You don't need a plan or a budget to call. 2. **The estimate conversation.** You: Tell us the room, your must-haves, and a budget range if you'd like to share one. We: Ask what you'd change if money were no object, and look at what we can see: panel, plumbing, ceiling, floors. You get: A straight answer on what's realistic, even if it's “this is too big for that budget.” 3. **Design and plan.** You: Pick a direction. Use the mood-board builder if you want to see looks first. We: Design is in-house. We draw it, price it, and list every material. You get: A plan you can read. 4. **Written, fixed-price quote.** You: Read it with a pen. We: Itemize it by phase. You get: One price in writing, plus a list of what's in and what's not. Details below. 5. **The full walkthrough, before you sign.** Dallas: Walks you through the whole project: order of work, who does what, what you'll live without and for how long, what decisions you owe us and by when. You: Ask everything. We: Answer, and change the plan if it's wrong. You get: No “we'll figure it out later.” 6. **Contract and permits.** The contract: Lists the work, the materials, the payment schedule, our license number and who pulls the permits. The law: The down payment can't be more than California allows. See your money. 7. **The build.** In order: Protect the house, demo, rough-in (plumbing, electrical, framing), inspections where the city requires them, close-up, finish work.
