Our Design Build Process


We take care of the details - you enjoy the results!


Slate Creek Builders provides a comprehensive construction experience. We follow a proven process and approach every project the same way. Our design-build services are an “all under one roof” method to home design, remodeling, and homebuilding. We also use a cutting-edge cloud based software to manage all communication and information throughout the design and construction phases. From our first phone conversation and beyond, we will be your single point of contact and will guide you through the experience from beginning to end.


 

  • Initial Contact/Qualification Phase

    Let’s get started! Use our Contact Form to send over your project ideas and contact information. We will follow up with a call to discuss, and if it seems like a good fit we will then schedule an initial consultation. This gets us from your inquiry to a mutual decision to work together, and gives our team an understanding of your project goals.

  • Design Agreement (DA) Phase

    We sign a Design Agreement and the SCB team gets to work to find solutions for your needs. We will draw up your existing layout alongside new possibilities, create 3D renderings, scope out the complete project details and determine pricing. We will review the project design, scope and budget with you and refine as needed to converge on a solution that meets your needs and budget.

  • Contract/ Pre-Construction Phase

    Once the final design, scope and price have been agreed upon, we will sign a construction contract. We will schedule your project start and a pre-construction meeting where you will meet your on-site project manager, finalize plans and submit for permitting, wrap up remaining selections and order long lead or special order items.

  • Construction/Production Phase

    Construction begins and our production team coordinates the moving parts. The construction schedule is established, trade partners are organized, and the work gets underway. Your project manager will communicate with you while the work is on-going and you will have access to the entire SCB team via our project management system.

  • Warranty Phase

    Once construction is complete, we will clean up and close out so you can enjoy your new space. We then move your project into the warranty phase. You will have access to our project management system to report any issues after the project is complete. We proudly stand behind our work and are happy to take care of any Warranty issues that may come up.

“The SCB design team utilized three dimensional computer tools to provide a virtual walk-through of proposed new and updated spaces, and assisted with selection of stone, cabinetry, decorative lighting, tile, countertops, flooring and paint and stain colors to complete our vision.”
