Dwell’s Process is keystone to our ongoing successes with Clients.  Discrete, controlled steps in the Design phase, which put emphasis on preparation and planning, ensure that professional services are delivered efficiently and effectively.  Our experience indicates that this thorough forethought mitigates risk to you during the Build phase, both financially and temporally.

Design

Forensic Examination

At the outset, we conduct a thorough whole house examination – internally and externally – of all the structural and mechanical aspects of your existing home.  From this, we gain a full 360 degree view of the ‘starting point’ of the canvas to be repainted.  The outcome is recognition and understanding of any challenges that may be faced, mitigating unwanted surprises later on in the process.

Feasibility Study

We listen closely to the way you detail your Visions of how your future home is to both look and function.  Equally as important, we listen to the reasons why  you are embarking on this journey.  With these things taken into account, we establish a viable framework, concept drawings and an estimate that works towards your budget and timeframe, with any City-driven considerations (i.e. zoning, forestry, heritage) also factored in.

Proof of Concept

Forensics and Feasibility are brought together with a deeper dive into finish and style selections.  Concept drawings are refined, and further considerations with the City (i.e. Committee of Adjustments) are resolved.   Your Visions are now becoming a reality on screen and paper.

Design Delivery

At the close of the Design Phase, we will have generated for you a detailed and comprehensive set of City-stamped plans, fully construction ready.  In parallel, we deliver a realistic quotation for you that incorporates all aspects of the build, including finish allowances, and any necessary contingencies.  Equally as important, we provide a map of production time frames and related considerations.

 Build

Production

We work closely with a ‘family’ of reputable subcontractors, with whom we have developed strong, trusting relationships over time. This ensures predictability, and maintains high standards of both construction and finish. We also work closely with the Client to keep you apprised of scheduling and logistics, and ensure that you are involved in any critical Client decisions that may arise.  

Fulfillment

Your Vision has now become your new Reality. We walk you through the project, and ensure that you are satisfied on all levels.
