How we work
How we do what we do
Every project follows our carefully crafted five-step process for creating stunning custom-made living spaces to fit your style and need. From our first conversation to the placement of the final screw, your experience will be pleasant and hassle-free.
From Idea To Reality
Our 5 Star Process
Step 1. No Obligation
Discovery Call
We encourage new customers to engage in a 15-minute discovery session with our design and build specialist. We’ll ask questions about your expectations concerning your timeline, use of the space, and budget. Completing the form helps us help you better.
Ultimately, during this initial conversation, we want to find out whether we are the right match for your home living needs.
Note: Proper fit is important to us. Due to high demand, Contigo Group LLC is unable to take on every request we receive. We carefully assess every inquiry and project. We will advise you during our discovery call whether our company can take on your project or may have to decline due to scope, budget, or location reasons.
Step 2.
On-Site Consultation
To get to know your property, we will conduct a site analysis and in-depth property assessment with our design and build specialist. As we walk around, we will review your plans and begin the process of envisioning a design that will complement your home, define your personal aesthetic, and fit within your established budget.
Note: A payment due before On-Site Consultation
​
Step 3.
Design Phase
​
We will start designing based on consultation information once the design contract is finalized and the first payment is made. Mauricio or a Contigo Group specialist will visit to meet and take important details and precise measurements of your home. We will also share inspirational photographs to help us create a true custom project that fits your style and needs.
The next step involves researching any permitting, zoning, and conservation issues to understand any limitations of your property and any required alterations to the design. Our design team will continue to work on creating the perfect plan for your home renovation!
​
You will receive a detailed presentation with scale drawings, pictures, and details of preselected material and assembly options.
​
Note: Our design retainers start at 5% of the total cost and go up depending on a project’s complexity and the details required. Most projects require
a set of drawings before final quotes can be provided.
Step 4.
Final Proposal
​
We provide clear, upfront pricing for every project. Our final proposal will detail the scope of work and materials before we start the construction process.
Note: Final payment of the design agreement is normally made after approval of the final presentation.
We will also proceed to sign a contract for the construction, and a deposit is required. We move to order materials and define the next possible start day.
​
Step 5.
Construction Begins!
