Your price was locked before you signed. This phase turns that signed plan into a start date — permits filed, purchase orders issued, cabinets and long-leads authorized.
This Phase, in Plain English
This phase begins the moment you sign. We hold a pre-construction meeting, pull permits, issue purchase orders, and authorize cabinets and long-lead materials within days — so the schedule you were handed is the schedule we start against. The bidding and verification that set your price already happened, inside design, before you signed anything.

Your Whole Team
Names, roles, and direct lines.
What Happens First
The first two weeks, mapped.
How We’ll Communicate
Your daily log, your Friday update, your schedule.
You meet the team before day one.
Why You Receive It
The first weeks after signing are where most builds turn chaotic — verbal agreements, missing permits, surprise start dates. The Memorandum turns every pre-construction decision into a signed record before a single trade arrives.
What makes ours differentEvery logistics decision — site hours, protection tier, communication cadence — captured in writing and signed before mobilization, not worked out on your driveway.
Why You Receive It
You should know exactly who’s building your home, and how to reach them, before the first day of work.
What makes ours differentYou meet your whole team — and get their direct lines — before we ever mobilize.
Every document here becomes a chapter of your living build binder — yours to keep.
Who Owns This Phase
