The DiFabion Process

How It Starts

Great projects take time, and ours is built that way on purpose. From your first call to the start of construction, the process can take months, depending on availability and how quickly decisions can be made. We take our time up front to make sure the project is exactly what you want and that we can deliver it. Once construction begins, you’re never working with just one person. Behind your direct contacts is a whole team of people overseeing your project, so if anything comes up, it’s handled quickly.

Step 1: The Discovery Call

You have an idea—great. Now let’s talk about it.
During this initial call, we:

  • Understand your goals, needs, and vision
  • Discuss your investment range
  • Determine if a Design-Build approach is the right fit

Step 2: The Right Fit Appointment

We meet with you in your home and:

  • Review your wants, needs, and long-term goals
  • Walk the space and evaluate opportunities
  • Discuss expectations, investment, and timeline

Step 3: Check & Measure

You’ll meet our team and we:

  • Take detailed notes and measurements
  • Capture photos
  • Establish the foundation for design

Step 4: Plan Review 1

This is where your ideas start to take shape. We present initial design concepts based on everything we’ve learned about your home and your goals. You’ll see how the space could function and flow, and we’ll talk through what’s working and what isn’t. Your feedback guides everything that comes next.

Step 5: Plan Review 2

We refine the plan you’ve selected, incorporating your feedback. As the design comes into focus, we also align scope and investment, so you can see how each decision affects the projects’ budget before anything is finalized.

Step 6: Project Development

Here we turn your approved design into a complete, buildable plan. We finalize:

  • Site evaluations
  • Product and material selections
  • Construction drawings
  • Detailed pricing

By the end of this step, you’ll know exactly what’s being built and what it will cost.

Step 7: Construction Agreement & Production Handoff

We finalize your construction agreement and all project documents, then hand your project from our design team to our production team, who review every detail so nothing is lost in translation. Just before construction begins, we hold a pre-construction walkthrough at your home. This is your chance to meet the production manager and project manager who will oversee your project, walk the space together, and talk through what to expect once work starts.

Step 8: Construction Begins

Your project comes to life. Our production team manages the schedule, trades, and site from start to finish. Scheduling and communication run through Buildertrend, a project management platform that keeps everything in one place. You can see what’s happening and what’s coming next, and you always have a clear point of contact for questions.

Step 9: Key Walkthroughs

Throughout construction, your project manager is on site regularly to inspect progress and quality. Our designers and marketing team also stop by to check on the work and on you. At key milestones, we walk the project with you to review progress, confirm details, and verify quality. These checkpoints let us catch and address anything early, before it becomes a problem.

Step 10: Project Completion

As your project nears the finish line, we hold a pre-final walkthrough to go over any last-minute punch list items so they can be taken care of before the big day. Once everything is complete, we do a final walkthrough to confirm every detail meets our standards and your expectations. Afterward, your project developer reaches out to schedule a close-out meeting, where we review your warranty information, check in on your experience, and ask for your feedback through a short survey. And of course, we celebrate your new space.
