Initial Inquiry From You: You contact us and we take the time to understand your request. We will ask you some basic questions about your project, acquire contact information, set up an appointment at a convenient time for all interested parties and suggest some resources so you can be prepared for our business meeting.

Initial Consultation: This complimentary consultation and meeting are held at your home or our design office. We will interview each other to determine if we are fit. We will determine if we are compatible to work together and are able to communicate comfortably. We will be listening intently to understand what you want to accomplish. In turn we want you to ask us whatever is necessary for you to feel comfortable about the possibility of us working with you as a teammate for several months. These projects involve several weeks or months for design, scope development, product selections and then several weeks or months to build. Then we will take pictures, rough measurements and gather data regarding the scope of work, assess your needs, wants, must haves, wish list items and your investment goals. At the conclusion to this meeting we will discuss whether or not it makes sense to set up a follow up meeting. If yes we will, if no we will thank you.

Second Consultation: This is a follow up to our first meeting. Prior to our meeting we will confirm that you have checked any requested references and have completed your homework on us. Then we will come prepared with a scope overview of your project based upon our first meeting. This will include the general overview and scope of work for the project we discussed in the first meeting. It will also include a budget range. It will not be an exact budget amount. Final budget amounts need to be confirmed by your approval of all selections, products and finishes.

At this point we will know each well enough and there will be sufficient information surrounding the project to determine if we are the perfect fit you are looking for to complete your home (or business) investment.

Design Agreement: the next step after we discuss the above is to proceed to the design phase. Here we will agree to a design order to be drawn and scope developed within your desired investment range. This order grants Canty Brothers Construction permission to provide a Conceptual Design for your project.

Homeowner Meets Designer/Architect: the next step is we will have a meeting at your home with you and other interested parties, the designer or architect and your representative. In this meeting we will take exact measurements, pictures and assess the structure and systems in preparation to begin the preliminary drawings.

Preliminary Design Meeting: a few weeks after our site visit with our designer we will invite you to our office to view the preliminary conceptual design. Here we will seek your approval for the design, we will make changes as desired, and we will also complete a budget check to make sure that there are no surprises. This step may take some time as you may make some changes to the preliminary design. Also you may need some time to consider other options we suggest or you think of along the way.

Site Visit With Trades: after you have approved the preliminary design we will schedule a site visit with our trades people. This is where you will have a chance to see the team we are bringing to your home to do the project. Many of our customers have expressed their satisfaction with this step. They appreciate the opportunity to meet the people who will be coming to their home before they are on site.

Also at this meeting our trade partners will view the site with the approved preliminary plans. This allows them to see the job with the plans and leads to a more accurate scope of work minimizing surprises on the job. The scope of work they agree to becomes part of the project scope of work that you ultimately approve on the contract to construct.

Shopping, Product Selections; now it’s time to go shopping! This step includes us going shopping with you for a day to finalize selections and products. No prices can be finalized until this step is complete. Once finalized we then consult with our trade partners to make sure that anything we decided is in line with their scope of work and pricing. In the event you need additional time or assistance we can arrange time with one of our interior designers.

Scope of Work Development: once final selections are made, final assessments and pricing form trade partners are obtained we complete the final scope of work and pricing.

Contract to construct: next step is we meet with you to finalize the contract to build.

Permit, Ordering and Scheduling: after the contract to construct is finalized we will apply for the permit, order special order products, line up the team and provide you with a schedule.

Pre-Construction Meeting with Team: simultaneously while the permit phase is underway, we will conduct an internal pre-construction meeting in our office with the team who will build your project.

Turnover Meeting With You: once we receive the permit we will hold a meeting at your home and you will be introduced to our lead carpenter. The lead carpenter will be responsible for building and managing your project. He will become part of your family and be there on a daily basis unless the schedule dictates otherwise.

Start Construction: Shortly after the turnover meeting we will begin construction on the project.

Weekly Meetings: your lead carpenter will conduct weekly scheduled meetings with you to assess project progress each week.

Pre-Completion: meeting prior to the completion of the job to finalize the close out.

Completion: warranties, final instructions, and final payments are made. However, we will always stay in contact and maintain open lines of communication to ensure satisfaction with your investment!
