Meet with your Design Consultant to discuss the full scope of your project and your initial budget. In this meeting, your Design Consultant will get some initial measurements and a feel for your style.
Once you’ve met with your Design Consultant, you’ll get an initial design and suggested budget.
Once you love your floor plan your Design Consultant works with you to choose your fixtures and finishes otherwise known as selections.
So you love the design Zenith provided. Now what? You’ll get a written proposal for your project to sign in order to move forward with the project.
In the pre-construction meeting, you meet your Superintendent and learn how to prep for construction.
Arguable the most exciting part and the most challenging: construction! Your project is underway and soon you will have the home of your dreams.
We deliver work that meets the highest expectations: craftsmanship, communication, and professionalism. It's in our name!
There is always more to learn, and we are always learning! From podcasts and books to even YouTube videos, we are always passing around anything that can help each other grow.
We face problems directly, have tough conversations, and make decisions that align with our mission — even when uncomfortable. We embrace healthy conflict to protect team and client outcomes.
The world of residential remodeling has a lot of ups and downs for both the customer and the builder. We keep this in mind as we work through the design + build process, and we’ve always got our customers’ backs.
Plain and simple, we own what we do. We take ownership of our individual roles and ownership of our larger projects. We’re proud of the work we do, and we own that too.
We’re all about keeping it positive and seeing the good in things! We’re a pretty fun bunch, and keeping it positive keeps us that way.
