HOW WE MAKE YOUR VISION COME TO LIFE
Our journey begins at hello. Here at TriVistaUSA Design + Build, we start our preliminary consultation with one goal in mind: how can we help turn your remodeling dreams into a reality? During this time, our skilled team members will listen and determine what is not working for you at your current home. We will then make our way to your house to further evaluate the full scope of your project. With our expertise, along with your needs in mind, we will begin to determine a price point and schedule that is specific to the work you would like to accomplish. We want to ensure you are on board with everything we plan because it’s your home! Our main goal is to give you exactly what you want by listening to your family’s needs and ever-changing lifestyle.

As you start thinking about remodeling your home, you'll probably have lots of questions, but most importantly, you'll want to find the right partner that works for you! TriVistaUSA Design + Build has what you need, and we're here to clarify our process. The Schematic Design Agreement (SDA) answers the three most important questions our homeowners ask, "What could it look like? How long will it take? How much will it cost?” We will provide you with three different and unique design options that address your specific needs and wants. Each design will include approximate pricing and scheduling based on the designs we create during the schematic phase. Our entire team will collaborate and collect all necessary information to make sure that you are receiving the best designs that align with your goals.
The Design + Build Agreement (DBA) allows us to combine exciting options from the schematic plans developed during our SDA phase, and with your feedback, tweak them into one cohesive masterpiece. You will partner with our in-house designer to select each fixture, finish, and construction detail with budget updates. Each item needed to complete your project is carefully addressed and used to create an interrelated and connected project design. With any options you've asked us to include, the entire buildable project is laid out in a detailed construction proposal, incorporating every part and piece of your design into a construction-ready document, awaiting your signature! Our experienced architects and designers will help lead you through each step of this process.
