When planning a home addition or renovation in the Denver area, we follow a specific sequence designed to streamline the project and minimize delays. Our Design-Build Services utilize an integrated approach that allows different phases to overlap, ensuring your project moves efficiently from concept to completion.
The typical order of a renovation project includes:
- Design and Planning: We collaborate with you to create detailed construction documents and address structural considerations. Because we manage both design and construction, we can often begin ordering long-lead materials while the final drawings are being wrapped up.
- Permitting: We submit complete permit packages to local municipal offices. In the Denver and Centennial areas, permit reviews typically add two to six weeks to the schedule. We handle the coordination with state agencies, such as the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA), for necessary electrical and plumbing permits.
- Construction: Once permits are issued, on-site work begins. Our design-build methodology allows us to sequence non-permit-dependent tasks earlier to keep the schedule on track. The duration of this phase varies by project type; for example, a Bathroom Remodeling project typically spans 8–12 weeks, while Complete Remodeling or whole-home additions can take 16–24+ weeks.
Every project is unique, and timelines may vary based on site conditions, material availability, and specific permitting requirements. Let us help you get your project started by providing a personalized schedule for your home. Request a Quote or Call Us 24/7 to discuss your vision.
Note: Estimates are preliminary and subject to change after site inspection and a full scope review. Project outcomes and timelines may vary based on site conditions, permitting, material availability, and unforeseen issues. Please consult a licensed contractor for definitive advice; verify licensure with the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA).
