What are the steps in a design-build remodel?

Consultation, preliminary scope, design development, agreement, permits, construction, punch list, and warranty walkthrough.

When should permits be submitted?

After layout and structural decisions are stable - before ordering long-lead items tied to rough-in.

Can I live at home during a kitchen remodel?

Sometimes, with a temporary kitchen plan. Layout and utility shutoffs determine feasibility.

How are selections tracked?

Against allowances in written scope so upgrades are intentional, not surprise change orders.

What is a punch list?

A documented list of items to complete before final payment and warranty walkthrough.

How long does Ada County plan review take?

Often 2–8+ weeks depending on project type and comment cycles - see our permit timeline article.
