Are you thinking about adding on an addition, renovating your basement, or perhaps designing a whole new kitchen? Whatever the project is, you’re probably wondering what the process is. How long will it take? What happens next? Etc. We work with homeowners on a weekly basis, walking them through the ins and outs of their project timeline. So we thought we would share it here, to help give you a better grasp of the project timeline.
Here is an example of the timeline behind building a new kitchen –
- Building a new kitchen:
- Homeowner and owner Ed meet to do a walkthrough of the project.
- The budget and contract is agreed on
- The first step is to finalize the project design and drawings
- Our team works alongside designers, homeowners, and the project manager to develop drawings
- In some projects we don’t work with designers, depends on the budget.
- We schedule the demolition crew, arrange for dumpsters and pull the right permits
- Demo is completed
- Framers to build the space out
- The plumber does rough plumbing
- The electrician does rough electrical work
- Did you know we have our own team of electricians over at McDonald Electric?
- Schedule all inspections for the electrical and plumbing work
- Walls are insulated
- Framing inspection is completed
- The team closes up walls
