PHASE 1

---

Before any physical work begins, we formally transition the project from planning into construction.  This kickoff marks the handoff from design and pre-construction to the build team and ensures everyone is aligned on scope, schedule, communication, and expectations.

For new construction, the kickoff includes a ground-breaking and meet-the-team event.

• Introduction to the project coordinator and operations manager
• Review of the construction plan and high-level schedule
• Confirmation of site access, safety protocols, and logistics
• Ground-breaking milestone to officially start construction
   

This step establishes clear roles, lines of communication, and a shared understanding of how the project will be delivered. 

For renovations, the kickoff takes place as an on-site meeting with the project coordinator and operations manager.    This meeting confirms roles, communication protocols, and decision pathways before work begins. 

• Review of scope, drawings, and site conditions
• Confirmation of access, protection, and staging
• Discussion of sequencing and impacts to occupied spaces
• Communication protocols and expectations
   

This ensures the project begins with clarity and respect for the existing home.

Construction follows the agreed drawings, specifications, and selections included in the fixed-price contract. 

 This phase establishes the physical base of the home.

• Site preparation and excavation
• Forming and pouring of foundations or slabs
• Foundation waterproofing and drainage
• Underground services and inspections

All work is completed in accordance with engineered drawings and inspected as required before proceeding.

 The structure of the home takes shape.

• Floor, wall, and roof framing
• Structural components installed per engineered plans
• Framing inspections and corrections, if required
• Building envelope preparation

This stage defines the form and scale of the home and sets the stage for all subsequent work.

Core systems are installed.

• Plumbing rough-in
• Electrical rough-in
• Heating and ventilation systems
• Coordination of all trade work to avoid conflicts

Inspections are completed before the project advances to insulation and drywall.

The home is sealed and interior spaces are defined.

• Insulation installation to meet or exceed code requirements
• Vapour barrier and air sealing 
• Drywall installation, taping, and finishing

This phase represents a key transition from structure to interior finishes.

 The home is brought to completion.

• Flooring, cabinetry, and millwork 
• Interior doors, trim, and paint 
• Fixture installation and final electrical and plumbing connections 
• Exterior finishes, as applicable 
• Final inspections and deficiency resolution 

At this stage, all selected finishes and details are installed as defined in the contract documents.

The project concludes with a structured handover.

• Final walkthrough and orientation
• Completion of any outstanding deficiencies
• Delivery of warranty documentation and care information
• Scheduled follow-up inspections after occupancy

We remain available after handover to ensure the home performs as intended and meets expectations.
