Don't just dream it, Design & Build it!
Together with MBS, you can create the lifestyle you desire.
Our Design-Build experience gives
you flexibility and confidence through each step of the
process. Equally important, we strive to make each of those
steps satisfying and fun. After meeting to determine your needs
and the scope of your project, we will guide you through the
following project stages:
Conceptual
Design and Planning
To make your dream a reality, we start with ideas—yours and
ours. You will work one-on-one with a project designer, who
will listen to your thoughts and then create several different
design schemes to illustrate the possible approaches you might
take. Together, you and your project designer will explore
alternatives and material options to begin developing a
conceptual plan with a preliminary budget for your project.
Design
Development
Once you have decided on a design approach, you and your
project designer will begin turning these ideas into a working
strategy. We help you firm up your choice of materials and your
budget, creating meticulous plans, drawings, and specification
lists. At this point in the project, we fine-tune your goals
and address every detail. Careful planning at this stage
reduces construction costs and streamlines the construction
schedule.
Construction
Documentation
Now we are ready to create the detailed documents necessary
for construction. These will include structural plans,
mechanical plans, building sections, final specifications, and
final pricing, as well as your construction schedule. We will
handle the permitting process, prepare the construction
agreement for your review and signature, and appoint an
experienced project manager to oversee the upcoming work.
Construction
As your primary point of contact, your project manager
guides you through the construction process. We take great care
to safeguard your home, your family, your belongings, and your
daily routine. This may include sealing off the work area,
covering floors and walkways with protective materials, and
setting up a temporary kitchen if necessary. You can count on
us to keep a job book on site, with a complete set of plans, a
schedule, and daily project reports. We provide regular
updates—and the project site is left broom clean each day.
Celebration
We will take many measures to
make certain that your project experience is a good one—and
when everything is done, we will introduce you to your new
space, walking you through it to demonstrate its features and
fine-tune where needed. At this point, a celebration is in
order. Sometimes we arrive with hot coffee and a basket of
muffins, or we may pop open a bottle of champagne and propose a
toast. Whatever form your celebration takes, you can be sure
that we are honored and delighted to have joined you on this
journey.
