The Construction Process
Architectural Consultation
The construction process for additions and other large projects typically begins with a consultation with an architect of the homeowner's choice. The goal for the design of the project should be outlined in a list of "must have" and "wish we had" items and general thoughts about aesthetic and lifestyle desires.

What to Expect

Although the remodeling of your home is an exciting process, you need to expect some inconvenience and disorder during construction. Although we are neat and orderly and seal off work areas, some dust will escape.
