Construction Stage
We begin this stage by ordering building materials, special items, appliances, etc. that have long lead times. In addition to the construction work itself, SDB takes full responsibility for:
  • Conducting a pre-construction meeting with clients, remodeling consultant & lead carpenter
  • Preparing construction documents
  • Obtaining building permits
  • Assigning a lead carpenter or project manager
  • Site-preparation
  • Weekly on-site meetings with client
Project Completion
Once construction has been completed, we:
  • Conduct a walk-through-During this walk-through, SDB creates a final to-do list and ensures everything meets our high standards (and the client’s, of course)
  • Begin 2-year warranty on labor
  • Schedule a 6-month walk-through
Six-Month Walk-Through
Because Schroeder Design/Build is truly committed to ensuring every client’s full satisfaction, we conduct another walk-through with the client six months after the project’s completion.
