At Great Northern Builders, our priority is providing you with top-tier quality workmanship and unrivaled customer service. We’ve helped countless clients throughout the Twin Cities with a myriad of projects including, new builds, home remodeling, basement, bathroom, kitchen remodeling, complete exterior and commercial. We can confidently say that we can do it all.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to our unparalleled customer-focused 5-stage process:
Discovery
Our relationship begins with an over-the-phone discussion where we gather general information about your project. We also use this opportunity to schedule your in-home consultation.
Next, we’ll have a complimentary in-home consultation where we will discuss your vision, set realistic budgets, and answer all your questions. We strive to give you a clear picture of the construction process. We do recommend all decision-makers to be present and to minimize distractions to maximize this session, which typically lasts 60-90 minutes.
Design Development
Once we’ve set the groundwork, a GNB designer will work closely with you to develop a design that meets your requirements. We’ll also arrange a site visit to take measurements and photos for the conceptual design.
At this stage, you’ll review the conceptual drawings, giving your feedback and approval before we proceed with the proposal and construction contract.
Proposal Finalization
Upon your approval, the GNB team will finalize the project proposal details. Once you’re satisfied, we’ll schedule an in-person meeting to sign the contract and collect the down payment.
Then, we’ll finalize the selections for flooring, cabinetry, countertops, appliances, and more to ensure your vision is brought to life.
With all selections finalized, we’ll create your project timeline, outlining the schedule for work completion and payment due dates.
Construction Phase
Once the final design and selections are approved, we can create your schedule using our interactive CRM program. This tool allows us to build the job schedule, share all relevant documents, send and track invoices and payments, and document all project communications.
This streamlined process ensures smooth project execution and provides you with 24/7 access to all information.
Once the schedule is finalized, the work begins. The upfront effort guarantees accuracy and timeliness throughout the project. Our aim is to work efficiently and maintain high standards in quality and craftsmanship. Ultimately, we want to see a happy customer in the space we’ve helped create together.
Post-Construction Support
Once the project is completed, our team will professionally clean and assess the space. You and your project manager will then walk through the newly remodeled area to address any questions you may have. At Great Northern Builders, we live by the motto, “Your Contractor for Life,” and we truly mean it. We want you to enjoy your new space and look forward to hearing from you again.
