- Convenience - We are responsible for all phases of design and construction.
- Information - We communicate with you during the process. Our design and construction teams have a proven track record of cooperation, resulting in better management and efficiency.
- Cost savings - Our design and construction teams work together to determine the most cost-effective means of construction. We build to your budget.
- Minimal initial investment - Low design fees allow you to explore your options.

Owens Construction can also offer a tremendous value to homeowners who have already prepared plans for their improvement through other sources. We welcome the opportunity to partner with you and make your project a reality.
Step 1: Initial meeting with Owens project development staff
We will discuss the project overview and set budget parameters.
Step 2: Initial design meeting
You’ll meet our designer to discuss the project scope and your priorities, needs and desires.
Step 3: Project development plan and agreement
You’ll have the opportunity to read the agreement and discuss fees. We will begin design work after you sign the agreement and pay a deposit.
Step 4: Field measurements
The designer will measure your home for preliminary drawings.
Step 5: Design review meeting
The designer will submit preliminary drawings (schematics) to you and collect a progress payment. Revisions, if beyond anticipated will be proposed in advance.
Step 6: Scope-of-work proposal
We will conduct a thorough investigation of the needs of your home and coordinate proposals from trade partners based on your preliminary plans.
We will figure the preliminary proposal based upon your plan, estimates, and product allowances.
We will present you with a scope-of-work description and budget range.
Upon your approval, we proceed to the next step. When you give us the go-ahead on your project, things really begin to happen. Get ready for contract!
Step 7: Retainer
You will be asked to sign a construction retainer agreement. The amount of the retainer will be deducted from your final draw.
Then we will:
- Give you a “shopping list” of vendors so you can choose fixtures and products from our suppliers; if you wish, our interior designer will assist you with selections
- File for zoning variance and Architectural Review Board approval if necessary, and required building permits
- Figure the final proposal from the material take-offs, trade contractor proposals and your final product selections
- Present our proposal package to you, including final scope-of-work description, specifications and draw schedule
Step 8: Proposal acceptance
Upon your acceptance of the proposal, we will:
- Set up a pre-construction meeting with you, the production manager and the Lead Remodeler
- Schedule construction
Step 9: Construction begins
We're privileged to have earned your confidence. Our qualiified craftsmen will complete your project professionally and treat your home with respect. If you plan to finance the project, we'll be happy to introduce you to several trusted lenders.
