Our Process

It all starts with a vision… 

Our process for building a home is the result of over 20 years experience in building and remodeling homes. This process has evolved over the years and technology has played a large role in shaping our systems, but the overal goal remains the same: To make building or remodeling as easy and stress free as possible for our clients. In a Nutshell, here is how it works: 

1) Meeting & Developing A Plan

Feeling comfortable with you builder is one of the most important aspects to consider when building a home. We desire for your experience to be un-flawed and thus, we place a lot of imphasis on our 1st meeting. In this meeting we discuss what type of home you want to build, review floor plans, give a general and very rough estimate, and most importantly, understand what you are looking for in your new home or remodeling project

2) Detailed Estimating

After you decide that you are ready to build with us, we will put together a detailed, “brick for brick” and “stud for stud” estimate for your project. In this estimate we will give allowances and budgets for each item in your home. The budgets are based on our meetings with you and the information we gather regarding what parts of your home you want to spend more money on. These budgets are not final until you decide that they are.

3) Scheduling & Building

Once a set budget is created and agreed upon, we move forward with building your home. This involves creating and managing an ongoing schedule of events and subcontractors. To accomplish this we use our online system WJBC ToolBox. This system allows you to track the progress of your home and understand what is happening each day during the construction of your project. This system also allows our team to stay on top of the schedule and keep everyone on the same page.

4) Making Selections

Picking out everything from faucets to paint in a new home can be a large task for many people. Rebecca manages our selections process for you and will gladly guide you through this oftentimes overwhelming task of deciding what you want to put in your new dream home.
 

The Wjbc Toolbox is our online project portal for our homeowners. It is used to keep everyone up to date on what is going on as well as share picturs of the project as it is being constructed.
