Our Process

GETTING STARTED, Planning for SUCCESS

Start the conversation today and call us at 403-277-5525 or contact us for a free consultation. If the scope of your project, timing, and your target budget are a good fit, we’ll gather some basic information and schedule a complimentary, no-obligation one-hour, in-home consultation.

At Kurmak, we aim to make the entire experience of creating your dream space as enjoyable as possible. Starting from your initial consultation, you’ll be treated as part of the team as we’re all working towards a common goal – transforming your vision into reality! Our process is simple yet refined and we’ve included an overview below. Nevertheless, we encourage you to reach out to us to discuss your project in more detail. We understand that each client is unique, and we fully expect your experience to reflect that. From our client feedback, we know that following our process leads to projects being completed on time, within budget, and our clients are thrilled with the result. 

TELL US YOUR STORY

No Obligation Consultation - We’ll start off with a no-obligation, in-home, face-to-face consultation. We’ll take the time to get to know you & understand your goals and vision. Next, we review the space to be transformed and, depending on the size, take any necessary measurements and photographs.

Understanding Your Vision & Style - Your vision, style, special requirements, and target budget will all be documented. Establishing a target budget before designing your project helps ensure your expectations are fulfilled and our team can operate within set boundaries and neither party faces any surprises. Our goal is to create an environment of open communication.

PLAN FOR SUCCESS

Scope of Work, Design & Estimate - Upon completion of the consultation process our designer, with a clear understanding of your vision, goals and target budget will complete a conceptual 2D floor plan. With the conceptual floor plan, our skilled estimator will get to work developing an accurate and comprehensive estimate for bringing your vision to life. With this you will have the peace of mind in knowing and understanding the detailed project costs right from the start.

  • For more complex / multi-room projects, we charge a fee for the conceptual design & estimating.
  • For more in depth design projects, we offer design agreements. A design agreement will allow for more one on one in depth design development and exploration with our designers. 

Schedule & Contract - After the estimate is complete, we’ll schedule another in-person meeting for a detailed review of the estimate. Once all expectations are met, the next step would be to sign a Renovation Agreement.

THE MAGIC OF CREATION

Drawings and Permits - Agreements are signed and everything is in place. Our designers then take the next step to develop detailed design plans for your review, comment, and approval and finally complete the required drawings for building permit. 

THE FUN STUFF

Finish Selections - Next, you get to work closely with our designers to review all the proposed finishes and finalize the finer details of your renovation or custom home building project. 

OFF TO WORK WE GO

Project Tracking & Communication - Once our construction team gets to work, we maintain full communication with you via our innovative online communication portal. You’ll be in constant contact with your designer, who’ll hold regular meetings with you and the lead carpenter on the project.

ENJOY YOUR NEW SPACE

Project Turn-over - Before you know it, the project is complete, and we’ll go through a full review of the work completed work you with you to ensure nothing was missed. Anything that needs correcting will be documented and corrected until everything is completed to your satisfaction. 

Warranty & Service - At Kurmak Builders, we stand behind our work and strive to maintain the relationships built with clients throughout the build process. We’ll perform 2 separate quality assurance walk-throughs within the first year of the project and address any questions or concerns you may have. We stand by our work and care about your home, which is why we offer a comprehensive two-year warranty on all our renovation projects.
