A Clear Path From First Call to Move-In
One of the biggest fears clients have isn't the cost or the construction; it's the unknown. Not knowing what happens next, when to make decisions, or whether the project is on track. Conrad & Conrad removes that uncertainty. Over four generations of building, we've refined a clear building process, so you always know exactly where your project stands and what comes next.
Knowing the steps ahead of time changes everything
Knowing the steps ahead of time does three things: it keeps your budget predictable, your timeline realistic, and your stress low. Here’s exactly how we take you from your first conversation to the day you move in.
14 steps, one trusted team
This is Conrad & Conrad's actual client process, the same path every client follows with us.
Call
It starts with a simple conversation. Please tell us what you're hoping to build, and we'll listen, answer your questions, and see if we're the right fit for each other.
Meet at Your House or Property
We come to you. Seeing your lot or existing home in person helps us understand your vision, your site, and the possibilities before anything is on paper.
Discuss Budget Expectations
We get honest about numbers early. Talking through your budget up front means the plan we create actually fits your investment: no wasted time, no unrealistic promises.
Design Contract
When we're aligned, we formalize the design phase. This keeps everyone on the same page and protects your investment as we start shaping your home.
Design Your Home
We can lead the design of your home or collaborate with your designer. Together, we turn your ideas, must-haves, and inspiration into a clear design direction.
Preliminary Plans
You'll see the first draft of your home on paper. This is where the vision starts to feel real, and where we refine layouts and features based on your feedback.
Pricing
We source accurate pricing from our trusted suppliers and subcontractors, so the numbers are grounded in reality, not rough guesses.
Finalize Plans
We refine every detail until the plans are exactly right. Getting this step nailed down is what prevents costly changes later.
Contract
With final plans and pricing in hand, we put everything in a clear contract, fixed-price or cost-plus, whichever works best for you.
Permitting
We handle the permits, paperwork, and approvals for you, navigating the local requirements so you don't have to.
Start Construction
We break ground, and your home begins to take shape. This is the moment months of planning start becoming something you can walk through.
Construction
Our vetted crews build your home to a standard we never compromise, and we keep you informed at every stage, including the details and issues most builders skip over.
Punch List and Finals
Before we call it done, we walk through together and perfect every finishing touch, so the home is exactly what you were promised.
Move In
You step into the home you've been picturing all along, built right, built on time, and built by a family that stands behind it.
