FAQ

What makes this different from hiring a traditional contractor?

Traditional contractors estimate based on incomplete information. We finalize design, materials, and permits first, then lock in a fixed construction price before work begins.

Do prices ever increase after signing the contract?

Only if you request a change order. Otherwise, your fixed price is guaranteed.

Do you handle condo board approvals?

Yes. All drawings, forms, and communication with your condo board are fully managed for you during the Design & Planning phase.
