Consultation
(1-2 weeks)
Initial meeting to determine scope of project
Discuss preliminary needs and budget considerations
Architecture and Design
(1-2 months)
Hillson Homes will pair you with an experienced architect or architectural designer who will bring your ideas and dreams to life.
Estimates and Contracts
(1-2 weeks)
Once you are completely satisfied that your architectural designer has captured your ideas in a working set of drawings, we will then provide you with a detailed estimate based on your plans.
Upon favourable review of our estimate we will sign contracts and initiate the process for renovating your home.
Financing
(1-2 weeks)
Now it is time to present your ideas and financing requirements to the bank.
Hillson homes works with ATB and our customers are given preferred terms and rates. We can introduce you to our representative at ATB and they can walk you through the process.
If you prefer to use a bank of your choosing we would be happy to accommodate this.
City permits and approvals
(3 weeks to 4 months)
We will undertake the submission of all necessary documentation to the city and secure all permits required for renovating your home.
Depending on your project you may only require a building permit. However some projects will require development approval before a building permit will be issued. We are experienced in this process and will ensure the correct steps are taken for city approval.
Selections
(1-2 months)
The permitting process affords a window of opportunity to complete the selection process before construction commences. This is important as it will assist us in maintaining the construction schedule and ensure we are not waiting for selections to be made.
This can be one of the most exciting steps in the construction process. Because there are literally hundreds of components that will go into the building of your home we employ an online collaboration system to keep everyone informed and on track. All of the selections you will make from exterior finishing to the appliances in your kitchen are laid out and timelines are suggested for each. You will always know exactly what stage your home is at in the process and can plan your selections accordingly. We also have professional designers available to help with this process and ensure that the whole picture comes together consistently.
Construction
(Dependant on Scope of Project)
Once the necessary permits are in place we can begin the renovation process.
We commit to always be available throughout your renovation to answer questions and ensure that you are an active participant in all decisions. Our goal is to make the construction process an enjoyable experience.
Warranty and Service
As a member of Renomark, Hillson Homes warranties your project for 2 years. You can have peace of mind knowing your investment is protected. Our homeowner orientation takes place upon completion of your renovation.
