Home Renovation Discovery & Design Process
Whether it is a bathroom renovation, a new addition or a multi-million dollar custom
award winning residence the Alair process follows the identical steps. The initial stage
known as the Design and Estimation Process is a detailed process in which the project is
planned, designed and estimated in great detail. It is this investigation and design process
that allows Alair Homes to then follow up with a seamless construction process.
During the
proprietary construction process every detail is accessible to Alair clients online 24 hours a
day to view project details, schedules, sub trade quotes, pricing in order to give Alair clients
100% control over every single item regardless how small. Click here to download the complete Home Renovation process guide.

We sit down with you to review zoning and permitting and determine any solutions at this point, as well as the cost estimate. After this meeting takes place, you will determine whether or not the preliminary cost estimate presented is in line with your expectations and decide if you wish to proceed to the formal designing stages for your new project.

Communication will take place throughout the construction process both at our scheduled construction meetings as well as continually on our Client/Builder Portal. As different milestones are hit in the construction budget an automated request is sent out to the client requesting specific selections.
5. Milestone Billings

As each Milestone is met that requires payment, a payment request is sent out to the client. The client will then either submit payment for work completed to date or request that their lender visit the property to approve and release funds. Each milestone is pre-determined in the Construction agreement and states the amount due at each milestone reached.
2. Construction Start

When building permits are obtained and the details from our Pre-Construction start meeting are complete we will commence construction.
4. Builder Confirmation

As each of the detailed selections are made, the quotes are obtained by our team and reposted for client approval. This allows Alair Clients to make changes/alterations as they see fit throughout the project. No decision requiring detailed selection or cost approvals proceeds without our clients reviewing and approving. There is a steady flow of open communication throughout the project keeping our clients up to speed and in complete control of the job.
6. Project Completion

When the project is completed the Builder and client will conduct a completion inspection and walkthrough. At this meeting the mechanical systems are reviewed, as well as a detailed inspection of any concerns the client may have. Final completion invoice is submitted for client approval.
