Initial Discovery
On a call or in person, we’ll meet with you to discuss your goals and vision for your project and determine whether Pine Creek is the best fit. We’ll also visit your home or proposed site with you to get a full picture of the property.
Concept Scope & Budget
In alignment with your goals, we’ll create a conceptual scope of the project, a budget for preconstruction services and an estimated budget for construction.
*If you are working with an architect, we will provide a Project Proposal based on the architectural plans presented.
If our proposed concept scope and budget align with your expectations, we can move forward with a preconstruction agreement.
Our talented design team will draft blueprints and elevations to begin bringing your vision to life while aligning with leading industry practices and the unique needs of your site.
Where things start to get really fun! We’ll work with you to make specific color, material and detailed design choices for your home. Our team provides a highly interactive, visual and tactile experience so you can control how your home will look and feel.
Based on the design drafts and your specific design selections, we’ll calculate and provide you with a comprehensive and accurate final budget for your project.
With any final tweaks to scope and budget, we’ll draw up and enter into a construction agreement with you.
