STEP 2: The Conceptual Estimate
Based on the ideas generated at the initial visit we determine a snapshot estimate of your budget and project requirements.

STEP 3: The Initial Design & Preliminary Estimate
We will help you select an architect or designer to fully develop your ideas. Once the initial design drawings are ready we will meet with you to review the plans, initial selections and your budgets.  Using this info we will generate a recommended budget.

STEP 4: The Scope of Work (your firm budget)
To develop the Scope of Work, you will attend planning meetings in order to make your choices of materials and certain design elements known. We will offer suggestions concerning the cost of completing your project based on the choices you make.

The goal of this stage is to identify any gray areas, and create a Scope of Work that includes every material and detail used in the building or remodel of your home.

Our goal is to increase clarity, identify and manage problems early on, have few change orders, and complete your home in a timely manner. You, your design team, Patty, and members of Boardwalk Builders’ estimating and production team may attend meetings.

STEP 5: Reaching an Agreement and the Start of Construction
The Scope of Work is now completed, all materials and prices are determined, the schedule is set and the agreement is signed. Once construction starts you begin to see your dream home develop.

As you enter this stage of work, you will continue to develop your relationship with your professional and courteous production team whose responsibility is to meet the building schedule, ensure quality and cost control, coordinate all work done, answer your questions, and address any new ideas you may have.

Yes, we do accommodate your new ideas, and will calculate necessary changes to your budget. A change order is written, signed, and your new requests will be incorporated into the work on your home. Some requests create new time frames which are reflected in a revised completion date.

Patty will continue to remain involved in your project, visiting the site often, attending meetings with you and our lead carpenter, and is available for any questions you may have during the building or remodeling of your home.

As part of our quality control process we work with Guild Quality. They specialize in third-party customer satisfaction surveys for building professionals. Your survey response will be analyzed for specific recommendations for how to imrove Boardwalk's offerings and performance for you.

Of course, your questions and recommendations are welcome anytime, and we are always only a phone call away.
