GETTING STARTED

STEP 1

Meet with us to discuss your ideas, plans, rough budget

We create a preliminary budget based on discussions

Second meeting to review preliminary budget

You then decide to proceed or scale back plans

Enter into a pre-construction design contract with Reid Developments to help keep you on time and more importantly on budget!
Arrange preliminary meetings for you with desired Architect(s) or designer(s) to align you with like-minded professionals while keeping everyone on the same page.
Architect/Designer is chosen, great! Reid Developments, yourself and the Architect/Designer will work collaboratively to design your new home or renovation of your dreams.
Once final design is approved by yourself, the Architect/Designer will work on permit submission with the municipality. Know that this involves hiring other professionals (geotechnical engineers, structural engineers, envelope consultants, etc) as per city or municipality requirements.
Once construction drawings are submitted for permit, Reid Developments reviews the drawings and completes a detailed budget for construction.
Upon client approval of the budget, the client and Reid Developments enter into a construction contract.
Once permits are approved by the city/municipality, we start the construction process.

Time delays for city/municipality review of proposed plans (some municipalities are slower than others, check with us for updated timelines in your area)
Lots of client input for what designs/styles you prefer or would like to create OR we can collaborate with a Designer to help with this process.
Input from Reid Developments on costs related to designs/style
Once build/renovation is started, a two-week billing cycle for the duration of the project.
