Drawings before quotes, quotes before the price, and a fixed price contract before construction starts. Kelowna and West Kelowna.
C.P.C stands for Concept, Plan, Construct. The Grand Reveal follows.
It starts with a free conversation and a site visit. We walk the property or the house, listen to what you want the space to do, and tell you honestly whether we are the right builder for it.
If we are, the next step is a Concept Agreement. It is a paid agreement, from $1,000 plus GST for a renovation or a small build and more for a full custom home, and it covers the concept drawing and an estimate built from that drawing.
You pay for it because it is real work your project needs regardless of who builds it: the drawing, and the first honest look at cost. It is not a fee for someone’s time and it is not a sales tactic. At the end of this stage you have a drawing you can react to and a number that is grounded in it. If the number is wrong for you, you have learned that for the price of a drawing, not a demolition.
What you get: a concept drawing, a first estimate built from it, and a client portal where every document from here on lives.
This is where the guesswork leaves the project.
Travel, permits, engineering and site work are in that number. Nothing is left to be discovered on an invoice.
Construction starts when the permit is approved and posted on site. From day one the job runs from a master schedule you can see, and everything is documented.
Construction ends with a site meeting, not a set of keys in an envelope. The house is 100 per cent clean, every light is on, and the warranty booklets for every appliance and system are filed in the kitchen. We walk you through how the house works, register the warranties with you, and hand over the home warranty paperwork with a plain explanation of what it covers. Then we leave you to enjoy it.
Every project carries a warranty. We check in after your first week in the house, because that is when the small things show up. Then quarterly home maintenance inspections: equipment checked, filters changed, the things that keep a home working the way it did on day one. You built to stay; we stay in touch.
Most people who call us have been burned before, usually by an estimate that drifted. The reason it drifts is that the number was given before the drawings, the quotes and the selections existed.
So we do it in the other order. The Concept Agreement pays for the drawings and the first estimate. The Plan stage pays for the permit drawings, the engineering and the quotes every project needs anyway. What you get for that money is a fixed price contract, and a fixed price is only possible because the work behind it was done first.
It is a different proposition from a free quote. It is the difference between knowing what a project costs before you start and finding out as you go.
It depends on the project and on the permit office, so we give you real dates at each stage rather than a range from a brochure. Construction itself is set by the contract and comes with a guaranteed move-in date.
From $1,000 plus GST for renovations and small builds. A full custom home needs a complete preconstruction package, with the survey, concept design, permit drawings and engineering coordination, and that is priced for the house. Whatever the figure, it buys work your project needs, not a quote.
Only if you change the project. If you add a room, move a wall or upgrade a system after the price is fixed, it is priced as a change order and you approve it before it happens. Weather, material prices and trade rates are our risk, not yours.
Then we say so at the Concept stage, while changing course costs a drawing revision instead of a demolition. We would rather lose a project honestly than start one on a number that will not hold.
Tim, for the critical work, and our own crew for the rest. Trades are people we have worked with for years. You will not meet a salesperson and then never see them again.
The first consult is free and there is no pressure in it. We will walk your property or your house, talk through what you want, and tell you honestly whether we are the right builder for the job.
