The Artisan Multi-Step Process
"We have all heard the same story from family, friends, and colleagues about their project taking longer and costing more than originally anticipated. It doesn't have to be that way". With the Artisan Multi-Step Process we're able to provide you with a well-defined scope of work, accurate budgets, and scheduling prior to construction.
Step I - Pre-Construction Design & Budget Development
Site Visit and Feasibility - Together we tour the project site and discuss your needs, functionality, and scope of work. We prepare a feasibility report based on city zoning bylaws and requirements.
Conceptual Design - We arrange a pre-design meeting at the city for project assessment. Then, conceptual design drawings with a preliminary budget are produced for our review and discussion.
Design Development A detailed and coordinated design is provided. The floor plans, sections, elevations and typical construction details are completed and ready for the building permit drawings.
Interior Design The interior design drawings and specification packages are produced that contain the selected finishes and fixtures for your project.
Construction Drawings & Budget - The design is developed into a set of construction drawings for building permit submission. Your budget, and schedule is defined and finalized so there are no unexpected surprises.
3D Imaging & Modeling - 3D renderings and other modeling services are available to help you better understand your designs.
Step II - Physical Construction
Project Schedule - You are assigned a dedicated project manager and site supervisor throughout the duration of your project to keep things on track.
Quality Control - your dedicated site supervisor is onsite to manage the day-to-day operations and monitor the work of trade contractors for any deficiencies.
Transparent Accounting - We maintain an effective system of project cost control with our accounting software, where you receive bi-monthly invoices and statements for the work completed.
Step III - Post Construction
Service - The end of construction is not the end of our relationship, you can be rest assured that we will always be available to ensure a lasting positive experience.
Warranty - A comprehensive warranty program of 2-5-10 years comes with each project and provides you with piece of mind and ongoing warranty suppport.
Operations and Manuals - We create a custom owners manual which is supplied to you in a digital format. It contains a complete list of all the services, products, and materials that went into your project, including the photographic journal documentation.
Over the years Artisan has developed its detailed checklists and standard operating procedures for each of these steps. Each project is dynamic and presents its own set of challenges but by following our systems and methodology we can guarantee your project will be a complete success.
