We are here to provide support
and expert guidance, and make your selection process enjoyable and
rewarding for home additions and home remodeling.
1. We discuss the project briefly over the
phone and answer any questions you may have.
2. Feasibility Meeting:
A visit to your home is arranged. Depending on the complexity,
we may bring our 
architect
with us. If you are interested in remodeling your kitchen for
example, an architect is not needed, but our kitchen designer
would get involved in the 4th step. We want to find out which
parts of the home you want to change, how you are using the various
rooms now, and get an overall picture of what you are trying to
accomplish. We provide some design ideas at this point and take
a first step to formulate what is needed to achieve your goals.
3. Initial Cost Estimate and Timeline
After this initial meeting, we can usually give you a ballpark
cost for the home remodeling and home additions, and the approximate
time of the construction. This is a very important part of the
design process and in determining the scope of the project. Before
you incur the expense of an architect, if needed, you want to
know if it is structurally and financially feasible.
4. Design
After you have reviewed the information so far, we discuss the
details of the project. For projects such as kitchen or bathroom
remodeling, at this point we can generate a cost quotation accompanied
by a detailed specification list. This quotation can include an
allowance for kitchen cabinets and countertops, or if our kitchen
designer has been involved, we will include the kitchen plan and
exact cost of the cabinet layout.
For other projects, we may ask our architect
to look at the project with us. In this case, he will come to
your home with us, listen to your ideas, and suggest some of his
own. The architect will give you a proposal, broken down into
the cost of preliminary drawings and the cost of the working drawings.
The contract for architectural services can be between yourself
and the architect. If you already have an architect, we would
be glad to work with him.
5. Working Plans:
After accepting the proposal, the architect will generate preliminary
drawings. A couple meetings may be needed to finalize the preliminary
drawings. Before the architect is requested to finish the working
drawings, Noll Remodeling can estimate the project costs. At this
point, after you are satisfied with the project and design, the
working plans will be generated for the home remodeling or home
additions.
6. Cost Quotation:
Noll Remodeling then uses the working drawings to generate a cost
quotation accompanied by a detailed specification list.
Contract:
Featuring Corian ® Countertops |
After the cost and work specifications are
approved, a contract is generated and a start date is finalized.
Please note that every home remodeling project
is different, and depending on your preference and your situation,
your project may involve a different sequence than above.
Once the contract is signed, the fun begins.
We will try to make the selection process as painless as possible
for you. Our professional team of experts will be able to guide
you and answer your questions. You will receive a Selection Sheet
summarizing everything that you need to select. It lists: the
item you are selecting, the dollar allowance amount, our recommended
business suppliers, their address, expert contact person, and
phone number.
