If you are looking to have your outdoor living project ready for summer, you want to call to start your project today. Depending on the scope of your project it can take 6-8months from start to finish. Here is what a typical project timeline can look like.

Initial consultations

When you start your project, we will meet with you to see your space. During this part of the process we will discuss with you what the wants and needs are for your space and gain an understanding about how you want to spend your time outdoors. We will come out to measure and look at the space for construction considerations.

Design

We have an in-house Draftsperson to assist in designing and creating digital renderings of your project so that you can visually get a sense for what the space will be like and the purposes it will serve. The design and revisions of your design based on your feedback can take 2 weeks to 2 months to really capture what you are wanting and based on your projects complexity.

Permits

If your project needs a building permit. It can take up to 2-3months from the local permit office once we have the design and project plan ready for your project.

Gathering materials

Materials are becoming more readily available than they were a year ago, but there are some types of materials and projects elements that have longer lead times. Sometimes this can cause us to re-assess material needs and sometimes the right materials are worth the wait. This timeframe can vary in length depending on what materials your project needs.

Executing the project

Once we have all your materials and your project comes up in our queue, one of our crews will be devoted to building your project. We have crews that specialize in decks, screen porches, sun rooms, patios and more. Our crews are hardworking craftsmen and women, that truly love working with our homeowners. After the project is done our finishing team will come in to wrap it up. Depending on how big your project is this timeframe varies.

Follow up

After all our projects, we walk through it with you and follow up with you over time to make sure we have met and exceeded the plans for your outdoor living space.
