Our process<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Our process is tailored, transparent, and shaped by our experience and expertise in\u00a0 renovation in Tennessee. Here\u2019s what you can expect from the Summit & Stone Design Build throughout your project:<\/p>

Cost Estimating<\/b><\/p>

First, we evaluate your job to understand your goals and create a detailed proposal. We listen to what you love, and what you want to change. After we take in your vision, we\u2019ll take measurements, complete a field sketch and take photos.\u00a0<\/p>

Then we will develop a clear, accurate proposal and cost estimate. We stand by our estimates \u2014 the agreed-upon project price will not change unless there is a change to the project scope, and we\u2019ll shop around if needed to provide you with pricing you can count on.<\/p>

Design & Pre-Construction<\/b><\/p>

Whether you\u2019ve come to us with drawings or we are developing the design, we\u2019ll work in lockstep to review floorplans and perspectives, review selections, handle permitting and answer any questions you have. This is where we start to assemble our field team, order all materials, and populate your client portal with all the info you\u2019ll need to stay updated throughout the project.\u00a0<\/p>

Scheduling and Construction<\/b><\/p>

Our attention to detail doesn\u2019t stop once construction begins. We start your job when we say we will, and we will maintain that punctuality through the entire project. With Summit & Stone Design Build handling your home remodel or new build, you will never look around and wonder, \u201cWhere is my contractor?\u201d During the project, we\u2019ll meet whenever needed, so you feel fully informed and involved. If scope changes arise, feel confident knowing that we will get your approval and a signature before making any changes to our agreement.<\/p>

Team<\/b><\/p>

We only work with the best to deliver exceptional results for your construction project. Our employees and trade partners are experienced, courteous, professional, and the best in our industry. We carry all of the licenses and necessary insurance to protect you and your home. We have connections in every trade and industry that are reputable, reliable, and trustworthy.\u00a0<\/p>

Project Management<\/b><\/p>

Stay fully up-to-date through multiple channels. We provide direct contact to our team, including our owners, throughout the project via phone, email, and text. In addition, you\u2019ll have regular progress updates and visibility into our state-of-the-art project management software. This includes scheduling, progress photos, detailed information about your finish choices, and any change orders you\u2019ve requested. Transparency is the key to our success.\u00a0<\/p>

After the Build<\/b><\/p>

We don\u2019t consider your job complete until you are personally satisfied with the final product. Then, after you move in, you will be protected with a one-year warranty on our workmanship and an in-depth final walkthrough. We strive to build lasting relationships with our clients. Not only is the process of working with Summit & Stone Design Build smooth and easy, but we are here for support long after your build is complete.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
