DESIGN-BUILD PROCESS
Step-1
Communications and Exploration
Every big journey starts with a small first step. Similarly, for us, building a big and strong relationship usually starts with an initial inquiry, starting with a call, text message, or response to our social media post by our prospective client. 90% of our clients find us through referrals and word of mouth.
All good relationships begin with good communication. Following an initial phone call, Fenil Patel, the owner, will have an in-home or virtual conversation with you to discuss what’s important to you – your vision, goals, priorities, and scope. You’ll have lots of questions, as will we. We try to listen more than we talk. We develop a general understanding of your expectations, goals, needs, motivations, budget, and timeline. We ask many questions with different points of view so we can discover your vision and needs. As a result of this process, you will determine if we’re the right team to bring your vision to life.
Objectives: Shared understanding of your project goals, objectives, and vision. Understand our proprietary design-build process and get acquainted with our design fee agreement.
Step-2
Design Partnership
Once we’ve agreed to work together to design your project, we enter into a design agreement, which is usually 3% to 5% of the project budget. The Ambik team will then come to your home to inspect, measure, photograph, and document the existing space. After the data is collected, the design team will create conceptual drawings, visuals, digital 3D models, mood boards, and other deliverables that can aid the design and selection process. We may meet you in the various showrooms or conduct virtual meetings to review and begin choosing products and finish material selections. Once those critical decisions are made, we will work with our estimation department to develop and present a cost proposal or estimate with allowances, options, and general time frame.
Objective: Product & agree on scope of work, detailed specifications, conceptual plans and 3D images.
Step-3
The Details
We’ll agree with a fixed price after finalizing the design and construction details, including your design and finishing choices. Your project will be completed at the agreed price, with no additional costs unless you make changes during the project. A project plan will be developed, and a tentative start date will be provided as we apply for permits and create final plans. Once the permits are ready, our team will be assembled to start. Well, ahead of beginning any construction, we will review all options for your alternate housing and storage needs.
Objective: Fixed cost agreement, project plan, schedule, permitting needs, and the tentative start date.
Step-4
Build: Pre-Build Preparation
As the estimated permit approval date approaches, our team, including the project manager, designers, and specialty construction members, will meet with you in your home to review the Project Plan: scope, schedule, and design. This will ensure we’re all aligned toward the same goal: a smooth, successful, on-time, and on-budget completion.
To maintain project alignment, you will experience open communication and team meetings (Designer, Project Manager, Lead Carpenter, Plumber, Electrician, etc.).
Build: Construction
As construction begins, we seal off work areas to ensure cleanliness and safety protocols. At the end of each workday, the area is swept and and vacuumed,, and all materials and tools are stored neatly away. If the project plan calls for the house occupants to be moved out, appropriate advance coordination will be done for that arrangement. In any case, the construction crew will have a clear understanding of what areas are to be worked on and what are off-limits.
During construction and throughout the project, you will communicate consistently with your project lead. Site or project issues, questions, and concerns are addressed immediately. A central messaging system involving all key individuals will be established, and the same platform will be used to send progress pictures, finish selection confirmation, and any queries. We will walk through the whole project with you at least once a week and whenever you request it. We continue to strive to make the remodeling experience as exceptional as the final product. We believe this is what sets us apart.
Objective: Project preparation, collaboration and build out.
Step-5
Project Completion
As the project nears completion, you’ll accompany us on a preliminary walkthrough to answer questions and address all final details. Concerns and details will be addressed immediately and to your satisfaction. On final walkthrough, you’ll be given a project binder with plans, product warranties, use and care manuals, and any other information relevant to your project.
Outcome: The transformation is complete, and your new living space is ready for you and your family to enjoy!
