Let’s Get Started – Initial Phone Call and In-Person Visit

The design consultation phase at CoCreations Construction & Design is a foundational step where the client’s vision and the project’s scope are clearly defined. The process begins with an in-depth conversation with the client. During this meeting, our team listens carefully to the homeowner’s ideas, needs, and goals for the renovation. Whether the project is a kitchen remodel, a full home renovation, or new home construction, this step ensures that the client’s lifestyle, preferences, and aesthetic vision are fully understood.

Following the discovery session, a thorough assessment of the space is conducted. This might include taking measurements, evaluating structural factors, and considering any limitations of the existing layout. The team uses this information to help create a design plan that’s both functional and aesthetically pleasing. CoCreations values collaboration, so clients are encouraged to share inspiration, like mood boards, Pinterest pins, or magazine clippings.

What Will It Look Like? – Design and Material Selection

Once the client signs a design contract with us, we get move to the next phase. Together with the design team, homeowners refine their vision, making key decisions on styles, finishes, and layouts. This back-and-forth ensures that the final design is tailored specifically to the homeowner’s needs. The design team then translates these ideas into concrete design concepts. CoCreations uses 2D and 3D renderings and virtual walkthroughs to help clients visualize how the space will look and feel. This allows clients to experience the design before construction begins, making it easier to tweak or refine details early in the process.

Our experienced interior design and selections coordinators will offer guidance on material selection, helping clients choose finishes, fixtures, and appliances that fit their style, functionality, and budget needs. This includes eco-friendly and sustainable options for those looking to make environmentally conscious decisions. For larger renovations and new home construction, they also help the client take into account the home design on a larger scale, assuring that the style of the selections flows well through the entire home.

Let’s Get Down to Business – Contract Development

During the contract creation phase, our sales team provides a realistic budget overview based on the client’s design preferences and scope. Transparency is key in this phase, and the team works closely with clients to ensure that their design choices align with their budget. Clear communication at this stage helps to prevent any surprises later on. After incorporating feedback and refining the design, the consultation phase concludes with a finalized design plan. Once approved, the project transitions smoothly into the construction phase, with a clear roadmap for the builders to follow.

This thorough, client-focused consultation phase ensures that every project begins with a solid foundation, where the homeowner’s vision and goals are clearly defined and aligned with the project scope. The final contract will include a milestone payment structure based on completing specific portions of the work. The contract will also have a thorough breakdown of everything needed for the project, from demo and installation to electrical and plumbing to selection allowances.

Client Signing, Moving Out and Start of Construction

The project begins with a collaborative introduction to the team, ensuring clear communication and alignment from the start. Clients are guided through the process of securing a spot on the construction calendar, setting the timeline for their renovation or build. Early in the process, clients work closely with one of our interior designers to select design aesthetics, material such as countertops and cabinet finishes, and hardware and fixtures. They will help make key material choices that reflect their personal style, budget, and vision of the client. As part of the onboarding process, clients are introduced to BuilderTrend, a project management tool that provides real-time updates on the construction schedule, progress, and any schedule payments and change orders. 

During this phase, clients may need to plan for moving out of their home or relocating within their home to accommodate the work, as well as prepare by packing and organizing their space. These steps help streamline the process and minimize disruptions. Once preparations are complete, work proceeds according to the detailed plan and schedule, ensuring that every aspect of the project is executed efficiently and to the highest standards. Regular updates and open communication throughout the construction phase ensure clients are informed and involved, fostering a smooth and well-coordinated experience.

Completion of Project and Warranty Phase

The completion of a project involves ensuring that all work outlines in the contract is fully and accurately executed. This phase begins with a detailed walk-through of the space conducted by the client and our project managers. During this walk-through, the homeowner reviews the completed work, noting any final adjustments or corrections needed, which are compiled into a punch list to be completed. Once all punch items have been addressed, the project is completed. The project then enters the warranty period and the homeowner is given a warranty package. We will try our best to resolve any issues that come up during this phase. 

The focus throughout this stage is on achieving client satisfaction and providing long-term solutions. This gives the homeowner peace of mind. From the start of design, to the planning phase, to product selection, to construction and completion of the project, the team at CoCreations Construction & Design is here for the client to offer support, and is prepared to take care of any and every issue that may arise.
