How do you begin planning the Home Remodel?

We always start with our pre-construction phase to ensure that we create the best overall plan with a budget that works for you.

DESIGN/BUILD CONCEPT

We use the Design/Build approach to remodeling that merges design and construction functions. Unlike some General Contractors, we plan all aspects of your remodel. This allows us to streamline your remodel project on paper from inception to completion before we begin.

Key Benefits to the Design/Build Process:

  • Cost Transparency: We provide accurate proposals based on on-site visits with trade partners.
  • Fixed Budget: All aspects are finalized before signing, ensuring a fixed budget.
  • Quality Assurance: Professional designers, skilled craftsmen, and project managers.
  • 3D Renderings: Visualize your design before construction begins.
  • Enhanced Communication: A dedicated project manager keeps you informed.
  • We are leaders, both locally and nationally, in the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI). We participate in their training and certification programs to promote higher levels of professionalism. We are NARI certified as Master Certified Remodeler, Master Certified Kitchen Bathroom Remodeler, Universal Design Professional, and Green Certified Professional.

With dedicated project management, Tri-Lite Builders manages the details while you enjoy the journey.
