Your Remodeling Project: What Happens Next at Bel Air Construction
THANKS FOR REACHING OUT!
What Happens Now?
We believe great remodeling begins with great communication. Here’s what you can expect:
- A member of our team will personally follow up within one business day to schedule a time for a discovery meeting to discuss your project goals, timeline, and how we work.
- From there, we’ll guide you through the clear process below to turn your ideas into a beautifully built reality.
1. Discovery Meeting
Purpose: An initial conversation to learn about your goals, lifestyle, and space.
- Held via phone, Zoom, or at our Design Center & Showroom
- We focus on listening: your goals, frustrations, dreams, and timeline
- Understand your home’s story, your family dynamic, and any upcoming events
- Explore your inspiration (Pinterest, HGTV, Houzz)
- Share creative ideas and industry insights
- Begin early budget expectations (no commitments yet!)
Why not in your home? We want to stay focused on your big-picture vision, not just the walls in front of us. Our Design Center & Showroom gives us tools, samples, and space to imagine without distraction.
2. Site Visit
Purpose: A detailed documentation of your space.
- For interiors: We take measurements and photos onsite
- For exteriors: We use Hover technology to create accurate 3D models
- Still no obligation or payment at this stage
- Everything we gather informs your design and options
3. Design Meeting
Purpose: A no-cost, no-obligation meeting to review your project vision and budget.
- Held in our Design Center & Showroom
- Introduce our team, process, and tools (like BuilderTrend)
- Provide a ballpark budget based on your goals
- If aligned, a retainer (typically $10K-$25K) transitions you to the design phase. The entire retainer is applied to the project costs or project total.
4. Design Phase
Purpose: Collaborative design and selection process tailored to your goals.
Interior Designer:
- Visits your home to understand lifestyle and context
- Guides you through inspiration boards and selections (cabinets, tile, flooring, etc.)
- 95% of choices are typically made in a single showroom meeting
CAD Designer:
- Builds a 3D version of your current space
- Prepares 2-3 realistic design options using your selections
- You interact live with designs—move walls, adjust features, and see pricing updates in real-time
5. Pre-Construction Conference
Purpose: A final alignment meeting before construction begins.
- Held at your home with your Designer and Project Manager
- Review scope, drawings, expectations, start times, materials, and schedules
- Everything is clarified upfront—no surprises later
6. Construction Begins
Purpose: The exciting part—your vision takes shape!
- BuilderTrend used to share daily logs, photos, and updates
- Materials are pre-ordered and stored on-site to avoid delays
- You can comment directly on project updates
- Payment is split into stages (start, progress, completion)
- We end with a full walkthrough, professional cleaning, and a 5-Year Warranty
