Our Process

When lifestyle changes require home style changes, you begin to formulate ideas about renovation options. But where do you go from there with your ideas?

  Start with a Call to Our Office: After you have reviewed our web site. we start off our relationship by having a phone conversation with the purpose of confirming a fit between what you are looking for and the services we offer. We will also confirm your goals for the project.  
  • Why you want to do your project and what will be important to you about the finished product
  • What budget range or investment amount you have set aside for your project
  • What your decision making process will be regarding the project as well as choosing the contractor
  • If we both agree it makes sense to get together we will set up a date and time to have an initial meeting. we will require that all decision makers involved in the project be in attendance

Step 1

Getting to know each other

Our first meeting is complimentary it helps us understand your goals and the characteristics of your space. During this meeting, we'll share our experiences with current design trends, material selections and important project considerations like budgeting and construction planning.

People involved

  • Home owner and/or Decision makers
  • An experienced MFM Design specialist

Desired outcome

  • Verify that there is a good fit between contractor & client.
  • Determine the best method of communication
  • Define goals for project & how client will measure the success of project

Step 2

Design

In Design, we'll sign an Fixed Fee Design Agreement, measure your space, and begin sketching different floor plans of the space. You'll see 2 - 3 different design concepts, typically in a combination of sketches, elevations and 3D drawings, where applicable. We'll start to define budgeting scenarios and begin selecting materials for the space.

People involved

  • MFM Design & Construction
  • Depending on scope of project: In house Architect, Kitchen designer or interior designer
  • Home owner & decision maker

Desired outcome

  • Measure your space & begin sketching different floor plans of the space.
  • Define budgeting scenarios

Step 3

Committing to Construction

With the initial plans in place, we'll sign a comprehensive Fixed Fee Construction Proposal. We'll record every detail: design finishes, material selection and construction requirements, that we'll need to prepare the construction documents. You'll meet your Project Manager and talk about what's to come during an on-site project review.

People involved

  • Homeowner & Decision Maker
  • MFM Design & Construction
  • In-house Architect or Designer

Desired outcome

  • Sign Construction Agreement
  • preparing the construction documents
  • Verify finish detail
  Our Initial Design Process and What to Expect we only offer design services to those who intend to have us build their project. By doing business this way we are able to streamline and reduce the total cost as well as the time it takes to complete the design.   Our initial project design and specification process does not include any of the architectural or structural blueprints required for actual construction or permit application.

Step 4

Project Planning & Pre-staging

Establishing and Confirming the Project Schedule The exact start date of your project will be conditional on you selecting and us confirming the availability or ordering lead time of all products and materials to be included.

People involved

  • MFM Design & Construction
  • Project Manager
  • Trade Partners

Desired outcome

  • Building Permit Application
  • Project Critical Path & Schedule created
  • Secure all Final Selections from Client
  • Pre-ordering of custom & special order materials
  • On-Site pre-construction meeting with clients as a final review of everything before construction begins

Step 5

Project Construction

This is where all of the hard work, meetings, and planning will pay off. You'll see how our process lays the framework for a very organized and smooth progression through the various stages of construction. During construction, our on-site project manager will ensure that any and all construction professionals involved in your project will work together like a well-oiled machine. Keeping You Informed and Involved During Construction To help us reduce construction delays and minimize the impact of construction you'll need to commit to attending and participating in scheduled meetings during construction By attending these meeting you will help us complete your project with the quality you expect, as quickly as possible

Step 6

Project Completion and Warranty

We know you'll be happy to have us working with you to create your dream space. At the same time we know you'll be really happy to see us leave so you can enjoy the finished space! We know that wrapping up your project in a timely manner will save you a lot of stress and create a better overall experience so we always schedule a Pre-completion Quality Control Checklist meeting. We schedule this to ensure that no detail is left out and to make sure everything is completed in a timely manner before we leave the job site. Our level of service doesn't end when your job is complete, we offer a comprehensive warranty package and dedicated client services team to help maintain your new space.

 

 

Don't take our word for it

We hired MFM DC to redesign our kitchen, inclusive of adding on a 250 sq ft addition. Jon, Mike and Marcus have been fantastic. Their craftsmanship is stellar and they have provided fantastic suggestions along the way that really make the features of the room standout. From the onset of the project, the team had our best interests at hand. Any subs that MFM had to bring in were all remarkable as well, and MFM ensured that we were satisfied every step of the way.

In addition to the great work, the MFM team has a great personality and takes pride in developing a relationship with their clients. We plan on having MFM come back to do additional projects once the kitchen is completed.
