Share Your Vision

Tell us what you're imagining. A bigger kitchen? A second story? A brand-new home? We'll help you shape the idea — even if you're not sure exactly what it looks like yet. Everything starts here.

Define the Plan

Once we understand your vision, we give it definition. Scope of work, budget, schedule, timeline — this is where the details come together. We don't tell you what you want to hear. We tell you what you need to know.

Build Together

We have a shared vision and a solid plan. Now we execute. This isn't just a final step — it's the beginning of a relationship. Our goal is to inspire confidence at every stage.

Your project, step by step.

Here's the path from first call through handoff and warranty. No surprises — just clear communication at every stage.

Step 1
First Conversation
A call or meeting about your project, your goals, and your budget. No pressure — we're here to listen.
Step 2
Site Visit
We walk the property with you and give you a realistic price range before we leave. For new construction, we review the lot and any existing plans.
Step 3
Scope Summary & Letter of Engagement
About 10 days after the visit: a plain summary of the work with a range for each area. If it fits, a short letter of engagement and a Pre-Con / Design Fee start the design phase. You'll know the fee before you commit to anything, and it is separate from the construction price.
Step 4
Design, Selections & Final Pricing
We work through layout and selections with you (and our design partner, when one is on the project), pricing every choice as you make it. Once your selections are locked, you get final pricing within 5 business days. Nothing is built until we've both signed the contract. A deposit is due at signing; the rest follows the milestones in your contract.
Step 5
Construction & Weekly Updates
One point of contact, a written update every week, and photo documentation. Follow your project's progress and your project documents in the 52 Build app. Any change is priced and signed before the work is done, except emergency make-safe work, which we document within one business day. If anything pauses the work, you'll hear why and what happens next the same day.
Step 6
Handoff & Warranty
We walk every detail together. Every punch item is listed, dated, and closed. You get a complete project file with documents, warranties, and photos. Your warranty starts on the date the work is substantially complete, which we confirm in writing. Send any warranty request in writing and you'll get a written answer and, for covered items, a dated plan for the fix. Before your warranty ends, we'll offer a walk-through to catch anything you should report.

Follow your project in the app.
