Design Process

At Ohio Property Brothers we pride ourselves on delivering a team approach to your project. This will start during our first scheduled call when we discuss where you are in the process. We want to get acquainted with you! What are your ideas and vision for the project? Have you been planning this for years or are you just getting started? Normally, during a free 20 minute discovery phone call we can determine if an in-home consultation is necessary. During our visit to your home we love seeing any photos or sketches that you have saved in a folder or simply a screenshot on your phone. We will discuss timeframe and budget while taking some rough measurements. Our measurement appointments normally take 30-90 minutes and we typically follow up with a design agreement detailing the necessary next steps within 1-3 business days.

Once the design agreement is approved, we shift directly to the design and preconstruction phase. During preconstruction, we work with you to identify materials and clarify the scope of work. This can seem daunting and time-consuming, but we expedite this critical phase of planning on our online project management platform with a customer portal where details and decisions are organized and clarified. Sometimes, this phase of the project actually takes longer than the execution of work!

With the completed design, we can sign the construction contract together. Permits and site work can begin soon, and your job is in production! We share our interactive and live production calendar with you so that you’ll know the plan for the entire project. We work diligently to maintain a timeline that reduces the disruption in your normal schedule. Communication is paramount to all of our staff we share pictures and answer questions in real-time and are available to navigate any issues or concerns quickly, should they arise.

The closeout phase starts before the end of the project. We pay close attention to sweeping, dusting, mopping, cleaning, or shining any areas affected by the project. We strive for a zero-punch list. During this final phase, we will register or deliver any warranty paperwork and explain the use of any new features in your home, and you can rest assured knowing you will understand how to use anything we have installed. We love pictures of our hard work and may schedule a photo shoot and share any pictures with you.
