01
Discovery and design
Walk the property, describe the routines the home should support and identify the questions that need investigation. Use that brief to compare layouts, materials and a preliminary scope.
02
Plans and permits
Identify the reviewing jurisdiction and the drawings it needs. Confirm who prepares each document, submits the application and coordinates responses to review comments.
03
Building and moving in
Review the builder’s scope and allowances together before work begins. Agree on site access, progress updates and change approvals, then plan for inspections, system demonstrations and handover documents.
