PreConstruction
Budget, Design It, Quote It, Build It
Traditionally, a client brings their idea to an architect and/or designer who gathers the client’s hopes, style preferences, and overall vision and then draws “the dream.” This architectural drawing (or series of) then goes to the builder, who assigns costs to the plans and ultimately comes up with the price. From there, the scope of work is either accepted or tweaked to fit the budget. As a Design & Build Firm, we serve as a hybrid between the two industries. We take the dreaming side of designing and architecture and the reality of building costs and meld the two processes together to end with a project that suits your needs, desires and budget.
​
Budget
We begin by setting up an initial meeting in your space for getting to know you and your project with a walk-through.
Our goal is to fully understand your needs and expectations. Recognizing that the ideal table can range from $80 at Walmart to $6,000 at Restoration Hardware, we appreciate that each person's vision involves a balance of cost, function, and aesthetics. To ensure your wish list aligns with your budget, we start with a budget discussion. Following our meeting, we'll create and email you a feasibility study. If everything aligns with your intended budget, we'll proceed to the PreConstruction Agreement.

Design It
The first step in Pre-Construction is the "Dream it stage" and is where we get a full picture of what you are hoping for in both the layout and all the fine details with a general idea of cost in mind. Through a Pinterest collaboration, we can deeply learn about your aesthetics and ideas. Once the ideas are gathered, we send it back through an estimating filter to see if we have dreamed beyond the original budget. The dreaming stage can be super exciting and always yields a lot of ideas, but can also guide us over budget. To solve for this, we sift through the ideas and decide which ones are must haves, nice to have and can let go. From here, allowances in selections will be introduced.
Our design team will work in cooperation with you to come up with the best balance between ideas and budget which brings us to the Quote It stage.
Quote It
The quoting process starts with the feasibility study which is a loose guess. As the design is developed, allowances will be suggested, selections will be offered and we'll have a more accurate understanding of the developing costs. Only when the design is finished, can we count the parts and price out everything precisely to give you an exact quote including sending the plans off for pricing from our subs and vendors.
After the design is done and the final project is quoted, it gets presented as a complete package, including; 3D renderings, construction documents, a detailed description of the scope of work, and an exact price for the work to be done. At this point we can either move straight to the Remodeling Contract to Build It, or we can stop. Either way, you will be given copies of the plans and conceptual drawings, our quote, and any other special preparations that we made on your behalf. If you decide not to move forward with HyggeHus, then we keep the fee for services rendered. If you do proceed with us, 100% of the fee will be put towards your downpayment. That is how much we value thorough PreConstruction planning.
We also offer financing up to $150,000, with zero down, zero payments, and zero interest for 12 months, take a look at our financing page for more info.
Build It
We prioritize keeping you informed through our construction management software, providing you with access to daily job logs that detail progress and include photos. You can directly email us and track all communications in one organized location, while also accessing the project schedule to view both real-time updates and upcoming milestones. This ensures that even if you're out of town during the remodel, you'll remain well-informed of daily developments.
At the project's conclusion, we will conduct a final walk-through with you alongside HyggeHus owners, Zeke and Shelley, to ensure your complete satisfaction. Additionally, we will arrange a photoshoot to capture the results, sharing these images on our website and presenting them to you in an online album for you to share with friends and family. We are genuinely excited to embark on this journey with you!
