Working With MiLar: Our Process
As many of us know, a successful remodel takes a great deal of planning and preparation. At MiLar Design & Build, we believe the process should be transparent, enjoyable, and stress-free. For a deeper look into our streamlined approach, we've compiled a brief overview of how we will tackle your project's unique ins and outs from start to finish — let's dive in.
Offering Personalized Guidance From The Start
Before dividing a project into two distinct phases — design & build — we begin with a brief but insightful chat to hear about your vision and determine how our services can help make your dream home a reality. We like to think of this initial call as a "first date" — finding a connection with our client's vision and ensuring we are the right fit is a crucial step in a successful (and rewarding) remodel.
Following our initial call, we will meet at your home to walk through room by room and get a feel for the layout, architectural elements, and how best to bring the space to life. Then, after discussing which aspects of your space work and which detract from the overall enjoyment of your home, we'll begin to form a design plan that seamlessly blends form and function with your dream aesthetics and lifestyle goals.
It's All In The Details
Once contracts are signed and design plans are drafted, it’s time to dive into the details. Through a series of in-depth meetings, we ensure you remain up-to-date and part of the decision process at every step. Our process is extremely tailored, with each client determining their level of involvement; some clients want to be a part of every detail and decision, while others prefer to let us “drive” the car per se and make certain decisions on their behalf. Meetings begin with deciding on an agreed-upon budget, followed by interior design aspects such as the countertop, tiles, and paint color, as well as finalizing products such as faucets, light fixtures, and cabinet hardware.
When you work with MiLar, there are no surprises. To ensure we are on the same page every step of the way, we're intentional about receiving client feedback and confirmation on all selections before moving forward. Plus, we have proven systems in place that keep us on schedule and on budget.
Making Your Dream Home A Reality
Now, it's time to sit back and let our team do the heavy lifting. To begin the "build" phase of your project, we'll handle preparing the job site by applying for permits, reviewing access and storage, installing portable toilets, and determining material sourcing. When construction begins, you can rest assured that our seasoned team will manage all complex city and specialty inspections, while keeping you in the loop with regular updates and progress reports. In addition, we'll work closely with a qualified team of architects and subcontractors to ensure all interior design plans are implemented to your liking so that your goals are met
