Our Process
-
The Inquiry
- Every project needs a good plan to be executed with care. To begin your project with MD Renovations & General Contracting, please complete our online request form for a consultation (or quote and proposal?). We are honoured and excited to begin earning your trust and working with you during your project.
-
The Consultation
- Let’s meet at your home at a convenient time for you. We are all ears to your vision, needs and wants. Then we will tour the area you wish to renovate, review your vision and share ideas. To make sure your vision is feasible, the “Pre-Build Inspection” walk through of the soon to be renovated area will allow us to review the structural areas, grade, plumbing, mechanical, and clearance allowances before finalizing a design. We are well versed in the building codes and latest designs, but sometimes a designer or architect will help you visually bring your project to life. MD Renovations & General Contracting has valued partnerships with designers, architects and drafters that can help with your vision and are excited to assist when called upon. At MD Renovations & General Contracting, one of our priorities is a well thought plan and design that ensures your renovations are exactly what you expect and the renovated environment is safe for everyone during every phase. If the space requires any specialty trades to ensure the renovated area is ready for construction, we will suggest that in advance so that everyone can work and live safely.
-
The Proposal
- Once you finalize the design, materials, paint colours etc., we will put together a scope of work, a “build proposal” for review. Together we will sit down and review the entire proposal. This will be our “Blueprint”, no surprises, no questions, plain and simple language so everyone has a clear understanding of what is going to take place. It will include an itemized breakdown of materials, accompanied by a detailed description of the building process with a “No Renovation Left Behind” clause. You will be able to review our standard payment structure, budget-friendly payment options, terms, conditions, and select a start date
-
The Build
- Now that the paperwork is signed and complete, Let us begin “Putting LIFE Back Into Your Home”! We will submit the permit application, order the materials in advance of your project, and get your site ready for day 1. We will have the materials delivered or pick them up. If possible, we ask that you provide space in your garage, spare room, shed etc… to keep these materials clean and safe. Alternatively, you can elect to have a storage container delivered for the materials or we can source out a local storage unit company near you so that you can store any part of the renovation project there. During the build, communication is our strength – you will be kept in the loop throughout the entire project either face to face, through our customer portal or a simple white board set up on site. We believe this is the most important part of the process. Why? Because it is “your house” and “your money” and we get it!
-
Project Completion
- Prior to our “Project Completion” walkthrough, I personally walkthrough the project during all stages of the construction and just before it is complete, the site super and I walkthrough together and evaluate all the nooks and crannies of the renovated area to make sure everything is just right. If we see something that needs improving, we fix it way before you may even see it.
Once my evaluation is done, you and I will begin our walkthrough. If we have missed something, don’t be shy, let us know. We want it to be right! This is our signature and our team has tremendous pride in our work. We make sure you are completely satisfied. During our walkthrough, we will share with you how or why we did things and answer any questions you may have. Know that with our warranty and our commitment to you, we’ll come back to fix any minor imperfections that may arise. Our dedicated team can address any outstanding items to ensure your project is just perfect, after all it is “your” house and “your” money and we get that!
We’re so proud of our work, we love to take some pictures of your finished project and share them with our friends.
