What to expect at your free design consultation
Our consultation begins with a representative providing you with key information about our company, available materials, design options, and pricing. This initial step ensures that you have a clear understanding of your choices, empowering you to transform your needs into a project tailored to your specific requirements and budget. Having a solid foundation of design options and material costs is essential before we proceed to create the perfect design for your home.
Next, we’ll visit the area where your structures will be built, take precise measurements, and create detailed design sketches. Once you’ve reviewed and approved the drawings, we will calculate the final price and present you with an offer.
If you choose to proceed, a 25% deposit will be required, and we will schedule an installation date. You’ll also have the opportunity to carefully review the design, materials, and upgrade options, making any necessary changes before we proceed with ordering materials and starting the construction of your project at our manufacturing facility.
On the scheduled installation days, your project will be completed with precision and care. The remaining balance will be due upon successful completion of the project, ensuring that you are fully satisfied with the results.
