| Initial
Consultation
The
initial consultation consists of meeting at the
client's office to discuss project feasibility,
design concerns, ideas, and budgeting. Our first
step is listening to your needs, desires and budget.
We then interpret those needs and desires and convert them into solutions
that are creative, functional and aesthetically
pleasing. We also advise you on how to best control
costs without sacrificing project integrity.
Feasibility
Study & Preliminary Design
Once
you have approved the preliminary design, our
design team starts working on detailed plans and
specifications. This phase is closely coordinated
with construction staff, and work proceeds according
to a predetermined schedule. During this stage
we will conduct a basic study of the project including
measurements, initial drawings, a check on zoning
restrictions, etc. This gives you a better understanding
of what is involved in the process as well as
a rough estimate of costs.
Selections
and Final Design
Once
you decide that the project is feasible and within
budget constraints, you proceed with making your
project selections, i.e., selecting cabinets,
windows, doors and other key components. The design is refined and detailed
construction plans are also developed as well
as detailed job costing.
Our
formal and informal communications ensure that
all your questions are answered, expectations
are met, and that your project remains on schedule
and on budget.
Construction
During
the construction phase of the project all permits are procured, our crews arrive,
and weekly meetings with the Project Manager
are set-up to update you on progress, answer
any questions and to make sure everything is running
as planned.
The
result of our detailed process is greater efficiency
in production, more control over costs, better
communication, greater accountability and a smooth
transition from design through construction. Once the
project is complete, the Project Manager will
walk through the project with you and devise a
"punch-list" for all final touch-up
items. This final step assures your satisfaction.
Project
Completion
Kort
will also deliver a one-year warranty on the work
performed. At Kort, we stand behind our quality
workmanship on every project. We will follow-up
with a detailed client satisfaction survey so
you can tell us about your experience.
