designer, Olga Badovinac, will guide you through the process. Whether you are remodeling an existing space, adding on, or building from scratch, Olga and the rest of the Modern Roots team will work with you to transform your ideas into reality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efba0ba17fa93716cded6aa/6c99881b-616b-45d6-b37a-1fd09114222d/Olga+2.jpg Design Process - Communicating Your Concept During the first meeting we hope to learn and discuss your vision, budget, and potential challenges for the project. At this time we can review any collected ideas, photos, or plans you have to share. We will walk you through the process and explain the details. Typically we will start with general concepts and work towards specifics. We may also take some preliminary measurements and photos that will help us come up with some design concepts and rough budget calculations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efba0ba17fa93716cded6aa/1595521207734-Y43AWAU1H0PETGCLPX60/Olga+Plan+2.jpg Design Process - Bringing It All Together The In-Depth Design phase includes continued design development and refinements up to the permit and construction drawings. It also includes consultation with subcontractors and suppliers, and making selections for things like fixtures and finishes. At this time we will begin to put together a concept schedule for the project and the finalize the budget estimates. During this phase we will meet with you several times to collaborate and share ideas and get the project ready to start. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efba0ba17fa93716cded6aa/0d7dcd1b-6eaa-465c-a343-f3e786610635/Cho+Plan+1.jpg Design Process - Exploring and Defining Once you decide to move forward, we will begin with some preliminary designs, outline the project scope, and create rough budgets. We will take additional measurements, review the lot plan, set-backs, basic regulations, utilities, and do a basic viability analysis. Once we have generated sketches, drawings, and other written information, we will meet again to review and fine tune the direction. Usually by the end of this phase you will be able to select a final direction for your project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efba0ba17fa93716cded6aa/0cff5364-a362-48d5-81c4-aa2fce4bad5f/Hands.jpg Design Process - Guidance and Support Once the work begins, Olga will provide design support to guide you through to the completion of your project. She will help you prepare the final details and fine tune the space to match your vision. https://www.modernroots-db.com/community daily 0.75 2020-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efba0ba17fa93716cded6aa/1595712222379-X8RV1EZQBMRE69JQBBSU/ICM%2Bphoto.jpg Community https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efba0ba17fa93716cded6aa/1595712840131-NPHLUEZWJZPL8C28B67J/Shelter-House-Logo.jpg Community https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efba0ba17fa93716cded6aa/1595713012554-W4GUOUG4IEX6AJ1KFA6P/Habitat+House.jpg Community https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efba0ba17fa93716cded6aa/1595713629007-5DSJB32PURF26NNUGGID/Icorr+photo.jpg Community https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efba0ba17fa93716cded6aa/1595713420551-Q0MZIN6OIHUKR6ZKZ04N/CommUnity_FTCC_Stacked_Color+copy.jpg Community https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efba0ba17fa93716cded6aa/1595713811881-DDEZWK2WRHUGCJ72OH1V/Open+Heartland.jpg Community https://www.modernroots-db.com/project-management daily 0.75 2023-11-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efba0ba17fa93716cded6aa/6a060c0c-53e5-4303-bf62-c549cae0c2b8/Thelen+2.jpg Project Management - Our System To unify the entire process into a system, we have evolved into what is referred to as a Design/Build firm. We have our own in-house design team effectively analyzing and preparing the project, and a crew with the construction expertise to build it. Our system integrates the design, estimating, and communication to achieve a reliable budget prior to start. This is called the negotiated design approach. In a cooperative environment we all work together to value engineer the project as it develops. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efba0ba17fa93716cded6aa/361b202f-dc2e-4e03-9192-9fce31ba0b7e/Manaligod+3.jpg Project Management - Developing the Project After our initial discussions we will provide you with a ballpark estimate for your project at no cost. This information will allow you to make informed decisions about whether or not to proceed with the designs and developing the budget further. At this point we will provide you with project development contract with cost estimates for these services. It is important to develop the drawings and pricing simultaneously so that we end up with a final design that meets your budget. Our estimates show our costs for each step with the project management fees and markup added separately. This provides you with maximum transparency in the pricing. Once drawings and estimates are finalized and you review and approve all the documents it’s time to build! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efba0ba17fa93716cded6aa/cb9b885d-d778-4aec-877e-d1bb7ebb4e97/John+on+the+Jointer.jpg Project Management - Getting Work Done The construction phase of a project revolves around the schedule. Construction scheduling is more of an art than a science. Although things generally proceed according to plan, it’s best to expect the schedule to be modified as the project evolves. During this time we will manage and organize all of the people and materials involved and coordinate the flow of the project. In keeping with our cooperative approach we will meet with you regularity and keep you informed via email, text, phone calls, and personal meetings. Needless to say, predictability is the key to success at this point, and it allows us to make the schedule more science than art. It’s in everyone’s best interest to get you back in your house enjoying the space as soon as possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efba0ba17fa93716cded6aa/d2233ccd-81f9-4d7b-8fa3-028ede369872/1+Klitgaard+Final.jpg Project Management - Finishing Efficiently As the project nears completion we will put together what’s called a “punch” list with outstanding items yet to finish. This is also a collaborative effort and we welcome your input on any additional desires, requirements, or overlooked obligations. A good punch list outlines all the little details that need to be buttoned up to complete the project so we can finish as efficiently as possible. Once the punch list tasks are complete, we remove all of our equipment, do a final clean up, and prepare the space so you can settle back in and enjoy your new home.
