Our Process

The Vive Home Transformations team is dedicated to creating a home remodeling experience that our clients actually enjoy – we promise it’s possible! We invite you to review the step-by-step summary of our process below. You might notice construction is late in the process – and it’s true! Our team puts a lot of energy into the preconstruction, or construction planning, process to ensure everything goes smoothly once work begins. That’s a big part of what sets us apart from other contractors – in addition to our talented, experienced in-house carpentry.

Introductions
Every great relationship starts with getting to know each other. We take the time to learn about you and your remodeling ideas, and what you are looking for in a design-build partner.

Onsite Visit
We come to your home to measure and evaluate your space, better understand what you want to change and why, and together, brainstorm solutions that will make you fall in love with your home all over again.

Financing Decisions
We provide a budget range to help you plan. If needed, we can offer referrals and other support in your search for a trusted financial partner.

Preconstruction Schedule and Agreement
We officially begin our partnership. You commit to us through the first of two agreements. In turn, we establish a milestone schedule and commit our team to your renovation.

Designing Your Transformation
Our in-house team designs your remodel. If you already have your plans, we can work with those as well.

Expert Consultation
We schedule site visits with as-needed experts including HVAC, plumbing, electrical and insulation to ensure these systems will work efficiently once your home is transformed.

Managing Your Budget
Throughout the design process, we review your budget to ensure we’re on track.  We provide options that empower you to make informed decisions about how your budget is allocated. We also work with our partners to establish expectations for construction.

Remodeling Schedule and Agreement
We lead a competitive bid process and finalize the budget and schedule. Then you sign the second agreement to begin construction.

Construction and Selections
Our master remodelers get to work, and our interior designers walk you through selections for every element of your remodel.

Welcome Home
We walk you through your home transformation, and you start enjoying your new home at the same address.
