / gas, drywall, siding / stucco, roofing, flooring, cabinetry, trim work, painting & punch lists.

PRODUCTION: We start your remodel, produce as planned and finalize punch lists. Great planning ensures a smooth remodeling experience with predictable time lines and surpassed expectations.

ENJOY YOUR REMODEL!

Every step in our budgeting process is designed to help our clients move through the remodeling process with as much control and understanding as possible. Surprise costs are rarely appreciated so we do everything we can to eliminate them.

Budget
Beginning a project with EDL Constructions entails first meeting for an in-depth conversation about the scope of work, the problems you are hoping to solve, and what budget you may have already established. We will involve members of our design team to assist in providing budget information after early site visits. This collaborative approach allows us to get a tighter handle on the unique issues that we need to consider for your project and to get a realistic budget early in the process.

Design Agreement
One of the first steps in the budget process is to enter into a Design Agreement. The purpose of this Agreement is to provide the homeowner with valuable planning and design services while allowing the free flow of information and cost analysis. EDL Construction will provide design and working drawings for the purposes of finalizing a budget and contract to remodel the proposed project. The design fee will cover interior floor plans, elevations and perspectives. EDL Constructions will also provide color and material selection services to help co-ordinate the materials used for cabinets, counters, walls and flooring. Upon completion of the preliminary plans a proposed cost budget will be drafted. This will be refined with the homeowner and the design to reach an acceptable job budget.

Contract
The final step in the budget process is to create the project contract that contains all the specifications and items agreed upon in the Design Agreement phase.

A change order is a written agreement between the client and the general contractor to change a remodeling contract. Change orders add to, delete from, or otherwise alter the work set forth in the contract documents at the time that the construction contract was bid. As the legal means for changing contracts, change orders are standard in the construction industry.

Change orders can be generated because of code changes, unforeseen conditions, or homeowners wanting to add or change the remodel project. EDL Constructions averages about three to four percent change order compared to a national average of 25 percent or more.

A company with a low change order rate like EDL Constructions indicates that the necessary time in the design and research phases is taken to ensure that the project meets code requirements and the clients’ needs.
