2D Planning
After surveying the property and speaking with the client, we have a great idea of what they are looking for. Our team of experts will begin the planning process to allow for more discussion with our client.
When taking on a large project like this covered patio & outdoor kitchen, we need to make sure the client really understands the vision BEFORE we even begin digging.

3D Rendering
For clients who struggle with envisioning the planned concept, the use of 3D renderings are the most exciting part of preliminary work. Clients can really visualize what their space will look like upon completion, and make adjustments to materials, colors, patterns, etc.

Acquire Permits
Approval of the concept plans on a project allows us to create the required drawings, that meet code for permitting, with accurate dimensions for our customers to look over and make any adjustments prior to seeing their project come to life.

Groundbreaking
And it begins. The groundbreaking starts with a whole lot of digging. Our team utilizes the approved schematics to begin to outline the entire project. There’s no turning back now!

Foundation
Forming the foundations is the next step. Following code requires inspection by the local builder’s official. Then, with their approval, the structure can start to take shape.

Beams & Rafters
Understanding the intricacies of woodwork and framing are important and we pride ourselves on our ability to engineer and construct strong, safe and impressive structures. Today our team is installing the beams and rafters with custom steel joints.

Sealing the Roof
Rain or shine this is shaping up to be a fantastic outdoor living space. Framing done, stone veneer and shingles next!

Pouring the Concrete
Time to connect the covered patio to the driveway and side entrance. We thoughtfully planned a unique walkway and began pouring concrete for this project.
Landscaping concepts should always weave their way beautifully into your setting.

Natural Stone Facade
The structure is built and now it’s time to add the finishing touches. No artificial stone on this project!! A natural stone facade on the exterior is a great choice for the outdoors, and will never go out of STYLE!!
