FAQ

Design/Build is a term used to describe a business that combines a high-quality, professional design with high-quality professional construction.

At Lone Star we follow these steps in the design/construction process:

• Step 1 – Is an initial consultation including discussions regarding the wants and needs of the project, “ballpark” budget and field measurements. If the project is simple we will provide you with a promptly written estimate followed by an agreement if a design is involved.

• Step 2 – We will make some pencil sketches and provide you with a rough estimate of the project. If you are comfortable we will go to the design/development phase.

• Step 3 – We will provide hand-drawn plans or CAD drawn plans by a designer or Architect. The complexity of the project and the comfort of the client determine which way we proceed. Along with this, we will do a line-by-line estimate of your job. There will be a fee commensurate with the depth of design and the level of the person used.

• Step 4 – Is the construction agreement. This details your project and provides us with an agreement to go forward with construction.

• Step 5 – Is the actual construction phase.

• Step 6 – Is the project completion. A final invoice will be issued and the warranty period begins.

There is no charge for the initial consultation.
