Back to Blog 2024-06-07 At Daniel Builders we’re fortunate to have great employees who understand a simple principle: successful remodels require careful planning and communication. In this blog you’ll meet Vicki Jordan, the first point of contact with our prospective clients. If you’re wondering where to start your remodel, Vicki provides valuable insight on the beginning of the process! Building Trust Blog (BTB): How are phone conversations between a general contractor and prospective clients typically arranged? Vicki: People start the process via our website, by going to the Getting Started form . Once that form is completed, I email them and set up a time for our initial phone call. BTB: What conversation topics are discussed during the initial phone call? Vicki: We discuss their project ideas based on the overview they provide via the Getting Started form . During the first phone call, we clarify a few important details including the scope of work. It’s very conversational. The prospective client may be interested in a home addition, a basement conversion, a home remodel, or a commercial remodel. We’ve also helped clients who wanted to build an accessory dwelling unit / tiny house in their backyard! BTB: How do you determine who is a good fit for the Daniel Builders remodeling process? Vicki: We value our process and have seen it produce many successful remodels and additions. If someone sees the benefit of our process, it’s a good indicator they’re the right fit for Daniel Builders. If someone attempts to eliminate steps in our process, another general contractor is likely a better fit for them. BTB: Are you saying Daniel Builders won’t ever modify their remodeling process? Vicki: Not at all. We can and do make special arrangements for our clients. Time constraints are one of the most common accommodations we make. For example, we have planned remodeling projects around a client’s surgery to ensure that they could recover without construction noise. A second accommodation we often make is the meeting format. While we prefer face-to-face contact for its relational value, we serve many clients who remodel a local property while living in another area of the country. In these situations, we provide updates via email and video conferencing. We also provide photos via our online platform so the client can stay informed of our team’s real-time progress. In these instances, it’s best when the client is very responsive and available throughout the remodeling process. BTB: What other topics are discussed during the initial call? Vicki: I ask about past remodeling experiences, expectations, and budget. Quoting happens later in our process, but I can provide a benchmark for a particular area of the home – general bathroom remodel cost or kitchen remodel cost, for example. I also ask how they heard about Daniel Builders. BTB: How long does this initial conversation typically last? Vicki: Somewhere between 15 to 30 minutes. BTB: What happens after your conversation? Vicki: If a project seems like the right fit for both parties, I schedule a Project Vision Meeting (PVM). I also send a survey to the client to help our design team better understand their preferences. During the PVM meeting, one of our team members (a Project Guide) visits the client at their home for about an hour, maybe two, depending on the size of the remodel. BTB: Then what happens? Vicki: A week or two after the PVM, the client will receive a broad scope of work and a range of cost for the project. If the client is comfortable with the scope of work and projected range, they sign a Design agreement and move into our Design phase. BTB: How long does the Design process take? Vicki: It depends on the scope, complexity of the remodel, and the client’s availability to make selections and decisions. It can be anywhere from a month to four months. When Design is complete, the client receives a detailed scope of work, architectural drawings (if necessary), a complete list of all the selections, and a fixed price quote. At this point, the client signs a Build agreement and moves into the Build phase. Much effort goes into the Design process, so the client can know exactly what they are getting. Clarity for everyone involved is important to eliminate surprises during Build. This approach is all part of how we’re Building Trust. BTB: What is best part of your role? Vicki: I enjoy getting to know our clients, hearing their stories, and learning about their passions. I especially love explaining how we build trust through our workmanship warranty and weekly updates. Clients find our responsiveness very reassuring, especially clients who don’t live at the property full-time. For clients who plan to reside at the site during the remodel, I enjoy assuring them that our team is sensitive and respectful of their privacy, especially when it comes to aging parents and young children. We truly value client feedback that discusses not just the quality of our work but the relationships we have built and how our clients felt while interacting with our team.

A room can go from being dark to being filled with natural light almost instantly. Choosing the right window treatments for your space and your needs is an art. BUILDING TRUST BLOG WINDOW TREATMENTS Choosing the right window treatments for your space and your needs is an art. Back to Blog 2023-08-02 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKRyBxMpUzs A room can go from being dark to being filled with natural light almost instantly. Choosing the right window treatments for your space and your needs is an art. Selecting the wrong window treatments can make a space seem incomplete and the windows look like an afterthought. “Dressing your windows is both about form and function. Yes, it is a vital finishing piece to make your space look aesthetically complete and even show personality, but it also gives you control over the light, ambiance, view and temperature in the room. ” says Hailey Evans owner of Design Your Dream . Here are five qualities to consider when selecting window treatments. Precision is a Prerequisite - The precision of the window treatments is necessary as it corresponds to the shape of the existing windows. Getting specific here involves knowing what type of window frame, as well as home style, receiving the treatment. For example, an arched window may take a valance treatment with overlapping fabric for high-end spaces versus standard slat blinds. The treatments that are tailored to "fit all" are useful for standard but windows with more character and flare should exude their potential. Durability is Indispensable - When choosing your options for your windows, durability is a must since it will be utilized daily. Quality material will contribute not only to the look of the treatment but also to its functionality. Materials to consider are wood, bamboo, and metal hardware, whereas sheer fabric or heavy drapery won’t be your best option. Functionality is Fundamental - What are your needs? Answering that question will narrow your search to the window treatment required. Select a treatment based on your comforts and everyday use. For some, privacy can be the focus while others tend toward blackout curtains for their young kids or request patterned curtains over Roman shades. Either way, a selection will be based on how the room will be utilized, as well as what maximizes comfort. Beauty is a Basic Necessity - Functionality is important, but a treatment must also provide just the right visual aesthetic. The pitfall would be comprising the overall look of the space. If items are competing, it creates a chaotic and overwhelming environment. On the contrary, a window treatment that suits the space ensures a calming and welcoming environment. Safety is Most Significant - Safety is an essential consideration, especially when young children live in the home. Faulty hardware or installation malfunctions are potential hazards. Being aware of safety pitfalls prior to selecting the treatment leads to selecting the right treatment without regret. Even treatments for a bachelor pad require an awareness of safety implications. Are you considering a major custom remodel of your home? Getting the window treatments right are very much part of a successful Guide-Design-Build remodel.

Call it a Guest House, Granny Flat or Tiny Home. BUILDING TRUST BLOG ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT Call it a Guest House, Granny Flat or Tiny Home. Back to Blog 2021-01-26 They are known by many names. Guest House, Granny Flat, In-Law Suite, and Garage Apartment are a few. Officially, they are designated Accessary Dwelling Units or ADUs. ADUs can be inside, attached or completely detached from a single-family home. Many find this living arrangement beneficial, including multigenerational households , individuals needing care, live-in aides, remote workers seeking a designated workspace , those who host long term guests, or even empty nesters renting their home. Here are 5 types of ADUs. Detached New Construction - Think cottage or pool house. Zoning and permitting are often the biggest challenge for this ADU. Many governing municipalities don’t want them on your property. Once you get past that red tape, there’s another hurdle - Price. Designing and building a normal size house (1500 - 2000sq ft) is a far better value (more bang for your buck) than a small custom house (900sq ft or less). Less expensive alternatives, such as shipping containers , are fun to explore but present other challenges. Privacy is the biggest benefit of this ADU. Garage Apartment - Permitting isn’t as much of an issue if the garage is attached. If detached, then the same zoning and permitting issues apply as discussed in #1 . Expense for this type of project go way down if you already own a garage. Finishing off the room over your existing garage is a great way to utilize space you already have, without adding to your home’s footprint. Storage is the biggest advantage of a garage apartment. No other ADU comes with a full-size garage. Addition or Bump Out - Our Design-Build team recently completed one of these, and the process was extremely straightforward and smooth. Additions don’t have the same permitting hurdles as detached dwellings. Plus, they can bring a higher ROI should you decide to move. Just remember, recouping 100% or more on any renovation investment is never likely. Basement Conversion - This ADU has multiple advantages. Obviously, you need to start with a basement, not everyone has one. If you have one, supplying water and power won’t be a problem because it’s already available in the home. Also, expect lower energy bills because the space is regulated by the earth’s temperature. A basement ADU can easily be reverted or reintegrated into the primary dwelling should you or the next homeowner no longer want it. Ceiling height is a potential downside. Basement ceilings are typically under 7’. And for privacy’s sake, you’ll want to create your own exterior door, which can easily be a $10K expense. Internal (non-basement) ADU - Examples include converting an attic or entire floor in a multi-story house to an ADU. External doors may or may not be necessary. The potential for overcrowding is high with this option, which would lead to a major loss of privacy. A good Design-Build team won't let that happen. They will ensure maximum privacy during Design and only move the project forward when the client is comfortable. Does an ADU make sense for you and your family?

Understand the Design Build advantage before your undergoes a custom renovation. BUILDING TRUST BLOG WHY DESIGN BUILD Understand the Design Build advantage before your undergoes a custom renovation. Back to Blog 2017-03-07 A Design Build approach is highly advisable when your home is about to undergo a custom renovation. What makes a major renovation stressful? Well, for starters, a lot of money (not to mention your home) is at stake. Then you have an endless list of “what ifs?” Like, what if my contractor and I aren't on the same page? Or, what if we have unknown expenses? What if the finished project doesn't come close to what we expected? It's not hard to see how quickly stress can build. Renovation stress needs to be addressed well before a project begins. Failure to get clarity may result is some serious misery. Daniel Builders addresses renovation stress with a Design-Build approach. Design-Build is a process that allows our customers to “kick the tires” (so to speak) before committing to a major renovation. Here’s how it works. We start the process by listening. We carefully listen to you describe your project in your own words. This usually happens in a meeting at your home. After you articulate your renovation ideas and a general budget, we craft a Design/Build agreement. The agreement guarantees 3 important deliverables - a detailed scope, plans (and possibly renderings) and a price. So how does Design-Build minimize renovation stress? Here are 5 stress-reducing reasons to choose Design-Build for your next major renovation. Clarifies Expectations - In renovation work the phrase “I didn’t expect...” is usually followed by something negative. Like, I didn’t expect my project to take so long. Or I didn’t expect my contractor to use such cheap materials. And the sword is double edged. Contractors can easily feel the same way when customers aren't communicating. Successful renovations require both parties share the same expectations. A Design/Build approach clarifies the design, scope, cost, material selections and timeline so those “I didn’t expect…” conversations don’t happen. Saves Time and Money - Without a detailed scope, design, and quote you're basing your renovation on a lot of assumptions. Assuming anything in a renovation is risky, and often leads to re-work (ie. doing it over), which is time-consuming and costly. Who ultimately pays for re-work? The contractor? The customer? Both to some degree. Design-Build allows you to avoid this troublesome scenario altogether by clarifying scope, design, and quote before construction begins. Design-Build also allows the contractor to provide input early in the design process. Having a contractor participate in the design phase ensures the project is feasible. This approach puts contractor and architect on the “same page” from the start. Simplifies the Process - As the diagram indicates, a Design-Build approach creates fewer steps in the renovation process. Translation: it’s efficient. The customer isn’t required to evaluate and coordinate among architects, engineers (if necessary), and contractors bidding on the project. Instead, every step of the project is predetermined to eliminate unnecessary steps. Provides an Exact Price - Ever experience sticker shock? Sticker shock occurs when you're billed much more than you expected. Not fun. Better to know the price before it’s too late. This is exactly why “estimates” are so dangerous. They typically change, and often in an upward direction. A quote based on a Design-Build approach doesn’t change. All factors contributing to cost (such as time, materials, and labor) are carefully calculated based on your budget. Only one person can change your price - you. Creates Peace of Mind - Uncertainty leads to stress. Design/Build removes uncertainty and clarifies the outcome. As mentioned earlier, its the closest thing to “kicking the tires” the renovation world has to offer. Knowing the outcome allows you to relax and turn your attention to more important matters. Like how much you, your family and friends will enjoy your newly renovated home! Are you contemplating a major home renovation?
