Comprehensive Project Evaluation
Our process, "The Comprehensive Project Evaluation or CPE", from the introductory appointment, to the design phase, job scope development, the trades meeting and final cost analysis review, is a carefully developed system that was created to benefit the Homeowner and help them thoroughly understand what they need to know before they can safely sign an agreement for their renovation project.
Pacific West Construction believes that there are three vital components to a successful project. We call it Comprehensive Project Evaluation or CPE.
Design. The first thing we need to do is create the design. You will be introduced to our on staff Designer who will meet with you, take detailed digital images and measurements that will be shared with the Team. In addition the Designer will review and collect any ideas you have regarding style and finish and begin the consultation to determine final material selections. The Designer will arrange visits to showrooms for selections and coordinate the final space plan.
Job Scope. This is possibly the most critical aspect. The Job Scope not only will describe what the project includes, it will also indicate what is NOT included. Clear communication and complete understanding of the scope is crucial. It may take 2-3 meetings before it is accurate! Job scope development includes a visit to the project location with the Pacific West Trades Partners (our plumber, electrician, painter, floorcovering installer, etc) where a detailed review of the scope of work will be completed and a plan of action will be created to address every item. This one step alone can help eliminate surprises later as everyone has had a chance to review the actual onsite conditions.
Cost Analysis. We use historical data, trade partner and vendor input to create an accurate cost evaluation. The investment figure will be presented as a lump sum amount for the entire project scope.
