How It's Done

The build, step by step.

1

Assessment & zoning review

We measure ceiling height, inspect existing mechanicals and waterproofing, and review zoning for legal-suite and separate-entrance feasibility.

2

Permits, drawings & engineering

We prepare permit drawings, coordinate any required engineering, and submit applications for fire separation, egress, and plumbing changes.

3

Framing, insulation & subfloor

Stud walls for fire separation and sound attenuation go up, followed by insulated subfloor systems and moisture-managed prep.

4

Mechanical rough-ins

Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC rough-ins are coordinated and inspected, including sewage ejector and ventilation where required.

5

Drywall, tile & finishes

Board, tape, and prime; then large-format tile or luxury vinyl plank, custom millwork, wet bar, and paint to your selected finish tier.

6

Inspections & handover

We coordinate final city inspections, complete site cleanup, and walk you through the finished space to confirm quality.
